Glynis Johns, who sang Send in the Clowns and Sister Suffragette on Mary Poppins, dies aged 100 - ABC News

I particularly loved her as a mermaid in the film Miranda, when I was small.

RIP Glynis

I also remember her from that cute but weird mermaid film. She was a wonderful entertainer and always gave the impression of being a very nice person as well as an interesting one.

I’m sorry to read of her passing away.

I had the absolute privilege and honour to meet a lady tonight who was 100 years old. What an amazing lady. She must have so many stories to tell, and I would have gladly sat there and listened for hours. She got 7 different letters for her 100th birthday last October. Firstly, from the King, but also other state dignitaries in NSW, and I think the Governor General. She was so proud. She was secretly sad that she didn't get one from Queen Elizabeth, but was still stoked to get one from the king.

A lovely, spritely lady, who still lives at home. Still mostly independent. Her family help her with the housework and shopping, but she still takes care of herself, cooks and gardens.

I suggest…. Well, we can distinguish between celebrities and entertainers.

If anything goes horribly wrong with the Kardashians… into the celeb thread they go.

Ewa Podleś has died.

❝Ewa Podleś (1952-2024)

The Polish contralto Ewa Podleś, whose powerful yet supremely agile voice was a force of nature, has died in Warsaw aged 71.

[…]

Endowed with a three-octave range and a cavernous chest-register which could cut effortlessly across a full orchestra, Podleś excelled in dramatic Rossini assignments such as Tancredi, Arsace in Semiramide, and the title-role in Ciro in Babilonia, and as Handel's Orlando, Bertarido (Rodelinda), Polinesso (Ariodante) and Rinaldo.

[…]

On the concert-platform, Podleś was renowned for her interpretations of Russian and Polish song repertoire, frequently championing music by her compatriots Lutosławski, Szymanowski and Penderecki. She often performed and recorded with her husband, the Polish pianist Jerzy Marchwiński, whom she survived by just two months.

Podleś died of lung cancer on 19th January, and is survived by her daughter Mari Madej and step-daughter Ania Marchwinska, who announced her death earlier this week.❞

71 - way too young. And she only retired from performing six years ago! She was still teaching …

I am not overstating things by saying she was one of the greatest contraltos who ever lived. May angels sing her to the eternal concert hall.

I watched a lot of their series.

Good down to earth cooking (even if not healthy sometimes/most times)

Enjoyable watching.

Sad to read that Jonnie Irwin who used to present for Escape to the Country died on 2nd February.

He had been diagnosed with lung cancer back in 2020 and it had spread to his brain.

A more positive person given his prognosis was amazing.

He leaves behind his wife Jessica and three young boys (Rex aged 6 and twin boys Cormac and Rafa aged 2). He left an amazing number of videos for them so that his children would know who their father was, given they are all very young.

Vale Jonnie - you will be missed by many
