When I saw the name Jack Jones, my first thought was the T&GWU leader.
But he died in 2009.

Quincy Jones

Of the above, it's the two musical Joneses who were previously picked in this game. Tom's still going, though.

Quincy and Jack were each picked once, by Beatrice in 2007 and 2008 respectively.

Oh gosh - Janey Godley. She was on Radio 4 and Radio Scotland up until quite recently. I do remember she had a podcast (or maybe a book?) about her cancer, though.

Tony Todd

He played a lot of roles, mostly horror, but also the elderly Jake in ST: DS9's "The Visitor" which is probably my most favourite Trek episode of all time, and that's in amongst some massive competition. It affected me so much that I wrote about it: A5762793 (warning; contains spoilers).

He was just 69, same age as myself RIP Tony
