She was magnificent; worth seeing in whatever she did. The Quiet Man was always one of my favorites, and certainly Miracle on 34th Street (to name only two). A couple of years back, TCM's Robert Osborne interviewed her. Alas, I wish it could have gone on much longer, but even past 90, she was still full of "piss and vinegar" as the saying goes. A great interview: TCM Interview R.I.P. Signor V. I definitely concur.

And everyone had her on their lists... everyone, that is, except Geoff!  This from the guy who constantly whines that the list isn't updated? To shame the guy who updates the lists? I thought you were smarter than that.

I read only that she died in her sleep. Was she ill? I know she was 95 but if she went peacefully in her sleep??? If you gotta go, that's the way to do it. I forgot about The Parent Trap, which I saw hundreds of times when I was a kid.  I believe Brian Keith was her husband in the film. Oh, and Haley Mills (Let's Get Together).  TIS

I loved her in The Parent Trap and John Wayne movies. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are McClintock and Big Jake. I know there are more. Rio Grande. She was also with Henry Fonda in Spencer's Mountain, which is based on the same Earle Hamner writings as The Waltons (for the movie they moved the mountain to Wyoming). And she was in How Green Was My Valley.

Is everything Ok with Geoff, he hasn't been around for a while? He's so ashamed of his piss-poor showing in this year's Dead Pool that he won't show his face here.

As I see it, right now, Sr Vitelli is leading with 10. Actually, my total so far is 11 - Theodore Bikel died July 21. Signor V.

One more name to update, but not for me. Mikey_Sunset picked actress Ellen Albertini Dow.
Signor V.

SV, how do you know all these people? I must say I don't know many of them. You are well rounded on your knowledge of people who, shall we say, are possible bucket kickers.  TIS

Signor Vitelli is the devil incarnate. I thought that had been established some time ago!  Signor V.

Al Molinaro, from tv's "Happy Days", died Thursday at age 95.
His name was on many lists here. He actually turned 96 in June. RIP Both Olivia and Kirk Douglas are 3 years older than Al (Douglas 99th birthday will be in December). And, of course Zsa Zsa is around there at 98 until Feb.

Master list has been updated.
OK, it's that time of year when the chill is in the air. The nights are getting longer and colder. The landscape is barren and soon the snow will fall. It all means that Dead Pool Day is getting close again. Bwaahahhhaaahhhaaaa......
Two months to go before the new year and a new game. It appears we have a core group of players and I assume most will wanna try their luck again next year. We'll probably be seeing many of the same predictions on our lists, so, in an attempt to make it a little more challenging I propose some sort of rule change.
How would it be if we gave "points" that reflected the age of the decedent? We could all load our lists with people oevr the age of 90 but what fun is that? What if we gave more "points" for younger deaths? For instance, a decedent over the age of 100 would be worth one point, someone in their 90s could be worth two, someone in their 80s worth three, and so on. Thus, we'd be scored on the number of our picks (as we presently do) AND on the number of age-related points.
Just something to think about. What say ye?

I like the idea - otherwise you could load up on the world's oldest people and probably do OK.
