2026 Celebrity Death Pool

I watched Tom in an old movie (War Hunt, Redford’s first?) a day or so ago and I thought to myself, “Holy Shit! Look at this kid!”

Pete Banaszak, who spent his entire 13 year career with the Oakland Raiders, has batted his last fumble forward at age 82. Banaszak was part of the infamous ‘Holy Roller’ play, where he knocked a Ken Stabler fumble towards the goal line, where it was eventually recovered by a teammate in the end zone for the game-winning TD.

Apparently that movie was released right around the same time as the Twilight Zone episode in which he played Death (umm, sorry, spoiler alert).

I still remember when Mel Blanc died, but the Looney Tunes have lost their voices again:

And, in between the two, I was depressed when Joe Alaskey died.

George Takei is posting that Walter Koenig died.

… and then there were two.

I have a good record of scoring with former Star Trek stars, but I missed him this time…

RIP - Покойся с миром (Pokoysya s mirom) – Rest in peace

His “Bester” was incredible.

Check off Chekov.

And Shatner looks, acts and sounds the same as he did 20-30 years ago. 95 and I would guess 75 at most if I didn’t know who he was.

George is 89 and has been in a wheelchair for a while. I would not be surprised if Bill is the last man standing and makes it to 100.

Isn’t that just because of foot surgery?

Same here… and I’ve had Shatner on and off my list for several years now.

The actor “faced more than his share of health challenges over the years,” his wife wrote in a post announcing his death.

Donny Iris, of Ah Leah fame (which is on my regular Spotify playlist), screams no more.

Cindy Sondheim, err, Susan Saint James is now a was for 20 points.

You goofed the link @Reeses_Monkey . I was thinking about her the other day and her turn on MASH as a temptation for BJ.

I tried to fix the link and yet failed.
