**Paul Shrader** He is so creepy and consistantly non-funny, yet he has a big time hollywood gig.  
**Andy Dick** the celebrity whose celebrity is mystifying and he won’t ever go away.

**Jennifer Lopez** and **Ben Affleck** were the perfect UnDead Celebrity couple until they broke up.

Brooke Shields is on Letterman at the moment and she looks no different than she did when she had her TV series.

**Don Rickles** has been 50 years old for a few decades now, by my reckoning.

Donnie Osmond. I know that he’s a devout Mormon and thus clean living, but he hasn’t aged in more than 20 years. (His sister has, but then having 6 [or however many] children would have taken a greater toll on her body than Donnie having 6 children.)

Oh, and the ultimate in talentless and unaging- John Davidson. (Why was this guy famous to begin with?)

David Spade. The guy is **forty** and plays a college student on 8 Simple Rules. No argument with the “no talent” part.

There must be a special undead ceremony for soap stars. Some of the above (Stamos, Moore, Hasselhoff) started on soaps, and the list of people on soaps who have no talent and do not age is astonishing–Susan Lucci (Erika Kane) and Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) for starters. How do you play a role for 20 years and look the same as when you started? Cause you are undead.

John Schneider. Between Smallville and Dukes of Hazzard, he hasn’t aged a day. As for James Marsters, what better cover for a vampire, than to play a vampire on TV?

**James Spader**  
**Pat Morita** (Karate Kid Sensei, and a regular on ‘Happy Days’ in the 70’s)

[Here’s a photo of **Sophia Loren**](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1673/Events/1673/SophiaLore_Pimen_635728_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Loren,%20Sophia) in 2002, when she would’ve been 68.  
Why does having talent preclude one from being undead?
