Nasquacker 33 Posted January 8 On 03/01/2025 at 00:40, lilham said: I had Cousy on my list last year but dropped... but yeah I could see springing him back up. For what it's worth Cousy had this to say back in June prior to the NBA finals: Quote I'm 95 f---ing years old with one foot in the grave and I can barely move. I know I'm in overtime. So everything in your life becomes more meaningful. And one of the last things I want to be able to see is for the Celtics to hang up banner No. 18. And given that the banner no. 18 was, indeed, hung up a few months ago, safe to say he can die happy now whenever he/his body chooses to do so 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingbygrace 577 Posted January 9 This might be just me and not being in death pooling very long, but it seems there is a larger number of people this year then last that I have been putting on a watch list because they recently have been diagnosed with cancer, or some other grave illness. Then you have the hard decisions whether to put them on a list this year, or you think they can wait a year or two. My shadow list for instance seems to have a majority of older people with sprinkling here and there of sick people. But I might have a significant amount of sick people next year looking at my long list 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much the last person involved with both of those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LWCZ 272 Posted January 9 If he makes it to 2026, Reverend Jesse Jackson is imho a good shout. Jackson has been suffering from Parkinson's for over 7 years, is wheelchair bound (not even to mention his overall frail state), and I'm starting to think there are more underlying issues he's having, as this IG video (second slide) of his speech from around New Year's Eve and the video of Reverend Al Sharpton meeting him for a Christmas dinner could suggest. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,768 Posted January 11 Given that half of LA/surrounding area is on fire right now. A thing to do would be make a list of celebs (mainly older), who live there with houses that have burned down or had to evacuate. Especially those who already have breathing problems. Bound to be increased cases of lung cancer in the next few years because of smoke inhalation and toxic substances in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 924 Posted January 11 Just saw a clip of Jane Goodall accepting the presidential medal of freedom the other day. She looks excellent and is turning 91 this year. I'd feel comfortable saying she probably (and hopefully) has at least a few years left. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking that with regards to Robert Wagner but apparently his main home is in Colorado ? He retains a second home in California so it all depends on if he was in LA when the drama started.

TheBigBB 35 Posted Monday at 04:46 I agree with anyone saying Phil Collins. He looks terrible for his age and reminds me of my grandma when she was in her 90s. I'm also still skeptical that Joni Mitchell could possibly live much longer, but admittedly I said that many years ago, and she's still going. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,572 Posted Monday at 18:04 It's been a while since anyone suggested Roman Polanski. He turns 92 in August. Still seems to be fairly active. But has had a number of health issues over the years along with a number of legal issues. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
