Celebrity Death Watch 2015

It's that time of year again.  It's time for the annual Celebrity Death List.

In 2011, I predicted 6 deaths correctly (author Lillian Jackson Braun - 97, actor Peter Falk - 83, Kim Jong-il - 69, Andy Rooney - 91, Elizabeth Taylor -78, and Amy Winehouse - 27).

In 2012, I correctly predicted 7 with Ray Bradbury - 91, Dick Clark - 82, Robin Gibb - 62, Andy Griffith - 85, Larry Hagaman - 80, Etta James -73, and Joe Paterno - 85.

2013 was a down year for my predictions with only 4.  Patty Andrew - 94, Nelson Mandela -  95, Peter O'Toole - 81, and Margaret Thatcher - 87 all died this past year.  However, we also lost those we didn't expect, like Paul Walker, James Gandolfini, Cory Monteith,

In 2014, I hit 8 correct predictions with actress and screen legend Lauren Bacall - 89, Sid Caesar - 91, actor (and one of my favorites) James Garner - 86), author PD James - 94, actor (The Professor from Gilligan's Island) Russel Johnson - 89, lawyer (and sister of author Harper Lee) Alice Lee - 103, actor Mickey Rooney - 93, and world leader Ariel Sharon - 85.

Who knows what this next year will bring.  Hopefully nothing too heartbreaking but... without further ado....
