Valerie Harper "feeling good" at Kentucky Derby. She looks good in the picture and has supposedly gained 7 pounds.

Angelina Jolie being open about double mastectomy (because of 87% chance of breast cancer). Still high risk for ovarian cancer; but obviously being monitored, so likely to tease us rather than deliver.

 

Brad'll be feeling very low down from now on!

Great opportunity for Brad to dump her...eventually. Can't be her to dump him or else it'll be the end for mainstream men as we know it although at least there's a good get-out clause should it happen...

Was going to consider Mary Carlisle (102 next Feb) for 2014 but she looks like she may last out for another few years going by this video >

Maureen O'Hara made her self-described final public appearance in May. The article also makes mention of the fact that she's living near her family and has access to 24-hour care if needed.

Here's my take on the stars from the list:

 

Luise Rainer: At 103, she's super old and in a 2011 clip, she was in a wheelchair. I think she will die this year, unfortunately.

 

Norman Lloyd: Since life expectancy for American men is 4 years less than the women, he's sorta the male equivalent of Rainer. Thus making him super old as well. But I think he might live to see 2014. He appeared sharp in a 2011 interview.

 

Joan Fontaine: Obviously inherited the same awesome longevity genes as sister Olivia, but I haven't seen a recent interview/lclip of her. That's why I think she won't live as long.

 

Efrem Zimbalist Jr: His dad lived to be 94 and for some reason, I always think that musicians live super long lives. So he won't die this year.

 

Mickey Rooney: He imitated his old friend Milton Berle by debuting as a child and having an 80+ long career. Miltie died when he was 93; will Mickey imitate that as well? I'm undecided on that one.

 

Abe Vigoda: Abe is like a video game player; everytime he dies, he presses the PLAY AGAIN button and voila...there he is, still kicking, whether it's The Godfather or Good Burger.

 

Carol Channing: I think she has the energy to keep on going for quite some time...Well, unless ♫Marry the mole♫ still haunts her in her dreams.

 

Christopher Lee: He's very active, but I'm afraid he's gonna exhaust himself too much. Also, he's 2 metres which means that his heart has to work even harder which could strain the 90-year old body. Either this or next year, I think he might go. :/

 

William Schallert: I'd say he's got a couple of years left. He appears to be calm and collected which could work in his advantage. But not too calm either, he's one of the least lazy actors out there. 363 titles to his credit is no walk in the park.

 

Norman Lear: I don't know much about him to be honest.

 

Sid Caesar: He looks super old, I'm sorry to say that the comedy television star might pass away this year...

 

Eva Marie Saint: Now here's a lady that could go all the way to 100. No doubt about it.

 

Lauren Bacall: Hmm...in 2 years, I think. Just a feeling I have.

 

Hal Holbrook: I thought he died this year, but turns out that was Milo O'Shea (their eyebrows...). Anyways, he appears to be healthy.

 

George Kennedy: A bit on the heavier side, and we saw Durning die last year. This time, it might be Kennedy. :(

 

Dick Van Dyke: Let's make another comparison: Andy Griffith had a successful show in the 60's named after him. Andy died in 2012. Dick Van Dyke had a successful show in the 60's named after him. Will Dick die in 2013? It's about recognizing patterns...

 

Joyce Randolph: Not that familiar with her...

Is it disrespectful to post something like this at a time like this?

I mean, our line of work, it's always out there. You probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?

The death of Tony Soprano.

 

Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri and "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero are seated outside "Satriale's Pork Store" and are in disbelief. At loss for words, Paulie is in deep thought. "They were planning this vacation for weeks and everything was fine" exclaims Paulie. "I spoke to him last Sunday".

 

When he looked at his daughter in the final moment of the last episode, he wasn't wacked. His daughter wasn't wacked. Nobody got wacked. Tony just decided it was all over. Tony became more cool and isolated with time. Carmela would just say "He doesn't care anymore" to the family in private as he had gained a lot of weight. Tony Soprano became quieter and more peaceful.
