Which older celebrity are you sad knowing might die soon?

Recommended Posts

I know she's still quite sharp, but the truth is, Betty White is in her 90's. It really saddens me to know she won't be around much longer. Reminds me of George Burns when I was young. Just seemed like he'd live forever. And then one day, you heard he died.

 

Also, Jimmy Carter. Bad President, but one of the great humanitarians of our lifetime.

Agree with White. For the male side, I would go with Eastwood.

Jimmy - I know he had his faults, but I genuinely believe the man didn't have an evil bone his body.

I feel this way. Even at 10yrs old I didn't cry when my grandma died. I was smart enough to know that it's a normal part of life and elderly people die. Celebrate someone's life rather than mourn their death. When younger people die it's tragic.

Cry for people that die young and especially tragically, like in accidents they had no control over.

Bob Newhart.

 

Sad just thinking about it.

 

He did something for a roast or a tribute - can't remember - where he was just at his desk at home - and it just stole the show.

Very quiet, unassuming, old fashioned, guy good.

 

Some folks just represent the passing of an era. He will be one of them.

in 2017, 71 isn't old. Died suddenly, unexpected, wasn't sick. That's sad

 

Dying of being old, not sad

 

Eastwood is 87 and Betty White is 95 (both named in this thread)

 

 

Life expectancy in the USA is 76

On the fmaile side, Carol Burnett.

 

One of the few good memories I have as a kid that involved my Mom.

We'd all sit around watching her show - and laughed a lot.

 

She's aged well and, best I can tell, has always been whip-smart, independent - without ever having an attitude.

I'd like to agree but she must be a money grubbing b1tch. Her show is still not in syndication and the only time you'll see it is when she's pawning off DVD's.

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman - they both can't have much longer.

Haven't seen jack making the rounds in a while. But have caught some interviews with Freeman and he still looks pretty good and is quite sharp.

Burt Reynolds. I was watching an episode of Fast And Loud where they went to his house to get an autograph on the glove compartment door for a bandit car. Couldn't believe how bad he looked.

That is life expectancy if you were born today...In the 1930's (when Carlin and Eastwood were born) life expectancy was ~60. IIRC, you're 50ish, so expect to pass around age 70.

They should get busy and do some interesting things before they die.
