Celebrity Death Pool 2014

Reality TV? How I wish for the return of ignorance.

That would mean my current list. I have never picked someone for a list that I hoped did die, the worst I have felt is “I won’t miss them when they’re gone.” The vast majority have been people whose deaths would bum me out.

I assume you mean the wrestler, and not the Christian rock bassist?

Kirk Douglas
Al Molinaro
Maureen O’Hara
Abe Vigoda
Betty White
Stan Lee
Richard Attenborough

Lauren Bacall
Hal Holbrook
