Oh! I thought she died ~~25 years ago~~ a couple of years ago! I'm sure it was even reported on here!

You might be thinking of her sister Joan Fontaine who died a few years ago, aged 96.

I just read Jodie Marsh's name in something to do with 2012, and I was thinking that she'd died in tragic circumstances a few years ago. I checked on Wikipedia and she's still alive!

Oh, I think I was thinking of Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

Whatever happened to Jodie Marsh anyway?

I posted this just last month - he died yesterday, aged 103! gasp

I was just trying to think if Leslie Phillips was still alive or not - and he is, aged 96.

Didn't she become a bodybuilder or something like that?

Ironically I'd always admired SB for having been out and proud even as long ago as when he was in the Kenneth Williams diaries. It's a bit anticlimactic for him to suddenly come out.

Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive. gasp

Roger Cook of The Cook Report, where he'd go round knocking on the door of known criminals, sort of like an 80s version of Ross Kemp. shifty

....Or was that just a local-to-me programme? He was a rather "large" and red-faced man and I haven't seen him on TV in years.

But he still exists and surprisingly looks perhaps younger and healthier than he did 30ish years ago!

I used to like the Cook Report. He wasn't afraid of no-one.
