Deadpool 2023

 

My traditional annual guess at notable people who won’t make it to 2024.

• Neil Percival Young (Musician)
• Gina Lollobrigida (Actress, Photojournalist, & Sculptor)
• James Earl Carter Jr. (39th POTUS)
• Michael Caine (Actor)
• Anthony Dominick Benedetto a.k.a Tony Bennett (Singer)
• Melvyn Hayes (English actor & voiceover artist)
• Burt Bacharach is (American composer, songwriter, record producer, and pianist)

*New entry for 2023

Deadpool 2021

2020 saw the demise of three out of ten from the list of notable people I thought might not see 2021. In a normal year that would be quite a respectable score. It feels somewhat surprising that it’s “only” three given the ravages of COVID-19. That must say something about statistics.

 

Onward to 2021 and the list for this year’s “mortality lottery” looks like this:

 

Deadpool 2021

• Neil Percival Young (Musician)
• Leslie Samuel Phillips (Actor & Author)
• Gina Lollobrigida (Actress, Photojournalist, & Sculptor)
• James Earl Carter Jr. (39th POTUS)
• Philip Mountbatten (HRH The Duke of Edinburgh)
• Michael Caine (Actor)
• Anthony Dominick Benedetto a.k.a Tony Bennett (Singer)
• Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury (Actress)
• Pope Benedict XVI, born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger (retired prelate of the Catholic Church)
• Kenneth David Kaunda (former President of Zambia)

And the best of luck to them all.
