ImNotHades 207 Posted April 20, 2016 As I mentioned Doris Roberts and Jerry Stiller a month ago for next years list, I stay by that thought. Well, without Doris now. I'm convinced that Jerry won't make it past this year but if he does he should be added for 2017. After his wife's death he became quiet and if internet isn't lying (haha), he's retired, too. A question: Do the committee take a thread like this as a "sketch" for next year? If not, they should. Or at least there should be a poll or something. You know, like take 200 people with the highest chance of dying next year and let us decide which 50 should be listed. Towards the beginning of December - a thread will be posted asking "Who should be on the 2017 Deathlist?". The committee may or may not pay attention to it, but I'm pretty certain celebrities mentioned in that thread have been included in years past. Pearl Washington died today. I remember someone saying he was not going to see 2017. Patricio Aylwin died yesterday aged 98 and he was in a horrible condition ever in december. Deathlist refused to pick them (maybe Washington is not so famous, yes) or Howard Marks to pick Lester Piggott, Murray Walker, Mary Tyler Moore, Glenn Campbell and none of them is gonna die this year. I agree with everything you said. But I can't complain either. I've got only Nancy in my shadow but George Kennedy, Doris Roberts and Abe Vigoda were people who somehow I forgot to add. They were in my mind, obviously, but Val Kilmer and few others took their place instead in December changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,138 Posted April 21, 2016 i'm sure there is a rumours thread, but I cant find it so I'll put this here. This has been doing the rounds today http://blindgossip.com/?p=77843 Yes, I read it the other day, I'm sure it was posted on here somewhere. Now you mention it, I think there is indeed a Rumours thread, and that is probably where it is. ETA and then again, not. ETA again It's right there in the Prince thread on 18 April. Post 23. Just the link with no comment, that's why it didn't stand out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Droosy Posted April 26, 2016 Am I the one who think that Hugh Jackman is likely to die next year even if he claims to be in good health ? http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk/ve-felt-like-underdog-admits-Hugh-Jackman-star/story-29006862-detail/whatson/story.html He had cancer several times before reaching 50! Obviously, he has had a fifth cancer growth removed recently. http://www.albanydailystar.com/health/wolverine-advice-sunscreen-against-skin-cancer-milwaukee-tech-time-16205.html Growing up in Australia, he was too poor to afford sunscreen, so now he keeps on campaigning, with a bandage on his nose, for using more sunscreen in households Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
