Subject: If They Died In 2017, Which Celebrity Would You Miss The Most?

Written By: Indy Gent on 12/31/16 at 1:17 pm

The Grim Reaper took a lot of celebrities too soon in 2016. Providing no other die in the next few hours, which aging or popular celebrity would you missing? (They would still need to be living.) Here are some I would feel despondent without.

Billy Graham
Any of Charlie's Angels
Lee Majors
Michael Caine
President George H.W. or Barbara Bush definitely not George W. Bush)
Barbra Streisand
The remaining children of Eddie Fisher

Note:I didn't put this in the 2010's thread because of the sensitivity of the topic.

If there would be other celebrities dying in 2017, I would sadly miss...

Betty White
Bill Clinton (I don't know if his condition is worse)
The children of Judy Garland
Carrie Fisher's other family members

Britney Spears seems REALLY young to die.

To add on more, since I would most likely be sad if I see them die.

Bill Gates
Tony Sirico (I'm gonna say it, he's my favorite Sopranos actor)
Samuel L. Jackson
Christian Bale
Terry Crews
Hank Aaron
Bob Gibson
Andy Samberg
Arnold Schawrzenegger
Stefan Karl

I know, but people can get into accidents. I hope she doesn't die.  :(

Honestly, I probably only truly have emotional feelings for like 10, or less, celebrities. It's not like I'm going to call all the celebrities, and hang out with all of them.

Yeah but it would be like less if they died, since 2016 killed a lot of celebrities.

I didn't know there was only Bee Gee member surviving. That's sad for a band that gained popularity during the 70s and early 80s.

That's as sad as John Lennon and George Harrison dying so soon.

Back home, shown on a regular arts channel is a Bee Gees concert from around 10 to 15 years ago, I find it sad to watch for that reason.

It feels like a time before two of the Bee Gees died sadly in 2003. It could've been 15 years ago.

I don't believe in hexes. I do believe that a lot of people with long, debilitating illnesses live longer than those with heart attacks or strokes. There is some hope in the medical industry in that more patients can at least live through their 90's.

I don't know about that.  Alan Frew from Glass Tiger had a stroke in his sleep 1.5 years ago and he's been going strong since then.  Dick Clark lived for 7 years after he had his stroke.

I lot of people do survive strokes and other serious diseases. It depends mostly on how fast the victim will receive proper medical attention. I had a co-worker die of an asthma attack.She was alone at her place for about 2-6 hours on a Saturday before anyone could call 911. She was only in her 30s when she died.

Yes Dick Clark was a big loss.

He's been having a lot of health issues lately.  :(

Tom Hanks, I like him. He's nice without seeming pretentiously smug about it, like, "Look, I'm a nice guy, please congratulate me for it!"  ;D
