Celebrity Death Pool!

[Ran]

Zsa Zsa Gabor nearly had one foot in the grave. Literally.

[vynsane]

no one had pete postlethwaite?

[anarky]

Like I told a film buff friend when he brought it up, "He was one of the best 'that guys' in the business." I doubt anyone who wasn't in the industry or a serious film aficionado knew his name.

[Ran]

I'll admit it. I just searched for him and when his picture came came up, I said "oh, that guy".

[vynsane]

anarky gets another point.

[anarky]

Anyone have "Macho Man" Randy Savage?

[Ran]

Hmm. Heart attack while driving. He was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Weird. Rick Martin died that way a couple months ago.

[jjreason]

I'm devastated. Like the greatest match of all time was Macho Man vs Ricky the Dragon Steamboat at Wrestlemania III (the one where Hulk Hogan went against Andre the Giant anyhow). At least now he can go "DOWN THAT AISLE!!!!" with Ms. Elizabeth for all eternity.

EDITED: Had my Wrestlemania's wrong - I was off by a year.

[Ran]

No one had Jack Kevorkian?

[Diabolical]

Kinda disappointed that he didn't have any help.

Hypocrite.

Vaya con dios, James Arness.

[Ran]

I remember my 8th grade history teacher telling us about him. She said he was in WWII. Since he was so tall, they made him jump off the landing craft first to see how deep the water was. He was hit in the leg during one battle, which is why he walked with a limp.

I guess everyone assumed Clarence Clemons was immortal? I know I did.

Seriously, though, 69? I mean, I guess it makes sense if you do the math, but, man, I had no idea he was that old.

Or that he played the head of the Council in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

[Ran]

I had no idea he was 69. A lady I used to work with knew him. Her husband used to play with him back in Jersey. She said he would stop in and visit them any time he was in town.

[Rollo Tomassi]

In Heaven, Clarence will get a new Saxophone every Christmas for being good.
