Think that's 10/50 now, so nowhere near winning yet, but... what a fucking call that was in 2019. I'd forgotten it!

Robbie Coltrane is a second hit for me here. Also a hit for: @BuffaloPhil, @msc, @Etushispushingupdaisies @Clorox Bleachman@Book, @Sean @Toast @Handrejkaand @The Old Crem. Robbie was born in 1950. R.I.P.

 

Not a hit that I'm happy about. RIP Samuel Johnson.

I don't understand who is Samuel Johnson?

Robbie Coltrane played Samuel Johnson in a classic episode of Blackadder

I wonder when this pool might end actually end.

Paul O'Grady is (official) hit No. 12 for me here: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65108130

[Toast 16,146]

Yes, I've got Paul O'Grady too.  Given his heart condition I always thought he could go suddenly at any time. 

[Toast 16,146]

Looks like nobody had Ryuichi Sakamoto , which isn't surprising.

This pool would have benefited from the opportunity to swap some picks in and out periodically.

As there is no qo for Jim Molan (died 16.01.2023) I will replace him with James Whale.

[Steve 604]

Don't think anyone had picked upon Lisa Loring being a hit in this pool too for @Handrejka

Only one necessary replacement for me so far, Kate Figes. And the replacement, Rush Limbaugh, died, too, of course.

So it seems like I have 11 hits so far. Is that good or bad? Well.... let's see in another 5 years.

Thanks. It looks like I had Kirsty Alley too which I don't remember and a few of us had Nicholas Evans.

Christopher Wenner (Max Stahl) I see died back in October 2021 @Handrejka

My annual sweep of this pool has brought to my attention that William Hurt died over a year ago.

Up to er...3.

This pool is self-evidently a marathon not a sprint though...

Paul Ruebens, AKA Pee Wee Herman, has passed away at age 70 and is my 3rd hit here. 
 

@Sean Time for an update please. Thank you.

[chiesa52 132]

Yes, sorry to see him go,  Paul Rubens, otherwise known as Pee Wee Herman was such a funny guy,  so young!  Not on my list, this was a surprise- https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/paul-reubens-actor-best-known-as-pee-wee-herman-dies-at-70/ar-AA1eBlGD?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=7776da9caa614cc6b16e1cb34d603dd0&ei=8
