Not that I’m greedy for the points, but is Warren Zevon still alive? Last December, he was so ill many people thought he wouldn’t see the new year. Now it’s six months later and an online search reveals no obituaries. The SDMB Celebrity Death Pool: the ultimate life support system when all else is hopeless. ---

Well, heck: everybody picked Sharon Osbourne, and she promptly went into remission. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) ---

Gregory Peck? Dangit! I can’t believe I didn’t put him! Uh, I mean, what a great actor and a tragic loss… 🙂 ---

Woo hoo! Um, I mean, shit! As much as I love Peck, I’m surprised to actually get points. I’m saddened. As you might guess from my handle, I loved him in To Kill a Mockingbird. ---
