Thanks for doing this, Baker! I’m pretty sure my list is entirely recycled from various previous death pools in which I have participated. For the record, while indeed a few of these folks made their way onto my list based on personal disdain for them, I wish all my entries a healthy 2023.

Perhaps going for one of the awards like the quote, or Inside Track, or Opening Kickoff? All are equally prestigious and come with a handsome NFT plaque of the winners own design and production. Sure to grace the digital mantels of one’s heirs.
The youngest person on one of my lists is in his upper eighties. I’m going for the most people to pass. As smithsb said I’m going for one of the other awards. Currently I’m tied with phungi on the 2022 for the most unique awards, we both have two.
Reprising my list of entertainers over 90 years old. I helped keep all but four of last year’s aged picks alive for another full year. In 2022 we lost the last of my over-100 picks (Marsha Hunt) and Angela Lansbury, Sidney Poitier, and Estelle Harris gave me a few points, but I’m hoping for a low score again this year to avoid losing any more of these great talents. (Well, I wouldn’t be terribly sad to see Clint Eastwood go.)
As always, I’m playing the odds, not going for points. The maximum I could earn, if all of these wonderful actors dropped dead in early January, is 84. This is the youngest average batch since I started playing the Death Pool in 2017, and the first time that I don’t have anyone over 100 on my list. Eva Marie Saint is only 98, and the youngest, Barbara Eden, is 91.
