The Celebrity Death Pool 2006

Damn, the wrong Kennedy lady died. I picked Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Joan Kennedy.

Anybody want to double down on Fidel or Tammy Fae Bakker? Less than ninety days left in the game and one of these two has just got to score.

I’ll take both, since they are on my list.

He also had a run as the coroner on “Hill Street Blues.”

I had the same thoughts when he was on “Hill Street.”

I’ve got Castro on my list. And since he’s too sick to attend his own anti-American pow-wow, I have hope that he might give me a few more points soon.

Less than 90? As of today, 105 days by my count. Still plenty of time for some of these geezers to croak (god I hope. I only got the Lou Rawls bandwagon points)!!

I get 'em both…

Former Governor of Massachusetts Edward J. King

Former Swedish Foreign Minister Sten Andersson

Mr. Universe of 1955 Mickey Hargitay

False alarm on Liz Taylor. Damned cutesy headlines… :mad: :wink:

Blast it! First, the wrong Kennedy gal takes a powder (I too had Eunice and Joan on my list, Bibliocat. I’ve also got Tammy Faye, as well as Liz Taylor. I won’t even mention my other hopeful … might jinx them. Heh.

Curse you, VunderBob, I was hoping for a major celebrity kicking the can.
Gotta say that Liz disappoints in not wearing the diamonds.

yeah - I mean if she can throw 'em away on a poker game, why can’t she share them with the sharks?

Patrick Wilson Executive Director of Actors Equity, founder of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and very all around nice guy, dead very suddenly at age 55.

That’s Patrick Quinn. Sheesh, I’m so upset by this I can’t type his name right!

Broadcasting Pioneer Ralph Story dead at age 86.

Edward Albert, an actor who appeared in such films as Buttterflies Are Free and Guarding Tess, has passed away at the age of 55. Albert also gained some fame as an environmental and human-rights activist, following in the footsteps of father Eddie (Green Acres’ Oliver Wendell Douglas), who died last year after being cared for by Edward for ten years.

Also, Iva Toguri D’Aquino has passed away at the age of 90. She had been convicted of being one of the women collectively dubbed “Tokyo Rose” for Japanese radio broadcasts directed to American soldiers during World War II, but was eventually pardoned by then-President of the United States Gerald Ford after he became convinced that the implicating testimony and other evidence were tainted.

My Death Pool Drought has ended… thanks to “Tokyo Rose” and “Lord Byron”. Maybe my luck is changing.

Theirs too.

So even though I have no stake in this, since I registered just this last January, I must submit this death: Mohammad Ali. But this is not the boxer, it’s an actor. How does that play out?
