Celebrity Death Pool!

[Ran]

Rick Hurst, 79. He was Cletus on The Dukes of Hazard and was on a couple episodes of MASH. I scrolled through his filmography and was surprised to see that he was the announcer in the original Karate Kid.

[Tom Foolery]

Bill Moyers, TV news journalist mostly on PBS. 91.
I remember watching him a lot when I was a kid in the 80s. After the National and local news, my dad would switch it over to PBS. I absorbed 90 minutes of news every night and didn’t realize that wasn’t something most kids were doing.

[Ran]

Dave Parker, 74. Baseball HOF player for the Pirates. Lived 13 years with Parkinson's.

[Diabolical]

Jimmy Swaggart, 90.
Currently rotting in Hell.

[Ran]

Alex Delvecchio, 93. Legendary Detroit Red Wing.

[Diabolical]

Michael Madsen, 67.
"Natural causes."

[Tom Foolery]

He seems like the kinda guy that would have a heart attack at 67. Lotta mileage if you get my meaning.

RIP Vic Vega.

[Ran]

Kenneth Colley, 87. He was Admiral Piett. Apparently he was also Jesus in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

[anarky]

He was great in Peaky Blinders, too.

I've always thought the best acting in the OT is Piett in the couple of seconds right after the Falcon jumps into hyperspace. He knows he's as good as dead, and then Vader ignores him. The expressions on Colley's face are just perfect. Very subtle, but beautiful.

(If anyone cares, the PT equivalent is Bail Organa watching the Clonetroopers deploy on Coruscant. Again, subtle but perfect.)

[Diabolical]

Julian McMahon, 56.
Dr. Doom couldn't beat cancer.

[Tom Foolery]

Malcolm Jamal-Warner. Theo Huxtable on the Cosby Show. Drowned off the coast of Costa Rica after getting caught in a high current. He was 54.

[anarky]

Mama, Ozzy is coming home.

Ozzy Fucking Osbourne, 76, Parkinson's. Just two weeks after reuniting the original Black Sabbath for a crazy successful farewell concert, with proceeds going to charity.

Fucking legend.

\m/

[Diabolical]

Crazy...but that's how it goes.

[anarky]

I feel like if society paid attention to the lyrics of "Crazy Train" and "War Pigs," and not just the badass guitar, we wouldn't be where we are today.
