Edie McClurg, known for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and playing Herb Tarlek’s wife on WKRP in Cincinnati is battling dementia and could be 2023’s version of Nichelle Nichols with her personal life. https://nypost.com/2022/08/02/ferris-bueller-actress-edie-mcclurg-a-victim-of-elder-abuse-family-claims/?sr_share=facebook&utm_source=NYPFacebook&utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&fbclid=IwAR1UqsUk_l5PFmLlM5bQlpiyB0up3vzVGVLmxmX3Psgtf5YBHX6qj8viyMs&fs=e&s=cl

Congratulations , Joey. This is in my opinion the most difficult of all the Dead Pools and requires ultimate research abilities.

Ironically my first DDP hit for my main team, although I did pick David Birney on one of my theme teams.

She was great as Doris Day’s slightly horny sister in With Six You Get Eggroll.

In case you need a DDP QO (of which there will be many) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/nichelle-nichols-star-trek-actress-dead-b2135196.html

I usually don't call them right, but I did think Nichelle Nichols was the biggest miss on this year's deathlist

He was an Olympic gold medalist which makes me surprised none of us picked him in the Scavanger Hunt game.

Do animated series count?

Win Remmerswaal, who pitched for the Boston Red Sox in 1979-1980, dead at 68. List of the Missed on DDP for my Rolls Off The Tongue team in 2021. I deliberately took him off as I thought there was no way he’d get UK obit. https://www.archysport.com/2022/07/goodbye-winnie-baseball-it/

I most remember Warner from the Steve Martin film The Man With Two Brains.

Hit for me in alt.obits deadpool

This sitcom character was also named John Hemingway.

Vernon Winfrey, a former city councilor in Nashville has died. He is survived by a little known daughter named Oprah. https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/09/entertainment/oprah-winfrey-father-vernon-dead-trnd/index.html

I always wondered why he and not Zero Mostel, played Tevye in the movie version of Fiddler On The Roof.

The Independent counts, right? https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/larry-storch-death-age-cause-f-troop-b2119037.html?amp

Decided to go through my list and as suspected Jerry Tolve died somewhat off radar in February with no apparent UK obit. https://www.theobserver.com/2022/02/08/in-memoriam-nutleys-gerard-jerry-tolve-1962-2022/

Great lists @gcreptile. I’m not sure I’d consider Tom Ridge a minor name though. He was a former 2 term governor of Pennsylvania and the first Director of Homeland Security after 9/11
