Patrick's son has a Facebook page, but Patrick did not create an account during his lifetime as far as I know. Considering that he left the cinema long before his death, he most likely would have continued today in the same way - enjoying the retirement listening to how things are going on social networks through his family and friends.

Lumley made her first social media account a long time ago, perhaps she had several accounts (I visited one that already hasn't existed for a long time).

Thorson still has an actual Twitter account.

Some people are able to hide well under other names, which even close people may not know if the persons are not active. So I can't say for sure about anyone else, including Patrick Macnee. :wink:

Following Ian Oglivy is a treat, albeit a naughty one.

(Roger Moore answered a question of mine in his monthly Q&A. I'd thought I'd throw this in since we're discussing actors and actresses on social media.)

Addition to my post in this thread from Mon Dec 27, 2021 1:28 pm:
denis rigg wrote:Jennifer Wood has been removed from the Possibly living actors and actresses on 2021 list because on Louise Sinclair (Jennifer's daughter) Facebook page, I found out that actress passed away years ago :(

https://www.facebook.com/louise.sinclair.5209
Although Louise Sinclair did not answer me, on March 27 she published a Facebook post dedicated to her mother:

https://www.facebook.com/louise.sinclai ... 8310971356

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums and to those who are a Mother to all. Especially to my dear mum Jennifer who taught me that Mums always do their best, even at the hardest of times. 14 years in Heaven, hope you like the flowers we left for you xxx

This leads to the conclusion that Jennifer Wood died approx. in 2008. This is quite consistent with one of my options that Jennifer was married to Reginald Gibbon in 1985 in Brighton and on a certain point moved to York, North Yorkshire. However, I don't have any other evidence to confirm.
