Shecky Greene, Legendary Las Vegas Headliner, Dies at 97 (yahoo.com)

Carter is doomed. Even @diego picked him.

I remember in another defunct dead pool I used to play in, the opposite happened. Helen Suzman who was a South African anti-apartheid politician died on January 1, Johannesburg time. The person running that pool counted it as a December 31 death.

I anticipated more Indian and Russian frequent hospitalization picks.

Kurtis "Mad Kurt" Chapman dead. Only 26 Kurtis 'Mad Kurt' Chapman passes away at 26 (msn.com)

Only 3 more hits to 200 in this pool.

Only if they produce the same effect as an enema.

Where’s the update for Norman Lear?

I saw him in concert in 2022 and he looked in rough shape. No wheelchair but he was using a walker.

Kamar de los Reyes, dead at 56. He only had "One Life to Live" Kamar de los Reyes, who played “One Life to Live'”s“ ”Antonio Vega, dies at 56 (msn.com)

The most likely one to be dropped from 2024 Deathlist.

If he dies today, he would join Gerald Ford and Harry Truman for same date of death. This would match the current leading date of death for US presidents, which is ironically, July 4 (John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe)

My picks: 1. Jimmy Carter 2. Noam Chomsky 3. Joanne Woodward 4. Jeanette Lee 5. Derek Draper 6. Peter Marshall 7. Frank Field 8. James Whale 9. Gordon Brown 10. Peter Criss Subs: 1. Sonny Rollins 2. Gene Hackman

These Carters are making up for Jimmy Carter.

Independent has an obit too: https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/robert-solow-nobel-economist-dead-b2468236.html

Drag racing legend Don Schumacher, dead at 79 https://www.autoweek.com/racing/nhra/a46198893/nhra-drag-racing-legend-don-schumacher-dies-at-79/

Also, no Chris Stone, who would be my vote for Most Surprising List of the Lost. Tom Sizemore would be my vote for Most Surprising List of the Missed.

Same age as me but he’s had a tougher go of it.

I mentioned Fred (Chicken) Stanley a while back as a possibility for the last surviving Seattle Pilots player due to his age.

Most notable one would be Ed Kranepool

Is it me or does Tony Bennett look very short here?

Marion Ross looks great for 95. Here she is with her Happy Days co-star Anson "Potsie" Williams

Didn't make the starting line
