Dead Or Alive?

I've had this very conversation with my mother dozens of times:
"Remember whats'er name? She played the girl in that dumb movie with whoziss. What ever happened to her?"

Usually, it reverts into either some kind of "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" discussion, or a "I think she might be dead" conversation. Well, if you're wondering who's dead and who's still alive and kicking, check out the Dead People Server.

Maureen O'Sullivan? Dead. Maureen O'Hara? Alive.
Bing Crosby? Dead. David Crosby? Alive (except for his liver).
Rod Steiger? Dead. Roy Scheider? Alive.
Ed Sullivan? Dead. Ed McMahon? Alive.

They even have a "Dead People Rumors" page.

By the way, if you're really morbid (and you might like to make some cash off of it), check out the Dead Pool. It's kind of like an NCAA tournament pool, only instead of picking the team you think will win the national basketball championship, you pick ten celebrities you think will kick off before the year is over. The winner gets about $2,000. The person in the lead right now has picked six correctly so far.

One of my co-workers is a pretty active dead-pooler. Every now and then, when someone (like, for example, Idi Amin) dies, he'll be beaming with pride at his desk.

Morbid? You Betcha.
