The husband of author Judith Viorst, Milton Viorst (also a writer), died in December due to COVID. I couldn't find this posted elsewhere on the forum. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/17/us/milton-viorst-dead.html

I would love to solve the mystery as to the identities of the secret Deathlist Council, lol!

The report is quoting RadarOnline though, so maybe best taken with a grain of salt.

Loved it! No Bob Saget, but I guess that makes sense. I also thought they should have shown a clip of Aladdin for Gilbert Gottfried. But otherwise, I was satisfied with it.

He's approaching 92 actually

One of the most shocking deaths this year, to me

Leslie Phillips is a hit for a few of us here.

@Dying Probably Leslie Phillips is a hit for @ThereWillBeDeaths7.
