Rodd Hill had Idi Amin, but there seems to be some uncertainty about how old he was:
Yup, feels good to be right about this one! One less blood-soaked dictator less…
Now come on, Augusto Pinochet!
And the less said about Carol Channing, the better…
Argh. I am going to go with the higher age (of 80), as we would have done with Virginia Heinlein when we didn’t know her age. (I’ll put this in the rules for next year’s game.) So congratulations to Rodd Hill, with 20 points!

She’d be worth -1 point, but Triumph Of The Will director Leni Riefenstahl has died at 101 just in case someone picked her as a noncompetation entry.
h.sapiens had picked her, but then switched to Robert Stack.
Nobody picked Edward Teller.
Both Johnny Cash (71) and John Ritter (54) have died…
Eric
Well that’s broken my duck (johnny Cash) and I am far from happy about it.
Man, if you predicted correctly every celebrity that has died this year, you’d have about a million points. What is with this shit?
