A pioneer, in her own way. I am glad she lived to see grandchildren 
By the way, this convo thread doesn't have to be about celebs or noteworthy people, posted here. I recall we've logged and chatted about a deceased octopus, and Cheetah the chimp.

All you have to do is type the name (correctly, it's "Nieman") into the search engine, and what pops up is where the name is mentioned. If it says "Deathlist 2012" then someone will have them on their list and that'll be mentioned in the other Deathlist convo thread

Here's one that is really upsetting, and Douglas would agree.
The

Possibly best known for playing Tatie Danielle, yet to me she will always be associated with Ionesco's plays.

I was on holiday when Jon Lord of Deep Purple died. Is he on the "official" thread (I'll never get the hang of this).
Someone should update A865956 and A69939201

Your comment will be lost in the backlog, TC. Update requests should be made at EF: <./>Feedback-Editorial</.>
A quick way to find if someone is in the Deathlist Game is to search for the name - it's the only way I can keep track and I typed up the whole list

You're welcome as always
Anyone is welcome to join the
