Van Johnson DEAD!

Roland West predicted Van Johnson's death, and gets 8 points for the 92 yr old actor. More interesting is....IF this is the last name to die on anyone's list, then Roland will get a 10-point bonus which will put him in 2nd place ahead of Matt Hanks. I know you are all hoping for some more deaths, so don't give up. Sandy and Sherry have made some bad choices, and have not scored any points yet.

Mark: JHealey59 pts + 10 bonus= 69
Matt: Heston 16 pts=16
Roland: Witmark 07 pts, VJohnson 08 pts(+10 bonus?)
Sandy: 0
Sherry: 0

Charlton Heston DEAD at 84

Charlton Heston did not do small.

Matt Hanks scores 16 points for his death.

Heston, the Oscar-winning actor who, as the biggest male star of Hollywood's outsize epic era of the 1950s and 1960s, parted the Red Sea, raced chariots and battled gorilla tyranny, died Saturday at his Beverly Hills home.

He was 84, his family said. He had been battling Alzheimer's disease for years.

In a statement, Heston's family acknowledged that their patriarch was viewed as larger than life, and reminded that, offscreen, he was no less imposing.

Roland gets on Board: Richard Widmark DEAD

BOSTON (Reuters) - Actor Richard Widmark, who earned an Oscar nomination playing a psychopath in 1947's film noir "Kiss of Death," has died aged 93, a medical official in his home state of Connecticut said on Wednesday. Roland West predicted it and scored 7 points.

Widmark was blond and slightly built during his prime and brought an edgy nervousness to the outcasts and heavies he played in Hollywood's film noir heyday -- a list of roles that The New York Times once described as a "gallery of reprobates."

Widmark, whose long career was marked by playing villains, tough guys and cowboys, died on Monday at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, the Times reported.

Jeff Healey DEAD

The house band at the Double Deuce has lost its leader.

Grammy-nominated guitar great Jeff Healey, who rocked Patrick Swayze's Road House, died Sunday at a hospital in Toronto of the cancer that left him sightless as a child. He was 41.

Top 40 fans may remember Healey for the 1988 soulful hit, "Angel Eyes." Bad-movie fans surely and fondly remember Healey as Road House's Cody, the blind musician who memorably observed of Swayze's philosophizing, Tai Chi-posing bouncer, James Dalton, "I thought you'd be bigger."

Bryan Adams, a Canadian like Healey, remembered his countryman more simply, calling him one of his nation's "greatest talents."

"It is a huge regret to have to say goodbye," Adams said Monday, per the Canadian Press. "Wherever you are Jeff, we remember rocking with you."

Born March 25, 1966, in Toronto, Healey was stricken with retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye, at age one.
