What elderly celebrity will you miss most when he or she dies?

[Sampiro]

Another vote for Carol Burnett. She’s a comedy goddess.

Is this a whoosh or did you not know he died in January?

I’m sure you were whooshed. People Magazine mistakenly printed Vigoda’s obituary in the 80s and it’s been a running joke ever since. There’s even a website called “Is Abe Vigoda Dead?”

Yes.

I think once the man really died, it’s time to drop the joke.

Sorry, should have checked with you first.

Maggie Smith

Agreed about Stephen King and Harrison Ford.

Stephen King will hurt the most. I’ve consistently consumed everything he’s written since what feels like I could begin to read.

Well, at least now you know for next time.

Anita Gillette
Valerie Harper
Judy Collins
Liza Minnelli

ETA: ditto Helen Mirren and Maggie Smith

John Mahoney and Sam Waterston. Frasier and Law and Order are like comfort viewing for me. I could watch reruns all day, and it won’t be the same once they’re gone.

ditto Sam Waterston. Also, Angela Lansbury. She and Olivia de Haviland, I think, are the last links to Hollywood’s Golden Age.
