I'm pretty sure it's going to show that both of them died at your age,
since they both did.

So it did,but I remember a tie being processed differently before
(one left the visible list and the other did not). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That was probably in the younger-than and older-than sections, which are
set to return ten records, no more and no less. The old-as section returns
however many matches there are, which is zero on most days.

So Slim Pickens and Shari Lewis (who died at ages about a month apart)
both arrived on the older-than list,and Dick York and Donna Summer
will both leave the younger-than list tomorrow. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was surprised to see Lee Marvin still on the younger-than
list as I thought he was the next to be dropped (I was tied
with him the first time I tried this feature)...has someone
just disappeared from the database,by 50-year rule or otherwise?

Looking back on this thread and on the current display, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I realize that Boone is absent with Siegel no longer in a tie. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sorrell Booke is next for me to overtake,while Cheryl Holdridge
appears in the distance.

As I page past Booke Floyd Cramer becomes next to pass,while
Slobodan Milosevic comes into view behind Holdridge. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Having just passed Sargent and drawn alongside Ken Lay, >>>>>>>>>>

They are now the furthest behind of the list I have surpassed. >>>>>>>>

Lay is next to vanish now.

I must next face the (Lorenzo) Music;
Johnny Paycheck appears in the distance past Jennings, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and beyond him that rascal George (Spanky) McFarland. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have now tied him...
Shari Lewis is next...

Now I am between Lewis and Holdridge...

...now I have passed Holdridge and Milosevic.
Cramer and Booke are the next to disappear behind me,
H "TT" K is next to overtake,

Now overtaken...
Jennings is next...

With him gone,next comes Johnny Paycheck...

I have reached the age at which he cashed in...

and...

beyond McFarland

I have a week before I spank his lifespan...

I have reached McFarland's age.

lies Selma Diamond,

Ten days to go.

I have now passed Diamond-level longevity...

and I see that unlike
the two Bewitched Darren Dicks,the database does NOT also >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> include the other gravelly-voiced female Night Court >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bailiff,Florence Halop,who I passed in the past year. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis comes into view behind Diamond. >>>>>>>

...and is thus now next to catch...

Wilson Pickett appears behind her.

I have now passed both of them.
Everyone who died younger than Lewis has vanished
behind me.

And now everyone who died younger than Milosevic.

Herbert "Tim" Khaury's lifespan is now too Tiny to register.

The youngest person remaining on the list behind me
is McFarland.

Now gone,with Diamond on the cusp of going next.

...beyond Pickett lies Caroline McWilliams.

Three days to go...

...behind her lie Bobby Fischer and Malcolm Young.

I have now passed McWilliams and Fischer,and am tied with Young.

Having passed Young,Milosevic now disappears from the list
behind me...

Lee Van Cleef appears behind Young.

I am now past Van Cleef...

...Donna Reed is next beyond Van Cleef.

3 days to go.

beyond her Flip Wilson appears in the distance.

I am now ahead of Wilson and behind Pryor.

Still closing in on Pryor.

I have now passed Pryor.

beyond Wilson is Richard Pryor.

past him is Quinn Martin.

Now just one day away.

followed by Victor Sen Yung and Gene Pitney.

Richard Wright,Denny Doherty,and Tanya Roberts
appear in line behind them.

...and now for some reason Roberts (though still in
the database) has been replaced by Dan Rowan.

She has reappeared after Rowan...their age is TIED.

I now note that sources differ on her age...the DOADb is now
going with birth in 1955 while Wikipedia says she was born 1949.

Val Kilmer and Guy Williams are now in the distance
beyond that tie.

Miles Davis has appeared behind Williams.

I will actually become a better chessplayer than Bobby Fischer was at my age
for the first time since I was a small child (I learned the rules slightly
younger than he did).

Done!
