Who will be next?

It's getting out of hand...David Baddiel suggested via Twitter that perhaps there's a serial killer after the celebs!

They are dropping far too regularly

Another one that went recently was Doris Roberts, least she made it to 90 though. She was most famous for her role as "the mother" in Everybody Loves Raymond.

Didn't realise she was so successful, won 5 Grammies in her 60 year career.

Listening on the radio earlier, Chris Moyles was saying that it's getting eerie now, like watching a movie play out, like "Invasion of the Showbiz Body Snatchers".

All of the recent deaths are down to the baby boom generation which was between 1946 & 1964, so people who became famous in the 1960's are now reaching their 70's.

Maybe there's none of the A list left? Now we're going to move on the B's. So the reality stars are safe for a good few decades

Kenny Baker... died in August...

Whose Kenny Baker I hear you ask?.... Well he played the part of R2D2 in Star Wars and was also in Time Bandits with John Cleese.... Maybe not an A lister but by association with Star Wars and the cult following still after all this time (I saw it when I was 14) he deserves a mention.....

Can't argue with that  I was a mere whipper snapper at 8. Still just as good, and far better than the latest rehash

There was also the lady that played Liesl in The Sound of Music... can't remember her name though, mind you haven't actually watched all of the film
