Kirk Douglas (6) + Ruth Ginsberg (23) + Jackie Charlton (25) = 54 points

Alexei Navalny was just about past the post. The form guide was good by Putin just couldn't find the quality henchmen needed to ride out the event.



Ok looks like Brudder_A is our winner for 2020 with 54 points. Congratulations! I’ll shoot a PM regarding the $20 bonus bet I have for you. When the bet is made I’ll advise in this thread so we can cheer it on. Well OneOne will be death riding but the rest of us will be cheering.

 Earl Cameron, Olivia and Carl Reiner met their maker. Believe it or not, Norman Lloyd is still holding on, at 106. He must be locked away in a vault.

 Terence Stamp
 Clint Eastwood
 Glynis Johns
 Christopher Plummer

I think I scored 19 points, from Kirk and Rhonda.  Who won?

Sean Connery (aged 90. 100 - 90 = 10 points + 10 points for a selection = 20 points).
And you need to have a twenty or thirty year old actor in the list so I will go one of the actors from Home And Away that met that criteria.

Good luck everyone with your lists

Sean Connery = 20 points.

Nowhere near the winning score but thanks to 007's passing I got on the scoreboard.

Not sure about the Home And Away actors but I can not find any of them which died during the eyar so I will take the 20 points. 
Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise

Ok, the time has come to score. Please compile your results and post by end of Sunday next week 10 January and I will award the $20 bonus bet to the winner. 

Please post your results as follows:

- Go back to your original entry and quote it
- To the right of each selection that died please add their age at death and then how many points they score (100 minus age at death plus 10)
- At the bottom of the post put the total score for all your selections
- I’m not going back through the thread to find previously compiled scores so please do this even if you have done already in the last couple of weeks.  


I won’t bother with mine as I appear to have managed a duck egg.

Sad to hear that news.  Watching Gilligans Island on afternoon tv as a kid, I always found Mary Ann cuter than Ginger.


Mary Ann always use to get more fan mail that Ginger.

Ginger is the last one left!

Samuel Little, America's most prolific serial killer dies age 80. 60  murders confirmed, 93 claimed and likely true.

I do not want to jinx Ron Flowers, but a lot of those type of awards, which could have given years before, are often handed out when the recipient is not in good health and is at God's waiting room.
He could be an outsider for our 2021 Dead Poll.
