The Avengers International Fan Forum

denis rigg

Here are list of the performers who participated in The Avengers and who are currently alive and possibly alive.

I started this research from 2015 when I planned to do interviews with different people participating in the Avengers/TNA. The first person to be delivered was Patrick Macnee (the basics of the basics Very Happy

). Alan Hayes, Christine Stutz and me wrote him a special letter and thanks to Mona Morstein it was sent. Alas, Patrick died soon after. Sad

It was greatest mourning and the topic was postponed.

When I returned to this topic, there were some difficulties in working in this direction. Since I could not work alone due to my poor knowledge of English, there was a need to collaborate with someone who could edit the material into good English and skillfully edit the text itself for readers (person with a professional approach). At that time, Alan and I had different free schedules and we could not cooperate. Alan was the perfect editor in my opinion, and I postponed the topic again.

I still have it in the plans and last years I studied which Avengers/TNA people are with us, so that I would know with whom I could contact.

Frankly, some months ago I already tried to create contact with Chris Bunn, Annabella Heath and Roy Beck Jr., but none of them answered me. Well, maybe in the future other attempts will be more successful. Wink

The lists of Avengers performers are divided into several sections for comfort. Also shown selectively of performer pages on social networks.

(information will change regularly depending on the results of further research and events)

Any of your comments that can improve this list are always welcome.

Wow, that's a list!

I admire your dedication and thoroughness. It's comforting to see the names of those still with us.

denis rigg · Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2019 10:36 am Post subject:

Yes, Darren, it's very nice to see that many performers are still with us. The last one I wrote in the section Living actors and actresses (data for 2019) was Barbara Shelley - I couldn’t hear about her for last years.
Last her message (by 24 March 2016) on Twitter page was following:

Still in hospital and feeling rather down... Your thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated! Thank you everyone!

This year she is planned for London Film & Comic Con – Summer (2019). Wink

While I was waiting for DNS settings of registrator (to work on resuscitation of Steedumbrella, moved to new hosting), I decided to look here. As result: a new study is done and now the topic is called "The Avengers: living and possibly living performers for 2020".

In addition to a fresh look at the sheets, the changes include:

1) Yvonne Shima move from year of birth approx. 1941 to approx. 1935.
2) Paul Anil move to year of birth approx. 1929.

Therefore, the information below is called into question:
