    Another one who I could have sworn died years ago.

    I need to get up with current affairs instead of trawling the net for memes.

    Forgivable as she seems to have been on the screen since movies began...

    Didn't even know she was British and was Dame Angela Lansbury.

    Evacuated in WWII apparently - just read her wiki. Had a far more interesting life than most people would imagine. Rescued her daughter from Charles Manson's clutches apparently.

    Yeah bit of an awkward one. His music ( to me ) was never good enough to make me forget that he was essentially a creepy paedo to be honest.

    Sounded like a very unlikeable arsehole too.
