Which older celebrity are you sad knowing might die soon?

[NewbieJr 541]

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.

[drobeski 3,061]

None

[Bert 1,128]

Clint Eastwood.

[joneo 556]

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

[joneo 556]

Clint Eastwood.

 

 

Damn, beat me to it.

[Cruzer 1,995]

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

[edjr 6,578]

Huh? why would you be sad about an old person dying?

 

THAT'S WHAT THEY DO!

[dain11279 963]

Off the top of my head I really can't think of any.

 

Now if you flipped it and said what young celebrities would I wish got hit by a train the list would be quite long

[Bert 1,128]

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

Agreed. God awful president but one hell of a great human being.

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.

[fandandy 3,313]

Jerry Stiller. He's a comedy gem.

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

[cyclone24 1,912]

None. Ill give it a 5 second "Oh thats a shame"...then im over it.

[supermike80 1,812]

Miley Cyrus

[wiffleball 4,788]

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.

You weren't upset at all when Carlin died?

[BufordT 428]

None. Ill give it a 5 second "Oh thats a shame"...then im over it.

Will you give it a 5 second "Ain't that a shame" .... when Fats Domino leaves us?

Good one. Hadn't thought of him. One of my favorites

[NewbieJr 541]

Thought you'd say Old Grand-Dad

[edjr 6,578]

 

You weren't upset at all when Carlin died?

 

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

[MDC 7,162]

Iggy Pop

[iam90sbaby 2,497]

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

Only the good die young

[wiffleball 4,788]

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.

[Sho Nuff 720]

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.

the thread title said older, which is one of his bits. but yeah I hear you, 80 is kind of my line.

[kutulu 1,659]

just read this interview the other day... Not a huge fan but pretty interesting imo. I think he played some shows with Metallica not that long ago too

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.

[joneo 556]

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

 

 

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

[Djgb13 2,339]

Bill Murray. Though Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and Morgan Freeman are up there as well

[tubby_mcgee 700]

Here is a good list:
