DEAD!! All right, who died now?

Re: DEAD!! All right, who died now?

What celebrity death in 2016 hit you the hardest? Would you like to change your answer looking ahead?

Carrie Fisher for me. I don't think I had an answer last year and I'm not sure I have one this year. It usually surprises me how I react. I watched Carrie Fisher's "Wishful Drinking" last night and it's better than I had remembered.

If you have Amazon Prime, she's great as the male lead's mother in Catastrophe. I don't recall if she's in season 1, but she makes an appearance in season 2 for a few episodes and the flight upon which she had her heart attack was returning her home from filming season 3 of that show.

Won't make the Oscars' tribute film. Might make Daytona's though.

A moment of silence from NYE party-goers everywhere in appreciation for the debauchery which Mr. Hulseman helped make possible.
 
Re: DEAD!! All right, who died now?

Note: only one person lost the person they listed. FadeToBlack&Gold with John McLaughlin.

Look out media personalities, I am your reaper! :eek:

This Year: In addition to McLaughlin, I would add Gene Wilder.

Next Year: Mel Brooks, if he kicks it? He seems pretty healthy, but he did turn 90 this year. And for that matter, so did Warren Miller (the ski film director). I'll go with those two.

Olivia de Havilland, 104 and still kicking.
 
Re: DEAD!! All right, who died now?

Her dad was almost 96 and her mom almost got to 89. Great genes indeed.
 
Re: DEAD!! All right, who died now?

Huh. I was misinformed. Her sister Joan Fontaine made it to 96. I want those genes.
Do you really? I saw an interview once with a guy who I think is the stats guy for the University of Virginia football team. The guy is something like 104 years old. He said the only person who wants to live to be a 105 is someone who is already 104. :p
 
Re: DEAD!! All right, who died now?

I was thinking, after it was announced that Carrie died, who could possibly die in the remaining days of 2016 that could surpass the one-two punch of George Michael and Carrie Fisher. Couldn't think of anyone, and then Debbie Reynolds dies the next day. Jeez, two more days.....can we get thru them?

Jimmy Carter?
 
Re: DEAD!! All right, who died now?

I suspect there is a significant overlap if we hit six again and the last time we did? Maybe Reagan and ford in place of Obama and *shudder* Trump

Last time was after Dubya was inaugurated and I believe you are correct.
