And one more for Astroboy14: Who is Akira Fubuki? Akira is generally a man’s name. I found one actress named Akira on the IMDB: Akira Kiuchi, who appeared in a 1991 Japanese TV series. Or maybe you mean Jun Fubuki (born Reiko Horikawa in 1952) an actress who appeared in a number of movies in the 1990’s.
- Pope John Paul II (whom I love BTW, but since the Jubilee year’s over…)
- Ronald Reagan (now that’ll be a celebrity-packed funeral)
- Andy Dick (he claims he’s All Clean and Sober Now!! Uh-oh.)
- Jane Wyatt (this classy lady has apparently had some strokes)
- Boris Yeltsin (hey, he’s still nearly forty points)
- Darryl Strawberry (sad, this one)
- Liza Minelli (it all just seems to be getting too much for the poor dear)
- Robert Downey, Jr. (see #6)
- Leonardo DiCaprio (the River Phoenix of 2001? Not so much the drugs thing, the party animal thing; picks a fight with the wrong person, drives while a little too buzzed, etc.)
- Katherine Hepburn (My grandmother had Parkinson’s like that and her heart just gave up)
- Yasser Arafat (and it will happen at the worst time for peace, because that always seems to happen over there)
- Dick Cheney (Condy Rice for VP?)
- Slobodan Milosevic (gets assassinated; go directly to Hell, Slobo, do not pass GO, do not collect $200)
A few notes:
As for Abe Vigoda, he will never die. BTW, for no particular reason he’s the Patron Saint of the Usenet newsgroup alt.showbiz.gossip. Nobody disses Abe over there without getting bitch-slapped by some of the sharpest wits in cyberspace.
Ha ha ha, Tevya can’t count! 
Jimmy Doohan is 80 but he had a new baby last year or so. Still firing on all cylinders. I think Jane Wyatt’s our ST-related celeb next year, and I’ll miss her.
Is everyone so sure Keith Richards is alive? 
**Puglovr, ** I saw Julia Child in the Broadway supermarket (Cambridge, Mass) last week, she looks fine! Man, is she tall.
Little Nemo, thanks for this morbid thread. We can laugh at Death because we know it’ll always have the last laugh on us. Except for Abe Vigoda.
Ooops! I only picked 10…here are the others–
- Nancy Reagan
- Don Rickles
- Shelley Winters
1-Ronald Reagan
2-Pope John Paul II
3-Bob Hope
4-Andy Rooney
5-Robert Downey Jr.
6-Maria Shriver
7-Chief Justice Rehnquist
8-Lady Bird Johnson
9-Rush Limbaugh
10-Fidel Castro
11-Janet Reno
12-Luciano Pavarotti

This is so twisted…
- Nolan Ryan
- Troy Aikman
- Cher
- Britney Spears
- Calista Flockhart
- Paul Newman
- Dick Van Dyke
- Perry Como
- Elizabeth Taylor
- Dennis Rodman
- Dubya
- Prince Charles
- Yasser Arafat
I just wanted to let all of you degenerates know right now that this is sick, twisted, and disrespectful. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Here’s my picks:
OL’ DIRTY BASTARD
SADDAM HUSSEIN
GERALD FORD
SCOTT HALL
DUFF
ANDY DICK
SCOTT WEILAND
AL “GRANDPA” LEWIS
ART LINKLETTER
REV. BILLY GRAHAM
LADY BIRD JOHNSON
GARY COLEMAN
JOHNNY CARSON
Should my picks be rejected or expire by Dec 31, my three alternates, in order are:
- MILTON BERLE
- IKE TURNER
- PRESIDENT VICENTE FOX OF MEXICO
DeForrest Kelley has most assuredly passed on. However, Glenn Ford is still around, to the best of my knowledge (Dead People Server and IMDB.com confirms this). However, the press has reported him as being on his death bed several times, which may explain the confusion.
Ok, I’ve been avoiding playing this game since it feels…weird. However, it’s also oddly fascinating, so here goes…
- Buddy Ebsen
- Bernard Fox (Bewitched)
- Harvey Korman
- John Goodman
- Gene Wilder (sadly, cancer)
- Richard Pryor
- James Best (Dukes of Hazzard)
- Art Carney
- Isabel Sanford
- Dick Martin (Laugh-in)
- Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster)
- Glenn Ford (well, he has been on his death bed for the past decade)
- Stephen Hawking
Here are mine. I think all of them are currently alive. Someone let me know if I’m wrong.
- Ronald Reagan
- Adam Sandler
- Marlon Brando
- Robert Downey Jr.
- Ted Kennedy
- Johnny Cash
- George Jones
- Bob Barker
- Art Buchwald
- Rue McClanahan
- Scott Baio
- Dudley Moore
- Arnold Palmer

Ronald Reagan - 38
Robert Downey Jr. - 32
Pope John Paul II - 23
Dudley Moore - 20
Dick Cheney - 16
Boris Yeltsin - 16
Gerald Ford - 14
Mohammad Ali - 13
Katharine Hepburn - 13
Darryl Strawberry - 13
Kirk Douglas - 12
Michael J. Fox - 11
Bob Hope - 11
John Goodman - 10
Richard Pryor - 9
Keith Richards - 9
Elizabeth Taylor - 9
Yassir Arafat - 8
Johnny Carson - 8
Ted Kennedy - 8
Walter Cronkite - 7
George W. Bush - 6
Andy Dick - 6
Annette Funicello - 6
Liza Minnelli - 6
Paul Newman - 6
Strom Thurmond - 6
Dan Aykroyd - 5
Johnny Cash - 5
Calista Flockhart - 5
Stephen Hawking - 5
Jesse Helms - 5
Adam Sandler - 5
Ted Williams - 5
You can compare with the 2000 votes:
Ronald Reagan - 17
Bob Hope - 14
Pope John Paul II - 12
Boris Yeltsin - 9
Mohammad Ali - 7
Elizabeth, the Queen Mother - 6
Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs - 5
Andy Dick - 5
Katherine Hepburn - 5
Elizabeth Taylor - 5
Gerald Ford - 4
Stephen Hawking - 4
Richard Pryor - 4
Milton Berle - 3
Calvin “Snoop Dog” Broadus - 3
Johnny Cash - 3
Fidel Castro - 3
Dick Clark - 3
Robert Downey Jr - 3
Queen Elizabeth II - 3
Annette Funicello - 3
Ervin “Magic” Johnson - 3
Keith Richards - 3
Strom Thurmond - 3
Scott Weiland - 3
Reagan held his top spot. Bob Hope made a surprising drop, receiving fewer votes than he had last year in a much wider field. Robert Downey Jr was a big grower coming up from only 3 votes last year. Dick Cheney made the highest debut in the 2001 votes and Queen Elizabeth II was the highest vote getter of 2000 who was absent from the 2001 list. Trivia fans might notice that four different Supreme Court justices each got a single vote this year. And finally, I’ll point out that not one of the twenty five top celebrities from 2000 died this year.
Having finished with the silver medal last year I feel pressure…
My picks are:
Dick Cheney
Dudley Moore
John Paul II
Andy Dick
Bin Laden
Robert Downey JR
Bob Hope
Boris Yeltsen
Ronald Reagan
Nancy Reagan
Paul Tracy
Scott Weidlan
Prince Phillip
Well that makes me feel a bit less morally bankrupt about all this. Just a bit though.
The people on my list may or may not be dead. Been a long time since I’ve heard about them.
Phyllis Diller
Red Buttons
Charly Weaver
Les Paul
- Princess Margaret
- Magic Johnson
- John Goodman
- Charlie Sheen
- Deanna Durbin
- Liza Minelli
- Marilyn Manson
- Richard Pryor
- Duff (ex of Guns N’ Roses)
- Jerry Lewis
- Stephen Spielberg
- Sean Connery
- Daniel Day Lewis
And to all the people on my list - I’m really, terribly sorry, and I hope I lose. Except Marilyn Manson. I don’t care what happens to him.
NEMO . . .
Just as clarification, the Duff that I chose is the former MTV Veejay turned model, I don’t have her last name (boy, this IS sick. I feel dirty just typing this), and NOT the guy who used to be with Guns n’ Roses.
By the way, God Bless Roy Walston. One of my favorite all time actors.
Vinnie, I had already assumed you meant Karen Duffy. Actually until cazzle mentioned him, I had forgotten about musician Michael “Duff” McKagan. On the other hand, both are probably good picks.
Little Nemo,
Akira Fubuki, picked by Astroboy14, is a Japanese nude model/porn actress (Akira can be a male or female name). I have about 10MB of pictures on my hard drive to prove she is very real. In any case, unless she caught something on the set of one of her videos, she’s a long shot: Born March 13, 1978.
–sublight.
This is now closed to new entries and clarifications, right?
So, cazzle’s don’t count?
If so, I’d like to change one of mine to Ray Walston.
Drat! I was hoping someone would overlook that fact… I only just joined the board a few days back. 
Sorry - let me know if I was too late getting my entries in.
Akira’s a nude model and porn actress, you say? Well, I’m tentatively willing to accept your claims but you better forward all 10MB of those files to me for verification.
As for invoking the deadline, I’ll admit I was pretty lax last year. I ended up accepting new lists into March. I’ll defer to the will of the majority. Should we continue to allow new lists within reason (and allow those who have blank spots on theirs to complete them)? Or should we enforce the Jan 1st deadline and close the door to all picks since then?
