Predictions on who will be the last standing? Maybe even who will be the next to go? Interesting poll idea. Could separate it into men v. women as well since likely women will last much longer.

Of the above names, you'd think Bob Barker given how frail he's been for bloody ages? Before researching this list, I didn't realise how difficult (and expensive!) it is to get a star on the Walk of Fame. Someone has to nominate you with all the appropriate paper work and the permission in writing from the nominee. The nominee then needs to pay $50,000 to the Walk for their star AND attend the ceremony in order for it to be installed (in the past, some ppl like Al Pacino, George Clooney and Bruce Springsteen agreed to get their stars, but never booked a ceremony, or in the case of Springsteen... never showed up!!). There's also only one posthumous honoree each year now (this year it's been granted to Carrie Fisher). Unbelievably (in addition to Pacino, Clooney and Springsteen), Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Julia Roberts, George Lucas, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince etc etc do not have stars. One notable nonagenarian omission is Clint Eastwood! Definitely long overdue, but maybe just doesn't want one. Seems to me the whole process has become too complicated and has basically turned into a money raising exercise for Hollywood. (the next star to be installed btw, will be Benedict Cumberbatch, in 2 days time, making him the 2714th recipient) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Long history of health problems including cancers, atleast one stroke, blocked carotid artery and of course falls. He had three falls between 2015 and 2019, hospitalised for around four months after the last one and seems to have been in a wheelchair since. However I'm not sure, I don't think he's been seen since the last "rare public appearance" in October 2019: However he did comment on The Price is Right's 50th anniversary in August 2021. Tony Bennett, Harry Belafonte, Joanne Woodward, Barbara Walters and Nichelle Nichols are also good candidates for the next death from that list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the rule that you must attend has come in Barbra Striesand is the only person to added without attending. This was because she cancelled at very short notice and it had already been set up. Cher accepted but then didn’t schedule her appearance so it was never installed. She did turn up shortly after Sonny Bono died for a joint star for Sonny and Cher. Julia Roberts was announced the year before Cumberbatch as having finally accepted one but it hasn’t been installed yet. Covid has caused delays through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCAlum2000 42 Posted February 26, 2022 According to IMDB and wikipedia, actor Brad Johnson has died at the age of 62, possibly of COVID. Almost no media coverage. He wasn't an A-lister, but he's been in a number of movies, most notably a starring role in the Steven Spielberg movie Always, and also starred in the Left Behind film series. So far, no confirmation of his passing outside wikipedia and IMDB, and even that information is scant. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424635/?ref_=nmbio_bio_nm UPDATE: It looks like actor Brad Johnson has indeed died of covid at the age of 62. https://www.facebook.com/kendrasantoscowboys/posts/941040439930861 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, judging by the photos, he potentially has plenty of facial hair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
