Celebrity Death Pool 2019

Cause of death to be announced later. If there is any justice in this universe, he would have died of the flu.

Gert Boyle, President of Columbia Sportswear and World’s Toughest Mom-95.

For searching purposes, the link refers to astrologer Walter Mercado

Gert Boyle, former president and CEO of Columbia Sportswear company (and board chairperson until her death) who was the first woman to run a sportswear company.

Happy birthday Norman Lloyd at 105.

Now he’s just taunting us.

Well, like you said a couple years ago,

:smiley:

Robert Freeman, best known for photographing Beatles’ album covers, dead at 82.

On another board I have a list of all really old people. Mr. Lloyd tops my list. Two of my picks have had the grace to finally give me some points.

Norman Lloyd
Olivia de Havilland
Kirk Douglas
Vera Lynn
Earl Cameron
Marsha Hunt
Nehemiah Persoff
Lewis Gilbert
Carol Channing
Betty White
Bill Macy
Janis Paige
Dilip Kumar

I don’t remember Vera Lynn, or how she said that we would meet again, some sunny day.

William Wintersole, best known for playing Mitchell Sherman on The Young and the Restless for twenty+ years has died at 88.

We should have a reverse Death Pool - you get points for however much older they are than a hundred. :smiley:

Yes, the youngest on that list is a month away from his 97th birthday.

You left out Beverly Cleary, a children’s author whose books I read in elementary school! Still alive at 103 1/2.

Charles Levin, possibly best known as Vera’s husband on the series Alice. Before clicking the link, note the url: you might not want to read about what was missing.

I think I’ve mentioned this quote from George Burns (after he was 100):

Great minds think alike. Here are my entries this year.

Or just change the rules of this one to allow for that. Although I guess it would mean no points if they are exactly 100. :confused:

Broadway actress Laurel Griggs has died at 13.

Former Detroit Lions WR Charles Rogers has died at 38

OK, just don’t call it The Celebrity Life Pool. That sounds like something Gwynneth Paltrow is trying to promote.

Folks, don’t forget, it’s less than three weeks until the 2020 DeathPool Thread starts. Got your lists in order?:smiley:
