Celebrity Death Pool - 10/6/04

[AntiCoup2K4]

For those of you who have been in a coma, celebrity deaths always happen in sets of three.

This week has already seen the passing of Janet Leigh ("Psycho") and Rodney Dangerfield ("No Respect, I tell ya...")

Who is gonna be the unlucky number #3 this week?

For some reason, I'm getting the vibes that former President Jerry Ford is about to make the big trip (sorry) into the Hereafter.

Your guesses?

2. Eddie Albert - Green Acres.................

He's 96 and has been a real stand-up guy for the environment.

Joyce Jillson, Hollywood and White House astrologer, dies at 58

LOS ANGELES (AP) - As the official astrologer for 20th Century Fox Studios, Joyce Jillson consulted on the best opening days for Fox movies.
She picked the opening date for 1977's "Star Wars" - the second-highest grossing movie of all time.

Jillson, author of a nationally syndicated astrology column who also divined the stars on behalf of the Reagan administration, died Friday at Cedars Sinai Medical Center of kidney failure, said her former husband, Joseph Gallagher. She was 58.

Her daily astrology column has appeared in nearly 200 newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News.

In 1988, Jillson was linked to the Reagan White House after former chief of staff Donald T. Regan wrote in a book that Nancy Reagan consulted astrologers.

the photographer just died. He photographed so many celebrities (in addition to other subjects) that he became famous himself.
