Celebrity Death Pool 2017

And Ventura was good friends with Oscar Tavares, the Cardinals player who died in a car accident a few years ago.

“'Allo 'Allo” star Gordon Kaye dies at 75

That is what the English policeman said when he saw two dead bodies.

Just to be absolutely clear, it was “Gorden”.

“Born in Huddersfield, Kaye revealed in his autobiography the unusual spelling of his first name was due to a spelling error by the acting union Equity, which he decided to adopt.”

Gorden Kaye famously cheated death once already when his brain was speared by a piece of wood, getting to live on to 75 is quite an achievement after that.

We missed one: famed operatic soprano Roberta Peters, on the 18th.

Not in this year. Have been working 10 pm to 6:30 am since late August and it has been difficult even knowing what day it is. Worked 8 straight from Dec 26 to Jan 02/03. Good job that I will retire at (Post Office) but currently low person in seniority.

had i been in, I would have had the now dead Miguel Ferrer and a bunch of younger people that probably would have been unique.

Well, CAMJAY77, your unique picks have always been interesting, but it might be fun to see someone else win for a change! We’ll miss you though.

Yes, you ought to post your list, even though it won’t be included. Then we can see how you would have done. I’m impresses with the Miguel Ferrer choice.

TMZ reporting that Mary Tyler Moore is in “grave condition” at a Connecticut hospital. FWIW.

Well, she would be worth 20 points to me!

I think you’re in luck! I mean…I’m seeing reports now that she has died.

‘A little song, a little dance
A little seltzer down your pants.’

RIP Chuckles the Clown

She’s gone.

Well, I’m glad to have points but I’m sorry she’s gone.

I’ve got the entire cast of the MTM Show, but I never thought she’d be the next to go. RIP.

Score update to come tomorrow.

As a parent of a Type-1 Diabetic, I’m of two minds of this (beyond the “sucks that another human died”, of course).

Moore was huge in the T1D community. She’s done a massive amount of good, both from a fundraising and awareness standpoint. She was a fantastic International Chairman for the JDRF.

However, as someone doesn’t go a week without reading a story about yet another 14-year-old who dies because of T1D, it’s heartening to see someone who lived a lifetime with this disease and managed quite well with it.

18 People had MTM… Here are the current rankings as per the Scorekeeper:
