Recently Elaine Stritch died. Her co-star in the UK series Two’s Company, Donald Sinden, has just died also, at age 90.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his co-star from Never The Twain, Windsor Davies, was next on the list. Stalwarts all.
Ian Paisley is no more.
Regards,
Shodan

Heh. That would be a good username for a Straight Dope moderator.
They always seem to come in 3s.
Not only stalwarts - also old as dirt. Davies just turned 16 points old so he’s probably a good bet for next year’s pool.
I think I had him. I certainly intended to put him on my list.
You and Premislaus had Paisley.

Tied for 80th place now. YAY!
Bob Crewe, Singer and Four Seasons Songwriter, Dead at 18 Points
Me too! Me too!
Perhaps not. 79th place may still be a tie for all the virgins, unless somehow PaulParkhead has accomplished the unique feat of being alone in 77th place while at the same time being in a tie for 68th place.
I hate to grumble, but shouldn’t I be more like 18-2-1 now? I got Pete Seeger and Ian Paisley.
I have many talents. Indeed, I can be in two places at once.
Baker has a thread in MPSIMS about her father dying in a motorcycle accident yesterday. Here’s the thread. Please keep her, her mom, dad, and her family in your thoughts, prayers, etc.
Joe Sample, a jazz pianist who had a successful solo career and also performed with numerous high-profile musicians, died Friday in Houston. He was 75.
ormer World Series star Frank Torre, who helped put little brother Joe on a path that led to the Hall of Fame, has died. He was 82.
The Major League Baseball commissioner’s office said Torre died Saturday at a hospice in Palm Beach, Florida. He had previously received heart and kidney transplants, and had been ill in recent years with cancer.
One of my picks (Kim Kyong-Hui) has been rumored to be dead since January or so of this year.
What was I thinking, picking a North Korean for my list! Impossible to collect on, even if she IS dead!
Paul Parkhead, sorry for the mixup.
