RIP Roger Moore at age 89

By my calculations that should be 36 points for me. 21 base points plus 15 for a unique pick.

Don Rickles is not highlighted on the spreadsheet, but it looks like he's included in those scores.

With so many celebrity deaths off the table in 2016, it's no surprise that 2017 has been a bit dry.

"Jam scene patriarch Col. Bruce Hampton died on stage during the final moments of a benefit concert honoring his 70th birthday at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on Monday night. Hampton passed out with nearly the entire all-star lineup for Hampton 70: A Celebration Of Col. Bruce Hampton surrounding him as the “Turn On Your Lovelight” finale was nearing a conclusion."

I was out of the country and just going through the 2017 list and came across this:

Quote:

Jean Stein, an author who wrote best-selling oral histories, died in New York City on April 30. She was 83. Jean died in a fall from her 15th floor apartment at 10 Gracie Square, on the East Side of Manhattan.

I don't know her, but seems an unusual way for an 83 year old to die.
