Funny how a guy publicly announcing that he has advanced pancreatic cancer and doesn’t have much time left suddenly gets him added to so many death pool lists… ---

Christina Applegate Joe Biden Tom Brokaw Michael Douglas TJ Ducklo Paul Hogan Chris Hoy Victoria Jackson Liza Minnelli Jack Nicholson Tatiana Schlossberg Harvey Weinstein Bruce Willis Alternates: Jeff Bridges Julia Louis-Dreyfus I didn’t know who Tatiana Schlossberg was until reading a recent article about her, but she has a Wikipedia page and is/was a journalist and writer. Her main claim to fame is that she is a Kennedy – the daughter of Caroline. I think she qualifies as a celebrity. Common name clarification: Michael Douglas is the actor (son of Kirk). Possibly obscure names explanation: Victoria Jackson is an SNL alum, TJ Ducklo was a Biden advisor with stage four cancer (currently in remission, but still…) whose former boss now joins him on my list, and Chris Hoy is an Olympic bicyclist. ---

As a reminder: Please try to get your lists in before the 31st, that’s **Baker’s** birthday, and I’m reasonably sure she does not wish to spend it updating the spreadsheet. ---

> [@Bayaker](#): > > I didn’t know who Tatiana Schlossberg was until reading a recent article about her, … I think she qualifies as a celebrity. I didn’t read the thread until after posting my list. Looks like Schlossberg, who I _thought_ was relatively unknown, has turned into something of a bandwagon pick 🙂 ---

Yeah - but I’ll advocate to get the lists in early. I run a subscription service as a fundraiser for the high school band. I end up having late nights right when it’s renewal time even though I send out reminders literally months ahead, so I understand the hassle of last minute entries. ---
