He's still alive. FIve blues riffs and he's still alive.

BB is still alive. They hit'm with 5 shots (of insulin), and he's still alive...

King is alive, much to klydon's chagrin.

How about the '09 list?

LOL DT! Great minds...

I figured if I guessed people who died in '05 I might have a better shot.

When I read the Bo Diddley post earlier, I immediately thought of B.B. King. I had him dying by March.

RIP Bo.

Young George Bailey has died.

RIP!!!!

Wonderful Life' actor Bob Anderson dies at 75

LOS ANGELES — Bob Anderson, who played the young George Bailey in the Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life," has died. He was 75.

Anderson died Friday of cancer at his home in Palm Springs, his wife, Victoria, said Saturday.

Robert J. Anderson grew up in a Hollywood family. His father, Gene, was an assistant director and later a production manager. His uncles were directors William Beaudine and James Flood, and his brothers and cousins were editors and production managers.

Anderson was introduced to films when relatives arranged for him to appear in a movie scene that called for a baby, his wife said.

He was 7 when he appeared in the 1940 Shirley Temple film "Young People" and went on to play roles in such films as 1945's "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."

But he was best known for his role as the young Bailey in Frank Capra's 1946 "It's a Wonderful Life," the same character portrayed in adulthood by James Stewart. In one scene, the story called for him to spot a potentially fatal error made by a drunken druggist, played by H.B. Warner.

Warner took the role seriously and on the day of shooting had been drinking and was "pretty ripe," Victoria Anderson said. The scene called for Warner's character to slap the boy.

Anderson told the Los Angeles Times in 1996 that the scene and its rehearsals were painful.

"He actually bloodied my ear," Anderson told the paper. "My ear was beat up and my face was red, and I was in tears."

"At the end when it was all over, he (Warner) was very lovable. He grabbed me and hugged me, and he meant it," Anderson said.

Anderson enlisted in the Navy during the Korean War, serving as a photographer on aircraft carriers, his wife said.

After the war, he spent four decades in the movie industry. From the 1950s through the 1990s he worked steadily, rising from second assistant director to production manager for movies and TV shows, his wife said.

Henry Allingham will die this year, he is over 105 now!!

I don't know who that is. But wow, 105.



TIS

"Hot Dog!!!"

RIP

"Buffalo gals won't ya come out tonight."

Did you think the IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE quote would escape my attention, Klyd?

Mary is a ho!

Mary . . . ooooh . . . Mary

He's actually 112. Henry Allingham

"Must you torture the children"?

Yes, there's so freaking many of them.

Nothing gets by you, and I'm grateful for it. By saying, "Hot Dog!" in response to a man's death, I didn't want to give the impression that I would "relish" another's misfortune.

What about Albert "Chinky" Facchiano. He is 96 - Genovese Soldier who racketeers in Florida. His Capo is Renaldi "Ray" Ruggerio, 76.

I just put a £3000 ($5900) bet on the death of Jimmy Carter this year.
If I win, I double my money!

Why would you do that?

Morality aside, I haven't even heard that he's ill.

He was born in 1924. Some celebrities have died just through old age.

And if you're wrong, you lose £3000!

Don't worry its not my money!

I officially want out of this "game". I put Paul Newman on my list thinking he seemed ill. But now that I've read this thread (Paul Newman gives $120M fortune to charity) I've decided I don't want to be a part of this game anymore. I don't want to "score a point" because I was smart enough to see he was looking extra frail. I've always loved his acting and I can't be happy about him being sick and possibly dying.

I sincerely want out of this game.

He's on my list too. I sincerely hope that's one point I don't get.

If I win my bet on Jimmy Carters death in this year, I'll give the £3000 profit to the Mods. Seriously.

Better yet, how about the gift of silence??
