I hope not. Otherwise I'll have to die just to prove a point. And I'm not even sure what the point is, which would make it even lamer.

Not many days left to die and make it into this thread - of course there's always the possibility of the RIP 2010 thread being created

No, does it really seem likely that people will die two years in a row?

make that two decades - kinda blows your mind huh?

Arnold Stang - RIP :(

Best line - "I think we're gonna have to kill him!:

I had to read the article to know who he was, but Mad Mad World is one of my fav movies ever.

This makes me wonder which of that film's major players is still alive...

Jonathan Winters
Mickey Rooney

....

Yeah, it was a long time ago. I learned everything I know about Hollywood stars from watching that movie as a kid.

I always liked Arnold Stang's cartoon voices.

Oh hell yes. I LOVE that movie.

So quotable!
"Neville, you know how much I hate explosions."

"...except you, lady. You can just DROP DEAD!"

"Everybody pays taxes!- Even businessmen, who rob and cheat and steal from people everyday, even they have to pay taxes!"

"Nobody's gonna get me up in the air! "

""Where did you get that funny accent? Are you from Harvard or something"

I was 100% certain that Winters is dead. But he's not. Wonder who I was thinking of.

Sid Caesar is still alive. As is Dorothy Provine.

Smaller cameo parts but Peter Falk and Carl Reiner are still around.

And Jerry Lewis (uncredited)

Hell, not only had I thought that Jennifer Jones was dead, I thought that her death had previously been reported and that at that time I had thought she was dead.

I hope she sticks with it this time.
