Hey that's 3 now, we appear to be tied..

Good luck with getting this updated, Geoff appears to be away.

I think it would be better if SC could update this thread..

Former child actress Suzanne Crough passed away at the age of 52. She is best known for being in the Partridge Family. RIP

I agree that the original lists are due for a major updating. Hopefully, soon.


Signor V.

^^^^ I don't play in the Dead Pool, although I do read it regularly because it's very informative. Especially when the more obscure older actors and actresses who pass away and go largely unwritten about in the mainstream media (but Signor Vitelli never misses one!).

Anyway, as far as SC updating the charts, I think he may just have his hands full with the trolls and other crap on the board right now. He'll catch up .

Then he should let me or SV do it..

Ben E King: R&B legend dies at 76

http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-32547474

Another musical legend gone.

Didn't know (or didn't remember) he started out with the drifters. "Stand By Me" (oops, NOT When A Man Loves A Woman) one of the most beautiful love songs ever.


RIP Ben E. King.


TIS

(LOL at myself. Having a problem getting it together today)

Damn, sad to hear.

RIP to a great artist. He was much better as a solo artist in my opinion.

Re The Drifters: Clyde McPhatter was THE best lead singer they ever had. The end. Turnbull?

Another musical legend seems to be on his way out as well. B.B. King is in hospice care now.

All the great ones are starting to go

A lot of great talents could go in the next decade.

Brian Wilson, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Tom Waits, Stephen King, Joe Pesci, Martin Scorsese, Robbie Robertson off the top of my head are all over 65 and most of them have had various drug/alcohol/health issues.

I was gonna say Bruce Springsteen too but that guy looks like he could keep playing music into his 80's.

Zsa Zsa is going to outlive all of them

Larry David, Michael Richards, Glenn Frey, Don Henley.........

Although L.D. doesn't really eat any junk food and seems meticulous about his health and fitness so he could probably stay sharp for another 10-15 years.

B.B. King just entered a hospice. He's 89 with a lot of health issues, so he may not be with us much longer. A true legend.

Actress Grace Lee Whitney, best known as Yeoman Janice Rand in the original Star Trek TV series, died May 1 of undisclosed causes at the age of 85.

Verne Gagne, wrestling legend and promoter of the AWA passed on the 27th of April at the age of 89. RIP to a true legend.

Just reported: Blues great B.B. King died at age 89.

RIP to a legend

When I read that B.B. King was receiving "hospice care", I figured it was pretty much just a matter of time. That's how these things usually are. Very sad - he was indeed a true legend.

R.I.P.


Signor V.

Okay, sorry, I think we're caught up, please check!

RIP BB!

Nope. My pick of Roy Douglas, the British composer died at age 107 on March 23rd.

It doesn't count as a miss if you never mention it! ...I'm on it...

R.I.P. B.B.King

I picked BB King.. Seems to be updated but you have forgotten me JG,,.

No, you picked King B.B.

Not quite caught up: I predicted Anita Ekberg, and you have to cross Bess Myerson off my list because she actually died last year (though her death wasn't announced until this year).

An outfielder with San Diego and Philadephia, Ollie Brown had a fine arm and was a pretty good hitter. He's mostly remembered, though, for his classic baseball nickname, "Downtown Ollie Brown."
