hollybrookeAnd now, since it's a new year....my Death Pool for 2009.
10. Davy Crockett himself, Fess Parker.
Dear lord, he's old, and he's one you wouldn't expect. Which brings me to number nine...and may I mention I hate to make these predictions...
9. Kirk Douglas
He's one of the last of the original Movie Stars still alive and kicking, and people forget just how old he is (91).
8. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
He's one I hate to put on the death pool, but last I heard (and according to the Wikipedia link), he's slowly getting better from throat cancer, and he's not terminally ill. But still...
7. Gloria Stewart
She's older than Kirk Douglas. And she will die an old woman, warm in her bed. (Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you....)
6. Andy Rooney. You know, the cranky old guy who's still ranting about stupid random stuff on "60 Minutes."
5. Speaking of Bobby Heenan and his throat cancer...*sigh* Once again, I hate to even suggest it...
Yeah, we saw Roger Ebert accepting an award a couple of months ago, and he isn't doing very well these days either.
4. If you watch "Celebrity Rehab," I think I might get some people agreeing with me on this one if he doesn't do anything about getting himself any better....Jeff Conway.
3. I started crying thinking about this one. A few years ago when Richard Pryor passed away, I couldn't help but wonder how bad Annette Funicello's MS had progressed to.
It'll be a sad day when Annette passes away. :( (And I'll wear some Mickey Mouse ears in memorium.)
2. Yet another one who's been around for quite a while that everyone forgets is still alive!
He could play the role of a little girl in a Jell-O pudding pop commercial! (And I wanted an excuse to post a picture of Mickey and Judy. Those two were the bee's knees back in the day.)
And my number one pick at the top of my death pool this year.....
*sigh* You know, this dirty old man will probably live to be 100 and still be trying to bone the barely legal blondes who want to be naked in his magazine. But after seeing this picture....
...I'm sorry, but I think the Fugly Twins are going to eat him alive and take him for everything he's worth. He looks old and feeble there.
Honorable mentions:
--Elizabeth Taylor
I've been putting Liz on my death pool for the last twelve years. It's not that I want Elizabeth Taylor to die. It's just whenever you hear about her anymore, she's "close to death's door." The year I don't put her on will be the year she actually does kick the bucket. So she gets "honorable mention" this year.
--"The Killer" himself, Jerry Lee Lewis
"If I'm goin' to hell, I'm goin' playin' the piano!"
(I freaking love Jerry Lee Lewis, but I'll be very upset when he finally kicks it.)
