Wonder if in 25 years, there'll be posts like "Just discovered that Ritchie Blackmore is still alive."

He was just on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, on which I'm sure he managed to drop even more F-bombs than the host.

Orson Bean's ex-wife Carolyn (1960s & 70s) is apparently still alive also. Their daughter Susannah was married to Andrew Breitbart when he died in 2012.

He probably did, but it was written "sheeawa scheeawa scheeawa, scheeawa scheeawa".

Clarissa Eden, wife of Anthony Eden (British Prime Minister from 1955-1957) - and she's not even the oldest living Prime Minister's spouse, as Mary Wilson is more than four years older than her.

mixed feelings, it's like I lost one living celebrity and gained another

there is a Debbie & Carrie as contemporary neighbors documentary around which I'm sure will be fast-tracked for release now.

It's about that time of year when I post Doris Day to this thread. It's tradition.

Kind of surprised that Richard Adams only just went, so up to yesterday or whatever.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Daily aka Roger from I dream of Jeannie and Barbara Eden who played Jeannie of course.

I had assumed until this year they were long gone.

Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 28 December 2016 15:38 (nine years ago)

Speaking of Carrie, I was looking up some stuff on Shampoo yesterday, and she's the first of Beatty's conquests in the film to go--Lee Grant, who played her mother, turned 91 this year on Halloween.

well Debbie Reynolds was just rushed to a hospital with a possible stroke so 2016 can continue to get fucked.

And now, Debbie Reynolds has died too. Unbelievable. :(

Roz, Thursday, 29 December 2016 01:49 (nine years ago)

These celebrity deaths are getting absurd.

Treeship, Thursday, 29 December 2016 02:12 (nine years ago)

I feel like an insane person. Everyone says "this happens every year."

Treeship, Thursday, 29 December 2016 02:16 (nine years ago)

well what an unfortunate event to end the celebrity year, goddamn

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 29 December 2016 02:19 (nine years ago)

I just don't agree that it happens every year, it's absolutely a lot more.

I went a bit mad in 2014 and made a collage of everyone from the Wikipedia deaths page for that year (this took a long time and nobody was interested, think it might be my biggest waste of time ever, I'm even ashamed to be thinking about it now) but it was actually a slow year for celebrity deaths. If I had waited two years this may have been a worthwhile project... nah, who am I fooling
