Pfft! She didn't even make the Top 100! wink

The current oldest living person is over 115, and the Top 100+ are over 113. The oldest ever made it to 122 (the only one to hit 120) eek

NOTE: Using that list for next year's Dead Pool will be a no-no! lol

Damn! 115? uhwhat I can't even imagine living that long. Yet, if I were able to get around and in decent health, and of course able to post here on the BB, tongue I'm okay with living that long. smile

I saw a story on the news the other day of a woman in Cuba who celebrated her 127th birthday on February 4th! eek

Her date of birth has been verified by Cuban authorities, but none of the official lists recognize her as the oldest living person.

Here is an article from BBC.

That's totally amazing. Geez though, I wonder how wrinkly one's skin must be at that age. lol Are you way weaker than when you were 110? Do you long for the good old days when you were 100? God bless her.

She wasn't just once the #1 diva, she was HUGE. Sad how her career's wheels fell off (due to drugs, her beau, etc.) and never getting that comeback.

I know Whitney had problems and yet am still surprised. I thought was getting better although I heard her comeback wasn't they well received and that her voice sound hoarse. I don't know yet how she died but my first thought is either drugs or suicide. How terribly sad. frown

How old would her little girl (with Bobby Brown) be now anyway?

RIP Whitney

"The Bodyguard" was one of my daughters' favorite movies and the soundtrack as well was great. I like all the songs RR mentioned but I really like her version of "I Will Always Love You." She sang like an angel.

I can't get out of my head though the news story in which her and Bobby Brown appeared all spaced out, I forgot what country they were in. It's my speculation that Brown was NOT a good influence on her. frown

As Sonny would say, Wasted Talent. And with her recent past i surprised nobody else picked her...

I was never into her music, but she had a great voice and had the potential to be at the top of her game for literally decades.. It started to go downhill for her when she started acting and the success of the Bodyguard was massive..

RIP...

If she hadn't turned soul music into what it has become now, I'd be sadder.
It needed a woman like Amy Winehouse to give sould music back its soul.

Just so, so, soooo sad. Her ballads of the'80s personified my twentysomehing years. I can't tell you how many weddings I attended back then---including my own---where the first dance was to one of her songs.

FWIW, they're now reporting that she may have actually fallen asleep and drown in the bathtub after taking too many prescription drugs. Shades of Jim Morrison frown.
