2019 Dead Pool

The 2019 Dead Pool

GOAL: Predict which notable* figures will die on/between January 1 and December 31, 2019, Eastern Time.

Produce a maximum of 50 names, to be PM'ed to me (NOT posted here) before the ball drops in Times Square (NYC) at midnight on New Years (i.e., 12AM ET, January 1, 2019). The BB's default timestamp will determine entry time, but I often post after midnight so the west coast has a little extra time.

*It's assumed that all notable figures will have an entry, or be mentioned in an entry, at Google, Wikipedia or another legit source which you may have to prove.

Rules:

1) PLEASE alphabetize your list of 50 names by LAST name (regardless of profession), either in the form of FIRSTNAME LASTNAME -or- LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, in *1* column of names.

2) If it's not obvious who the person is for most people, after the name please add why they're notable. For example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist" (Sorry, he's already dead). In addition, you may or may not choose to include the person's current age; for example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist (91)"

3) If you submit your list days before Midnight, January 1st, 2019, and someone on your list dies before 2019, you should substitute the person with another and resubmit your list (by the deadline). If you do not resubmit your list, and the person died in 2018, the person will obviously NOT count for 2019.

4) a) Thou Shalt Not Kill (anyone on your list); b) criminals subject to the Death Penalty or anyone kidnapped or held hostage in 2018 won't count -- unless they die of natural causes; c) "Dead" means permanently dead, not later revived, nor put in animated suspension, or any induced or natural coma starting before 2019 begins; d) do not edit Wikipedia with false death information.

Everyone's lists will be updated unofficially throughout the year, but year-end audits should be performed to determine the final winner sometime shortly after December 31, 2019. YOU are responsible for your own audit at years' end.

(The next post will contain all participants' lists for easy reference, sometime on Jan 1st)

Just sent mine. Have a Happy New Year everybody!!!

Anybody die yet? More importantly, did any of us pick him/her?

Somehow, that question just sounds morally wrong man..lol

Play this game for a year and you'll change your tune.

Just saw that my update didn't go through...I've re-sent & will check back here again this afternoon. Thanks!

Geoff,

I DM'd you earlier today. Just a few minor changes but hey, maybe I'll be the winner. Btw, what's this year's grand prize??? LOL



TIS

Okay, everyone's in, thanks! (I was out most of the day, but you're good)


Hmmm, ummm... a blue girly drink on me next time I see ya!

Yes, as of now 14 notable (and some less notable) people have passed already! I just added a link to the initial post to the Deaths in 2019 (wikipedia) page for quick reference....

Maybe the first notable death of the year:

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' star Bob Einstein dead at 76

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/curb-your-enthusiasm-star-bob-einstein-dead-at-76

Funkhauser.

Mean Gene Okerlund is dead too.

The floodgates have officially opened.

Dropping like flies now....

Daryl Dragon of Captain and Tennille Dies at 76

I just saw that. I would not have known/remembered his name. He was always "The Captain." I wasn't aware that they divorced either. Tho I never had any of their music, I didn't mind their songs. they were quite popular back in the day. RIP Captain






TIS

I knew him as Super Dave and he was hilarious as a policeman on Liberace's show and during his daring stunts that never went right.

Wow, the new year brought in the Reaper quick.

Super Dave was hysterical.

THE captain looked old back then.

The famous studio complex, Rumbo Recorders was built by The Captain and when not used by Tennille and himself was the place where many legendary records were created. Probably the most famous being Appetite for Destruction from Guns N Roses. Looking over the list of artists that worked at Rumbo it's interesting to see a studio built by a mellow, pop performer had quite the following among some fairly heavy musicians.

Paula Abdul, All-4-One, Bad Religion, Belinda Carlisle, The Captain & Tennille, Matt Catingub, Damn Yankees, Ronnie James Dio, Celine Dion, Sheena Easton, Firehouse, Getting Red, Guns N' Roses, Beth Hart Band, Corey Hart, Heart, Bruce Hornsby, I Mother Earth, Kiss, Michael Landau, Lynch Mob, Jeff Lynn, Barry Manilow, Kathy Mattea, Megadeth, John Cougar Mellencamp, Eddie Money, Mr Big, Vince Neil, Never The Bride, Stevie Nicks, No Doubt, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, Poison, Rage Against The Machine, The Rembrandts, Kenny Rogers, Michael Shenker, Diane Shuur, Slash's Snakepit, Smashing Pumpkins, Spinal Tap, Ringo Starr, Stone Temple Pilots, Take 6, Toni Tennille, John Tesh, Thunder, UFO

Very cool, Dio.

Sheena Easton is surprising since I thought Prince produced all her music and performances in his own studios.
I think their may be a story where he lured her from this studio mentioned to his.

I'll second you on Dio. He and wife Wendy were/are two of the nicest "show biz" folks I had the pleasure of meeting and working with back when I was in management/PR.

Do you mean Shiela E? Both worked with Prince extensively and had already launched careers prior to collaborating with him. Of the two Sheena had more hits under her belt before working with Prince and mostly co-wrote w/ him. Shiela E had more of a mentor/protege arrangement and was signed to his Paisley Park label.

Wow, interesting.... well there ya go.
Thanks Sunny.

FIRST PICK OF THE YEAR..

I picked Lassie Brown 114 who was an American supercentenarian..

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/09/683470726/oldest-person-in-u-s-has-died
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_supercentenarians

Saw that on the news.

Wow, you were the only one that had her D.

Good Pick

I know I'm not a member of this game , but belatedly of June 3rd,2018 , Legendary adult film & AVN Hall of Fame actor Johnnie Keyes died @ the age of 78...noted for his role as the 1rst interracial scene ever in a adult movie... w/ Marilyn Chambers in Behind the Green Door( the black guy w/ the shark teeth necklace)..noted jazz musician, activist, club owner...I know the younger members of this board have no idea who I'm talking about.

Perfect for throw back Thursday.

You can't go wrong with a couple of super-centenarians in your list..

You can mourn Johnnie Keyes, I'm mourning Jennifer Welles, who died last year at age 81.



Yeah, we're really showing our age here...


Signor V.

Mel Stottlemyre, New York baseball legend, dead at 77

Broadway legend Carol Channing has died at age 97.

Interestingly enough, De Niro was the only one who did not pick her - so now everyone is tied as far as "kills".


Signor V.

After three marriages, Channing re-connected with a high school sweetheart, and married him at age 82.

Wow, she was always nice to watch.

D, you missed that one.

Can't say ive ever heard of her. Not big on Broadway

Good call S.V...I too lusted over her missed that one..classy & beautiful.

Cardiff City record signing Emiliano Sala, 28, feared dead after his plane went down over the Channel Islands over night.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-guernsey-46954922

Whoever had him on their list deserves to be awarded a premature Dead Pool 2019 victory.

Actress and comedienne Kaye Ballard has died at age 93.



Probably best known for her role in the 1960's TV sitcom The Mothers-In-Law, she also had quite a long career in theatre and nightclubs.

R.I.P.


Signor V.

N



I remember her, that would have been some pick.

Louisa Moritz//comedic actress//70 yrs. One flew over the Cuckoos Nest.... Cheech & Chong movies///// don't know how 2 post pics so...also known 4 large endowments. very pretty.

Got it Hood


https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/vulture/2019/01/30/30-louisa-moritz.w330.h330.2x.jpg

Thanx Dues...u were reading my mind.

Julie Adams, heroine of the 1954 3-D classic "Creature From the Black Lagoon" had died at age 92.



That's her on the right.

Another part of my youth gone...


Signor V.

Frank Robinson, baseball player extraordinaire, died today at age 83. He was one of the best ballplayers I ever saw and the ONLY one to win the MVP award in both leagues. He was also the first black manager in the Bigs.

R.I.P. Frank

Albert Finney dies at 82yrs old.

The scene in Miller's Crossing with him shooting loads of guys in his pyjamas cracked me up for some reason.

Oh my God ...No fucki' way...I love him...what a loss...F..ckin'Network??? …"I wantcha all 2 get up outta ur seat & go 2 the window..." & Millers Crossing..Yes!..great Irish Gangster.

Oh yeah,,,,,, I forgot he was the Boss in Millers Crossing. Great flick.

I always remember him for many older movies.

Damn I didn't realize Albert Finney died until I saw it here. And I agree he was great in Millers Crossing. That movie has a lot of great one-liners and Leo has his share of them...

'As far as I know, what I don't know in this town ain't worth knowing...so take your flunky and dangle'

George Mendonsa, sailor kissing woman in iconic V-J Day photo, dies

I have Lyndon LarRouche on my list and he died a few days ago - I think I get to leap into the lead with him

Ah, not so fast! Baseball great Don Newcombe has died at age 92. Since SC was the only one who picked him, the two of you are tied.

Also wrestling great Pedro Morales recently passed away from complications of Parkinson's Disease. I don't believe anyone had him on their list.

R.I.P.


Signor V.

Well, I was in the lead for a few hours!

"Newk" was one of the central great figures of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1950s. A great pitcher and all-around classy guy he was one of my favorites.

R.I.P. Newk, and thanks for all the thrills.

Just saw that, and Designer Karl Lagerfeld at 85 yrs

Awww...

Peter Tork, endearingly offbeat bassist and singer in the Monkees, dies at 77

Peter Tork, singer and bass player from the '60s group The Monkees, has died at age 77. No cause of death was given, but Tork had battled oral cancer since 2009.



That leaves only Mickey Dolenz and Mike Nesmith; Davey Jones died in 2012.

R.I.P.


Signor V.

I just heard. Sorry to hear it. 😢 Monkees were really big back in the day. Yeah I was wondering what the cause of death was as well. I assume it could be the cancer. RIP




TIS

Sad.

I always thought the Bananna Splits were the Monkees.

Nathaniel Taylor, best-known as Rollo on "Sanford and Son" (1972-1977), died Thursday following a heart attack. He was 80.

Katherine Helmond 89 yrs has passed.

https://youtu.be/B-rljBKR2mo

Yes..just read..very sad..good looker 4 her any day of the week especially back in the Tony Danza series...Ijust read that she goes all the way back 2 black & white movies in 1951...stage actress too...

Yes, she was a sultry older lady.

Keith Flint, frontman of The Prodigy dead by suicide at 49.

Dam, wtf

Sad.

90210 Star Luke Perry Dead at 52 from Stroke.

Sad, I met this guy at a resurant once in NYC, he thought I was someone he knew and came up to me with a huge greeting and gave me a bear hug.

Me and all my guys laughed our asses off, he was cool.

DeNiro had The Snake.

Good pic

No one had Jan Michael Vincent

Carmine Persico dies aged 85

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47507787

Seems i was the only one who picked him, surprising..

Pro wrestler King Kong Bundy passed on March 4, at 62.

Kelly Catlin: Three-time world track champion dies aged 23

https://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/47518643

So far there's one source stating that Dick Dale, ‘King of the Surf Guitar’ Passes Away at 82 -- he would play the Jersey Shore area quite often, but I never got around to seeing him....

A great songwriter, one of the last orginal rockers, and a very dirty old man...Detroit's own...Andre Williams Passes Away

Scott Walker, influential rock enigma, dies aged 76

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47691705

HARTFORD, Conn. — Charles Van Doren, the dashing young academic whose meteoric rise and fall as a corrupt game show contestant in the 1950s inspired the movie "Quiz Show" and served as a cautionary tale about the staged competitions of early television, has died. He was 93.

Forrest Gregg, former Packers All Pro passed away. I had him on my list.

Les Reed: Delilah songwriter dies aged 83

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47948530

Georgia Engel (Georgette on Mary Tyler Moore show) also passed away.

RIP to Henry (the H in H&R) Block (96)

https://rememberinghenrybloch.com/

I guess this last year overtaxed him.

RIP to a childhood icon

Meadowlark Lemon, legendary Harlem Globetrotter, dies at 83

Sad news for me...... Lemon was a true talent and great ball handler. Thanks for all the laughs and thrills, Meadowlark!

Yes...a true wonder..when I was a kid It AMAZED me how he did all those tricks..loved watching him..RIP.

Wait a second..... TIME OUT!!

Meadowlark Lemon died back in 2015. Geoff gets a penalty for holding the ball.

But John Havlicek, the great basketball player with the Boston Celtics, did die yesterday at age 79. He had Parkinson's.

Just a tidbit: Speaking of Meadowlark Lemon, the Harlem Globetrotters came to the Middle School I was working at and gave a performance for the school (long time ago. Can't remember the year. I'm not a sports fan by any stretch, but they were very entertaining and I think everyone enjoyed it.

Cool story.

Jim Fowler, Host of 'Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom,' Dies at 89

Dick Tomey, the winningest football coach at the University of Arizona, has died at age 80 from cancer, his family announced Saturday.

Actress Doris Day dies aged 97

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-48257670

Everybody picked her..

RIP to an absolute Hollywood Icon..

FFS... I'm always seeing people on Facebook posting out-of-date death notices; I guess I forgot to double check this one. Sorry 'bout that!

I was just at my nephew's graduation at U of A this past week. They announced someone's passing at Friday's commencement but I don't recall if it was Tomey or not...

Sounds like somebody ate too many In and Out burgers recently.

I remember a few years ago when I thought I was the first to announce Jean Stapleton passing away only to find out she died 3 years earlier. It's funny, and a little ghoulish, that my first thought when a celebrity passes away is whether or not I have them on my list, and if I did, is it one of the unique ones. A few years ago the whole Zsa Zsa Gabor thing was very anti-climatic since everyone had her.

This one hurts a little...

TIM CONWAY
'CAROL BURNETT SHOW' STAR
DIES AT 85

(Only BAM had him on his list)

That does hurt - his parts on the Carol Burnett show were some of the funniest things I've ever seen. He and Harvey Korman made a great team.

I. M. Pei, architect, died at age 102. A few of us had picked him.

Author Herman Wouk has died at age 103.

Several of us picked him.


Signor V.

All I know about him is that his name was in the title of a Stephen King short story I read called, "Herman Wouk Is Still Alive".

He is most famous for writing "The Caine Mutiny" (the great story made into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart).

The “ Angry Cat” 7 yrs old feline.... an actual Cat who was made famous on social media.

Bill Buckner dies at 69 after battling dementia

As I Yankees fan, I, of course, rooted for the Mets in '86... his missed catch was awesome (for the Mets) -- sorry, SC

RIP Buckner -- way too young, especially to deal with dementia...

A very nice ESPN Video from 2011: https://youtu.be/4CR9kKGeE5Q

Very sad to hear this news. For one thing, Billy Bucks was a decent player and a major reason why the Sox made the Series in '86. But for a more personal reason...... he was about my age.

R.I.P., Bill

Actor Carmine Caridi, who appeared in two Godfather films and was kicked out of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for sharing screeners, has died. He was 85.

Caridi died Tuesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, his rep, Tim Jordan of Jordan Lee Talent, told The Hollywood Reporter. Actor-director Chazz Palminteri told TMZ that Caridi died of complications suffered from a recent fall.

I remember him as Vince Gotelli in NYPD Blue.

She will be missed.

‘Alf’ Actor Max Wright Dies at 75

I understand your position Hood however, death is handled differently throughout the world and the ages.

Death is something that everyone will be a participant of and can be dealt with any way you like.
Death was good enough for my Da and My Dog, I will be good enough to greet it and treat it like any other natural event in Life.

Most of the people on the Lists are people who screamed for attention in Life, why should they not receive it in Death as well.

I like the idea of Laughing in The Face of Death.

I can pretty much guarantee that there is zero chance that anyone whose mother just died and is mentioned on this thread will see the reference.

Don Marco should be credited for Claus von Bulow and Mikey Sunset got Sylvia Miles.

Lee Iacocca, Visionary Automaker Who Led Both Ford and Chrysler, Is Dead at 94

Surprisingly no one had him. (Got the two you mentioned, SV, thanks)

Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot dies aged 89

Very scary

Do not see anyone having him but did notice TIS had Ross Perot also,

Oops, thanks!

Former NY Yankees pitcher, Jim Bouton, died today at age 80. Bouton was a decent starter for the Yanks in the '60s but perhaps his greatest claim to fame was his autobiography "Ball Four" which I loved for its insight behind the scenes.

Rutger Hauer dies aged 75. I thought he was great in The Hitcher. Must watch that one again soon.

Oh man , that dude was a modern day villen in my day.

Great Actor.

The actor who played Vinnie in Kiwi soap Shortland Street died from suicide back in May.

He'd be the last person you'd suspect from watching the show. I used to watch it all the time with my ex-girlfriend.

Do not know that Man or the show but know of Depression not first hand but people who suffer in it.

Sole Hit B

I just heard this. I’m so surprised and sorry to hear it. I had no idea he had lung cancer. I remember back in the day when Easy Rider came out we rushed to see it. Have the soundtrack to the movie as well Does anybody remember The Wild Angels? Had that soundtrack too. 😄 Oh yea and there was The Trip. Probably before most of your time 😂 It was popular at the time but now it’s really dated I couldn’t sit and watch it again. Anyway very sorry to hear that news RIP Peter Fonda.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/funkadelic-cover-artist-pedro-bell-dead-877565/

Pedro Bell, the artist responsible for numerous Funkadelic and George Clinton album covers, has died at age 69. Both Clinton and bassist Bootsy Collins confirmed the news on social media, though a cause of death was not announced.

Valerie Harper died today at age 80. She was best known as Mary Tyler Moore's neighbor.

A few of us picked her for our lists.

I remember when she was first diagnosed, it was expected months to an year. She made it past five years, and briefly made it to her 80s. May she finally get some rest.

Sad.

Some Board members may be old enough to have watched her show Rhoda. If so, recall that it was on opposite Monday Night Football and was so popular that it gave Football a run for its money especially the Rhoda's Wedding episode. In fact, even Howard Cosell welcomed those viewers back to football who had tuned out to watch the wedding.

I should get credit for picking John Paul Stevens. The former Supreme Court justice died this past July at age 99.

Actress Carol Lynley, 77, died today at age 77. She was best known for her movie role in "The Poseidon Adventure".

Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, at 95.

I didn't realize she had battled cancer for so many years. Sad news RIP

https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2486682/do-the-right-thing-actor-danny-aiello-has-died-at-86

It seems we're in the middle of one of those periods of time where we're apparently just going to lose one great star after another. It's only been a few days since we lost Rene Auberjonois and Big Bird performer Caroll Spinney on the same day, and now, news has come that we've lost another valuable actor. Academy Award nominee Danny Aiello has died at the age of 86.Danny Aiello racked up more than 100 acting credits in a career that spanned more than 40 years. He made his debut in 1973's Bang the Drum Slowly, which was followed up in short order with the role of Tomny Rosato in The Godfather: Part II.

Aiello would frequently play Italian mobsters in his roles forever after, but over his long career he still had opportunities to do more. He had roles in Once Upon a Time in America, The Purple Rose of Cairo, and Moonstruck. He played Madonna's father in her "Papa Don't Preach" music video. The man basically had every sort of role under the sun at one time or another.

I thought Aiello was good as Tim Robbins's guardian angel in Jacob's Ladder. Creepy movie.

He also played a mobster in a memorable episode of the 80s horror anthology, Tales from the Darkside.

Been a while since I saw Do the Right Thing.

Luv that guy,,,, why do such great people always pass right before the Holidays.

Sad

A reminder to all to audit your 2019 lists and let me know if any names were missed! And please get your 2020 lists together during the next week and PM them to me....

I haven't decided what to do with SC's list for next year...

We should keep his list running in honor of him..

Yes.

I'm going to stress this again, because I just went thru SC's list for 2019 and discovered that one of his (Richard Overton, 112) actually died a year ago, in 2018 -- had he realized it then, his total would've been 14 to tie Mig's 14. I never did come up with a tie-breaker as it had never happened. I suppose there'd be no tie-breaker, just co-winners. As for 2019, SC is currently tied with Don Marco with just a few days to go....

A quick way to check your names is -- on a desktop computer -- to highlight the name, right-click, and click "Search Google" in the menu. On the right side of the page it'll show dates for Born and (if applicable) Died....
