beemerboy Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It's happening again. Mom used to say that they tend to die in "three's" and in retrospect that's just about how things have panned out. This weekend and today saw the passing of Barbara Billingsly and Tom Bosley, who's next? I'm thinking Doris Day. Link to comment
Ron_B Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 That's easy. Got to be Keith Richards. (I've been betting on Keith for the last 25 years.) Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Tell you who it won't be: Clint Eastwood. He's got another 10+ years of movie making in him, then the memoirs and interviews, and finally retirement. He'll be around for some time to come Come to think of it, he did a Dirty Harry movie on this very concept called The Dead Pool Link to comment

DavidEBSmith Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Benoit Mandelbrot died last week. The inventor of fractals? Link to comment
yabadabapal Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Bugs Bunny is my favorite movie star and he will never die. I loved watching leave it to beaver. Link to comment
enfoman Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 There is a local bar that the barflys have a pool in. They call it a deathpool. I am not exactly privy to the way it works but it does add up to some good chunks of change at times. If I were a betting man and had a little cash in the pool, my money would be on Larry King. (Some would say that is a safe bet, but he is still kickin around.) But this point is mute. I believe the first star to pass away in this run of threes was the old lady that played Rose in Titanic. I think that was no more than ten days ago she took her final cruise. Bob Link to comment

Bheckel169 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm thinking it's going to be Kirk Douglas. He's been in frail health for quite awhile. Bruce Link to comment
Mrs. Caddis Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Actually Johnny Sheffield, "Boy" in the Tarzan films passed away today. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gLaDgR_h1LVrCbLh37nxcjirVd1Q?docId=a39e9a6dbeb94f8a92bf46e4e76498fe Link to comment

upflying Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I put my money on Paris Hilton to be the next to kick the bucket. Link to comment
beemerman2k Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm with Bob on this one; it will be someone like Paris Hilton or some other young "thrill seeking" celebrity. You see, guys like Abe Vigoda and Larry King and even Clint Eastwood, will never die! Once you reach a certain age, if you're still here, you're pretty much staying here. Look at Bob Hope! OK, he did eventually pass away, but it was long after those who figured he'd go were themselves already deceased. Same thing happened with George Burns. This is why Keith Richards will outlive all of us Link to comment

beemerboy Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 This is in way too poor taste to answer. Just idle curiosity, Kenny Boy. Besides, no one escapes this planet alive and we all have to go sometime, right? Link to comment

baggerchris Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 That's easy. Got to be Keith Richards. (I've been betting on Keith for the last 25 years.) If what I hear he said in his new book is correct, I wouldn't doubt that Mick will finish him off himself. Link to comment
