AKA questions for Gavin

Do we have a thread for "people you thought probably died years ago but are still alive"

(in this case, Jimmy Carter)

John Astin (Gomez Addams in the 1960s TV series The Addams Family)

Goodness me, every other month it happens.
Burt Bacharach recently though he has died now. Basically every famous person who hasn't been working.
You could put this in the Mandela effect thread.
Or have I just imagined that.

There was this post if that helps.

Until just now, I would have also said, Dickie Davies. But alas.

Pretty sure I read that he'd died years ago and then I checked later and he was magically back alive.

I have noticed since this thread began, nearly every day someone dies that I previously thought was already dead

Bob Champion on The Chase.
Ironic he outlived John Hurt

You'll have to been born before 1970 to remember him, but Freddie "Parrot Face" Davies is still alive, and still working, apparently.

Is he still working?
I loved him in Funny Bones

He took a part in ITVs "The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe", as recently as 2002.

Is that the Eddie Marsan one that I saw last year?
Edit it is, you made a typo

Kenneth Cope....92yo. He played Marty Hopkirk in the 1970s series Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased),

Arthur Scargill, 85yo.... I always assumed he was much older when he was leader of the NUM.

Also, Boris Spassky*,86yo, former World Chess Champion, who was defeated by Bobby Fischer in 1972.

Stanley Baxter, 97

Henry Kissinger 99
