Celebrity Death List 2013

It's that time of year again.  No, not the holidays.  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)

2012's brought this list (deaths are in red):   Muhammad Ali - 70, Bob Barker - 88, Chuck Berry - 85, Ray Bradbury - 91, Gary Busey - 67, George HW Bush - 87, Jimmy Carter - 87, Fidel Castro - 85, Dick Clark - 82, Tim Conway - 78, Macaulay Culkin - 31, Charlie Daniels - 75, Doris Day - 89, Kirk Douglas - 95, Aretha Franklin - 69, Zsa Zsa Gabor - 94, James Garner - 83, Robin Gibb - 62, Billy Graham - 93, Andy Griffith - 85, Larry Hagaman - 80, Merle Haggard - 75, Etta James - 73, Russel Johnson - 87 (Gilligan's Island), Ke$ha - 24, Larry King - 78, Harper Lee - 85, Jerry Lewis - 85, Lindsay Lohan - 25, Courtney Love - 47, Rose Marie - 85, Penny Marshal - 69, Taylor Momson - 18, Peter O'Toole - 79, Joe Paterno - 85, Prince Philip - 90, Nancy Reagan - 90, Carl Reiner - 89, Keith Richards - 68, Mickey Rooney - 91, Charlie Sheen - 46, Margaret Thatcher - 86

And then there were the deaths we didn't expect and that hit us hard including Michael Clarke Duncan, Davy Jones, Norah Ephron, Neil Armstrong, Maurice Sendak, Whitney Houston, and others.

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