Celebrities that most people think are dead but are alive as of today 9/9/2016

I had a discussion with the missus about whose death would have the biggest impact on the world. Nelson Mandela had just passed and at the time Ali was the only person I could think of.
So who is still roaming this earth that, on their death, would be headlines around the world and have every world leader scrambling to get to the funeral. And by that I don't mean the Queen but someone self made and influential.

I think you are correct. Her majesty could be the next huge celebrity to go.

If I think they are dead..............How am I meant to know that they are alive ?

Look it up on google like everyone else.

Well, her reply was - Lucky, I guess.

I think he liked her.

The character yes. The actor "no." He choose (went with the natural flow) the oppo sex.

(Jesus) He'll be back.

I heard he killed Mohammad.

Pele.

He looked very frail last time I saw him during the Olympics. A real legend.

Whip crack way, indeed!

My old head of department (in Vancouver) once told me that Montreal is to Toronoto like Gina Lolobrigida is to Doris Day

@Bwian won't like that

Toronto and Doris Day, both 1st choices.

I had a long argument with a friend recently who was convinced Frank Bruno is dead

Phil the Greek is older than her (96 I think) and looks like he is on his way out to me so I would punt on him before Her Maj.

He's 95 born in June 1921 as was my dad - sadly only reached 71 though.

It may come as a bit of a shock, but Maj is not a "celebrity" - she has a proper (!) job, she doesn't appear on daytime game shows.

Feargal Sharkey

Clive James (saved by a new anti cancer drug at the last minute, even he wrote his orbituary, genuinely thinking the game was up. I only realised he'd survived when he appeared on Newsnight a couple of weeks ago).

 

[Pevenseagull]

Frank Williams (the vicar in Dad's Army)

Feargal Sharkey

An interesting left-field choice - do you know something, he can't be much more than 50. I wouldn't have thought he lived a particularly rock-and-roll lifestyle, but could be wrong.

Frank Williams (the vicar in Dad's Army)

... or indeed Frank Williams the wheel-chair bound owner of Williams F1 racing.

He's 58 but I'd consider his life to be quite bland/boring at least post initial Undertones era.

I should have said "well known important" person.

Would have been better for me, I think. Sorry, but in my book the term "celebrity" is an insult, it is used for people who may be in the public eye, but have zero discernible skills. If they are a musician, then call them a musician, not a celebrity. I don't watch any program with "celebrity" in the title !

you should know, you're a celebrity on this forum.

Just seen in the discussions on his Bobster's Nobel Prize win that Herman (Caine Mutiny) Wouk is still alive at 101. Now, there's someone I thought was long dead
