A plane carrying Mexican singer Jenni Rivera has gone missing in an expected crash. http://www.cnn.com/2...lane/index.html

Huh?

The plane is missing, and people are expecting that it has crashed.

 

I see. I obviously misread that sentence; I would have phrased it differently.

 

regards,

Hein

No one has yet mentioned Micheline Presle or Hardy Kruger? Both were/are quite famous in their respective countries (France and Germany).

Kruger, internationally too - he starred in "Flight of the Phoenix" (the original, with Stewart, Borginine, Attenbroough et al).His health appears robust though.

Indeed. He was also weel known for A Bridge Too Far and The Wild Geese, but IMDb shows nothing for this year.

Assuming no one has mentioned Bud Spencer (b. 1929) anywhere else (I can't be arsed trawling through old threads). Was best known for starring in numerous rather lowbrow westerns and comedies from the 60s to the early 90s, usually alongside Terence Hill. They were fairly popular internationally for a time I think...

Japanese comic writer Keiji Nakazawa, whose experience of surviving Hiroshima was the inspiration for his work Barefoot Gen, has died of lung cancer. I found out of his illness a few months back through sheer luck - I was bored and browsing through various Wiki pages on people who experienced the atomic bombings - and thus him on my planned DDP team (which I have not sent yet) in hopes that his interesting backstory and the success of his work would be enough to warrant an obit.

Mariangela Melato, who patricians like me will know was the female lead in the original 1974 Swept Away and plebs like you will remember as "Kala in Flash Gordon", has died at 71.

It seems to be lucky on my part he died before the New Year: I've occasionally checked to see if he'd have gotten a relevant obit and a few weeks later, he's gotten some US obits of note such as one from the Washington Post, but nothing UK-based.
