I remember Conrad in black sheep squadron and battle of the network stars. Believe he, Gabe Kaplan and Telly savalas were the 3 captains.

Congrats if you picked Kirk Douglas. You lose pts since he was 103

I am just happy I got one right.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she's 90+ since my folks are in their mid 80's, but damn, still seemed off when I first read it.

So another former co-host of the View knew Walters isn’t doing well, shared that with Jenny McCarthy, who then decided to report that on her show? Shady move by Jenny.

RIP Orson Bean (91) - run over & killed by a car while walking in his Venice Beach neighborhood.

LOL...

[HenryJames 65884]

Anyone have Clayton Williams?

[Vito Andolini 9098]

Wow, he was only 88? He seemed 70 thirty years ago. If death is inevitable...

”Claydesta” was a welcome oasis in West Texas back when I had to call it home for a year in the early 80’s. 

[Player 4575]

When it’s your turn to take a dirt nap, you may as well lay back, relax and enjoy it.

She's got her motives, Barbara didn't back her when she was on the show, got kicked off by the flaky bitches

[woohorn 1131]

20 y.o. (aspiring?) rapper Pop Smoke was just killed and it raised a few questions :

Something like this is 80 pts. Most of ya'll have a bunch of Olds in your picks. How many points usu "wins" these things?

How famous do you have to be (would Pop or Kobe's kid have counted as a celebrity)?
 

 

[Player 4575]

I don't really know how many points it takes to win the contest, but if even one name on my list kicks the bucket then we will all be winners. 

[Prepuce of Doom 20982]

I think the general rule of thumb is that the person needed to have an actual Wikipedia page before their death. 

[RPM 26209]

James Lipton makes the list at 93.

[Mrs Whiggins 13049]

Ming the Merciless has passed away at age 90.

 

[mulletpelini 5209]

Coronavirus ain't fucking around

[Fudge Nuggets 19144]

Anybody got the stock market in their pool?

[RPM 26209]

Max Von Sydow was a great actor. He made an HBO movie in '95 called Citizen X with Donald Sutherland about detectives on the trail of a serial killer in Soviet Russia. Fantastic movie.

[Parliament 14121]

I gotta check that one out.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21781]

Yes, It was very good.

[Underdog 28443]

Donald Suthrland is also great in it.  

[RomaVicta 29769]

Von Sydow hurts. Great actor and presence.

In Hannah and Her Sisters get gives a monologue about TV that is brilliant. It's Woody Allen at his best but delivered by Von Sydow's profound, deep voice.

Finally lost the chess game. RIP

Might be an overreaction to the last 24 hours, but feel like this thread may have more activity than anticipated.

No one picked Tom Hanks?

That would have been a 100 to 1 bet 2 months ago. Still think it's a longshot, but the odds are dropping.

Worth 8,000 points if you do.

Lyle made more money renting trailers than he ever did acting. Always have a Plan B.

[Vito Andolini 9098]

Actor Stuart Whitman has also died. He was 92.

Fear of karma keeps me from participating in this thread, but I just saw a sportswriter turned broadcaster with a serious illness history on an ESPN NFL show, and he didn’t look good.

Chris Berman?

[Vito Andolini 9098]

Rhymes with “Bris Fortenshin” 

[Underdog 28443]

Owen Wilson?

 

[Wally Fairway 5518]

RIP - Al Worden - Apollo 15 command module pilot
 

[Prepuce of Doom 20982]

I feel like maybe we should hold a new and separate "Coronavirus Only" pool. Maybe allow submissions through 12:01am Central on Saturday (so the next day and a half are for entries? Or have the deadline a day later for maximum visibility?) and the mini-season ends in two months? Say on Memorial Day? 

Anyone else interested? 

[Jkwellborn 6651]

I don’t think any famous people are going to die from Covid19

[RPM 26209]

Can I get a late substitution?

Andy Cohen says he's been diagnosed with coronavirus

You don’t think 20 years of cigarettes and cocaine count as an underlying condition?

 there's a lot of elderly Hollywood royalty...Nicholson, Streep, Redford etc etc... but they probably have the means and resources to stay extra healthy as well as safely secluded and top rate medical care. they probably have pretty good odds. like Magic having the cure for HIV.

[Vito Andolini 9098]

Kenny Rogers, folds ‘em at 81.

[DCA_HORN 725]

Kenny Rogers, folds ‘em at 81.

Willie is the last one left. Glad I saw him at the rodeo before this virus hit. Houston's biggest star.

Kenny was too old to walk away or run.  RIP Gambler

This is why I don’t think anyone like that is gonna die.

[Mrs Whiggins 13049]

Loretta Lynn is getting up there, but I suspect she is more like Willie than Kenny and will live forever.

I think Kris Kristofferson goes next, before Willie.

[hundredTT 576]

Kenny Rogers being only 81 is the biggest shocker. Sad news though.
