I'm honestly laughing at Charles mgcraw reason of death. And the guy who did the tommy cooper was the same age as tommy cooper as well. Coincidence? I think not

[Spade_Cooley 9,018]

Weird to think Milton Berle and Buddy Hackett were both alive for 9/11.

[Spade_Cooley 9,018]

I'm not saying they should have stopped it, but still.

[Toast 14,804]

I'm honestly laughing at Charles mgcraw reason of death.

 

That says a lot about you.

 

 

 

One did make me smile:

 

Alan Carney, heart attack due to excitement of winning at the races

 

A quick exit while having fun and feeling happy. We should all be so lucky.

RIP Gene Wilder 1933 - 2016.

[Joey Russ 7,119]

I picked Gene Wilder because he does seem to be suffering from something.

Is that thing possibly Alzheimer's

That just proves the list should be expanded to 100 names.

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Should we make a music related list, except it should be 75 and older instead of 80 and older?

[Toast 14,804]

No.

Should we make a music related list, except it should be 75 and older instead of 80 and older?

There is but it needs an update. Just can't find the time.

 

There, with the update:

Don't judge me, I was bored as f**k.........so I made this. I don't know if there is a topic like this already (if there is i'll delete this one). If there's someone I forgot I'll add them later. Be free to correct me.

 

Here's the full list of people (created on 03 February 2016, dead ones are no longer in the poll):

 

Hal Holbrook - 1925

Hugh O'Brian - 1925

 

 

2016:

- George Kennedy 1925 - 2016 (91) - Doris Roberts 1925 - 2016 (90) - Bud Spencer 1929 - 2016 (86) - Gloria DeHaven 1925 - 2016 (91) - Steven Hill 1922 - 2016 (94) - Gene Wilder 1933 - 2016 (83)

Hugh O'Brian dead

 

​And that's a second 'hit' for Sir Creep's The afterLife of Brian theme team.

Assuming there's a qualifying obit of course...

Ok you've piqued my interest seeing as you do tend to remind us every dead person with DDP ties we are waiting on a QO. Who would be a short list of a few biggest names that DIDNT land a QO, cuz people like O'Brian I'm sorry but that's a given. But I am interested (and clearly too lazy to look). I just don't feel the need for a reminder is well-placed with the likes of Hugh O'Brian.

SC

 

Edit: I think only a few names are remotely shocking as 'Lost' in 2016: Kitty Kallen leading the pack. No obit for Piet de Jong yet? I gotta find one for you that can't be right. I could name a couple others (Carl Falck) but I'm on this side of the Pond and still haven't a good handle on what type of person obits over there. Kitty Kallen the only glaring oversight I see. So overall there can't be many, and Hugh O'Brian nowhere near as obtuse as the list of Lost folks so far IMHO.

Mail unsurprisingly on the case.

Well I take it back, that's my FIRST hit seeing as we are on the Lost topic and Bryan Wieidmeier died earlier this year but hasn't received a QO. So I'm off the schnide lol.

Francis Bay, Fergie Frederiksen (because he appeared on the Deathlist, I assumed he must have been more of note than I'd thought), Doctor Who writer Jane Baker and Nick Bockwinkel are the only folk to never get a qualifying obit which really surprised me.

[Sir Creep 7,011]

I forgot y'all discussed Bockwinkle, that is still a surprise seeing as some fringe wrestling entertainers, or fringe humans for that matter--Far less celeb has gotten the QO.

[Spade_Cooley 9,018]

Mad Dog Vachon got a full-scale Telegraph obit, and he was never on any level (be it fame or talent) close to Bockwinkle.

I don't think Richard Bradford got one which surprised me. I know he wasn't picked for the DDP but as a fan I did look out for an obit.

I think you should update your list to add Walter Koenig

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Time to update this for lupita Tovar. And please add Walter Koenig to the list.
