Harve Bennett, who wrote for and produced four Star Trek films, has died. He was 84.
Although it isn’t confirmed yet, the search for Marvel comics artist Norman Lee, 47, has been halted after Lee disappeared while snorkeling.
Sam Simon has died at 41 points.
My first points
You and 46 others had him, according to our DeathMistress.
ETA: Looks like it won’t change the top of the leader board.
And I just lost my seasonal virginity in a group event…
I had him, too.
dammit
But, points is points, even shared with Vunderboob. :dubious:
Bob.
Vunderbob.
I had him, too, and after having 2 great years, I had no points last year. This is my first score in 14 months or so.
Congratulations.
Google watch hasn’t told me about him yet.
What do you guys use to track deaths?
It showed up in my Facebook feed, from TMZ
Meanwhile all my picks have signed up for free fall skydiving lessons while wearing 50 lb. ankle weights since, ya know, they are all immortal.
I use this thread, mainly. I also keep all my old Celebrity Death Lists going back to 2003. For those who share my curiosity, my death list from 2003 was:
- Pope John Paul II - NOW DEAD
- Warren Zevon - NOW DEAD
- Michael Jackson - NOW DEAD
- Ronald Reagan - NOW DEAD
- Gerald Ford - NOW DEAD
- Madonna - ALIVE
- Luciano Pavarotti - NOW DEAD
- Jerry Lewis - ALIVE
- Eli Wallach - NOW DEAD
- Christopher Lee - Alive
- Britney Spears - Alive
- Larry King - Alive
- Michelle Tractenburg - Alive
As you can see, I took bigger risks for points as the list went on(except Wallach).
A Life Insurance Company you should start, already.
Fellow Dopers, I only have a minute checking in here. I will do my best to post the new scores by tomorrow.
We can be patient, Baker. We know you have a lot going on.
Besides, we have (some of us) learned patience waiting for our IMMORTAL choices to DIE ALREADY!
I got points for Sam Simon too.
Almost forgotten from a few weeks back, and now the tributes are showing up, animator Jeff Hale passed away.
You know him already if you remember Sesame Street’s song about the number 12 pinball machine (1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10, 11 tweeeeelve!) the typewriter guy and many other animations made for the show.
Jeff Hale, 'Sesame Street' and 'Thank You Mask Man' Animator, RIP
Link also goes to the controversial “Thank you Masked Man” that he did with Lenny Bruce.
To paraphrase Mal Reynolds, who in the damn galaxy didn’t?

Miller High Life guy dies at 64 points.
