2026 Celebrity Death Pool

94! Good for her.

I had Nancy on my list, so I finally get on the board for this year. Only six points, but better than nothing. She was in the same high school graduating class as my mother.

Baker scores for Nancy Kassebaum, and notfrommensa picks up 44 points for OJ Brigance – both unique picks

Meanwhile, 30 of us continue to strive to keep people alive.

Amen

Shelley Fabares, aged 18 points, reunites with Johnny Angel.

She managed to live for 26 years after a liver transplant. She’s been married to Mike Farrell since 1984.

That unique pick moves xizor up to 37th place.

Yes! Points for me. I also have her husband on my list, in case they both leave within a few months of each other as long time couples sometimes do.

Leslie Parish, beautiful blond of the 50s and 60s, whose career spanned everything from The Manchurian Candidate to Li’l Abner to one-shot roles in sitcoms, and who wore one of William Ware Theiss’ gown creations in an episode of Star Trek, and who later became an environmentalist, died at age 90.

Here are some pictures of her in the Star Trek episode “Who Mourns for Adonais?” (The one where they encounter Apollo)

From the linked article,

Parrish was living in Washington state when she died in 2025

no one seems to have a when-in-'25 she departed, other than ‘she was 90’, so it had to be after March 18th.

Other sources say 11/14/95. Her “official” website doesn’t say anything about her death at all. I suspect the family didn’t announce it. Now if her estate has gone through probate and it’s public record, they may have decided to release a short stement.

Dolly Parton has died at 80.

She was such a good person she even left 20 points before she passed.

Is it 5 already?

Kent Clark, Prof.Pepperwinkle, Superdude and Schubert get no points for Ms. Parton, because she was on their lists, but as alternates which did not get moved up.

Goddammit. For two reasons. One, because, like Mister Rogers, I’ve never seen anyone say an unkind word about her.

And two, because she was only an alternate.

This is still the closest I’ve gotten to any points in years. And I hate myself for 1) only listing her as an alternative and 2) being heartless enough to list her at all.
