2025 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

No, Wings Hauser was the neighbor who moved in next door, after the yuppie couple left. He was the father of Charlotte and Molly; Molly was the one who went to a concert with Darlene and ditched her for some shady guys. The abusive boyfriend was played by Matt Roth. He and Laurie Metcalf were married shortly afterwards, and stayed married for about twenty years and a kid or two.

Thanks for the correction.

It looks like nobody noticed that no one got any points for Pilar del Rey a few weeks ago.

She was only 10 years older than Sal Mineo.

Ronald ‘Roe’ Messner, a building contractor who gained a bit of fame by building over 1700 churches, including a number of mega-churches, has raised his last steeple at age 89.

So what, you say? Well, he achieved a lot of notoriety when he married Tammie Faye Bakker after she divorced her first husband, Jim. Messner was the chief builder for the Bakker’s Christian theme park, Heritage USA.

Dead in a Decade: Roe Messner obit

The emperor is dead. Long live the emperor.

Looks like Bruce Glover cashed in his 8 points about two and a half weeks ago.

Yep. He was also Crispin Glover’s father.

Richard Chamberlain

Confirmed by NYTimes and Wiki. Died from a stroke two days before his 91st birthday.

Tyronne got points for Chamberlain.

Woo hoo! Tied for 34th place!
BTW, what is the total number of entrants?

There are 98 total entrants.

Oh, and Tyronne has one more point, I misread and thought he was 91, whereas he just missed his birthday.

When I go I’d like to go on my birthday, it’s New Years Eve and that would be a party!

You could have Wash’s proposed eulogy for Zoe,

“Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower … somewhat less attractive now that she’s all corpsified and gross.”

There also need to be five celebrities who die at the same time so your successor will have to untangle the mystery of who gets the Final Hours award.

But by the rules it is not allowed to nominate Baker as a candidate! No problem with the Final Hours award in this regard, as I see it. And no problem with one point more or less either.
98 participants, that means I am tied for 34th place with 63 others and Czarcasm. Not good enough. I hope something improves the next eight months. One thing is clear: this year I did not peak too early.

Well, some years ago I did win the Final Hours award, for Benazir Bhutto. She was killed on 12/27, and gave me my only points for the year.

One year there were two deaths on Jan 1 and even I was not macabre enough to determine who passed first. Those players I declared joint winners.

All I had to do was look what year Mario Cuomo died and find that death pool. Jeff Golub was the other point-bestower.
