Ghislaine Maxwell

Yes, that does seem a possibility. What do you think? "Suicide"?

Bill Cosby

Alondra wrote: "Bill Cosby"

Added. I would have thought he had a target on him as a celebrity rapist in jail. But, apparently he's popular among the other prisoners. Still a good add. Maybe his popularity will work against him.

John Astin
Mel Brooks
Dick Van Dyke
Carl Reiner
Ed Asner
Little Richard
Angela Lansbury
Honor Blackman (seems we always have a James Bond related one!)

Added. I seriously thought he was already dead.

I did too. I had to double check 'cause I would have sworn he passed away not too long ago... but as far as I could find he's still among the living.

Oh and Queen Elizabeth should be under Keith Richards as she will never die either along with Tony Bennett as he will probably live forever too! :)

Yeah - I was tempted to suggest . . . But stayed away from it!

Pierre Cardin - who knew he was still alive? He's 97. Good candidate for the list.

Liza Minnelli

I didn't know. Added

Added! Will be a sad day. He has done some AWESOME movies

I'm adding Jerry Lee Lewis

I feel we should just put in Aerosmith (entire band). Those guys look like hammered shit.

Ken B wrote: "I feel we should just put in Aerosmith (entire band). Those guys look like hammered shit."

I definitely agree with that one! While you are adding bands maybe you need to add the Rolling Stones as Mick Jagger looks hammered too! :) lol

Bob Dole

I'll add Larsen. Schoendienst died in 2018. He was on our list. Doerr died in 2017.

WendyB wrote: "Bob Dole"

Added! Again! He'll never die!

We don't really have the token "young" person yet . . .I suggested Pete Davidson last year and I still think he is living kind of precarious life (reminds me of previous SNL alum that didn't make it to old age) . . . but, I am not sure I would go with him a second year in a row. He is proving to be unstoppable.

Is 27 a magic number? Is that the age the other alums died at?

Interesting - I have never heard of that!

Maybe Pete is not a bad pick after all!
