Hollywood Possibilities

I always liked Joe Don Baker. He's great fun in Edge of Darkness, and a wonderfully OTT Bond villain.

NOTE - In response to Drols list. He's not dead.

Valerie Perrine might be worth considering.

She played the one who got to 100 (Maria - named Louisa in the film). Didn't get close to that age.

After Rance Howard's death I wondered how many Cool Hand Luke actors were still alive as Kennedy, Davalos, Stanton, James and Howard have all died in a year and a half. So here is the list, which is rather short:

 

*Joy Harmon (1940), played Lucille, the girl.

*Morgan Woodward (1925), Hollywood legend played Walking Boss Godfrey in an outstanding performance (he did not say a word during the film).

*Charles Tyner (1925), played Boss Higgins.

*Lou Antonio (1934), played Koko.

*Anthony Zerbe (1936), played Dog Boy.

*Joe Don Baker (1936), played Fixer.

 

It is interesting to see how many cast members have died since 2010:

 

Dennis Hopper (29 May 2010, aged 74)

Luke Askew (29 March 2012, aged 80)

Ralph Waite (13 February 2014, aged 85)

Wayne Rogers (31 December 2015, aged 82)

George Kennedy (28 February 2016, aged 91)

Richard Davalos (8 March 2016, aged 85)

Buck Kartalian (24 May 2016, aged 93)

Clifton James (15 April 2017, aged 96)

Harry Dean Stanton (15 September 2017, aged 91)

Rance Howard (25 November 2017, aged 89)

 

 

 

 

A spin-off thread, perhaps more for extra-curricular than here, that I've always wanted to create is where we definitely list movies that the entire (known) cast is 100% dead from. Outside of, like, Swimming to Cambodia, it's very hard to do because so many movies have a guy listed on IMDB who did nothing else with their career (see: the bailiff from 12 Angry Men).  Similarly, there's one actress in Guys and Dolls who vanishes after about 1960 that holds that film back from getting a black tick.

 

Any interest in such a thread?

Danny Breen, a Second City performer of the early 1980s who became a successful Hollywood actor and producer, has died at age 67.  He died at his Los Angeles home after a seven-year fight with cancer.  Breen performed alongside George Wendt, Tim Kazurinsky and Jim Belushi in a series of Second City revues starting in 1979. He later moved to Los Angeles, where he was part of the ensemble on HBO’s satirical series “Not Necessarily the News.” Later he produced TV series including “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and “The Wayne Brady Show.”

What I think about these names.  Connery, Duvall and Caine are the most likely to die this year.

Duvall would be the first to go.

among the women, Redgrave sadly is the one who is the most likely to leave in 2019 ( as his former son-in-law Liam Neeson?) because she looks frail.

The two other women I put on "likely to be in my 2019 deathlist" are not dying of course but are above 70. Have they been  chain-smoking? Drug addicted? If the answer is yes, they might be in 2019 deathlist. If the answer is no and if they have an healthy way of life, they won't be in 2019 deathlist unless something happen (i.d cancer, loss of child or grandchild, car accident)

But being older doesn't mean more likely to die. Just take Helen Mirren: she is 72, older than Liam Neeson but he is more likely to die this decade than her because of the tragic loss of his wife in 2009.
