2022 RIP thread

[This Is Kirk!]

Stuart Margolin, 82. Known mostly for his role as Angel on The Rockford Files, he also appeared in many movies and television episodes.

Angel died? Oh, man!

Brazilian soccer legend Pelé has died at the age of 82.

Vivienne Westwood, fashion designer, age 81. Usually cited as popularizing punk and new wave fashion and bringing them into the British mainstream.

Longtime CNN anchor Bernard Shaw, who just happened to be "Farrah Fawcetted" by Her Majesty QE2.

If he died from being raped and murdered, would Kitty Dukakis support the death penalty for his killer?

The term "farrah Fawcetted" means to die the same day as someone more famous than you.

Stems from Farrah dying the same day in 2009 as Michael Jackson.

I use the terms "Huxleyed" and "Lewised" since Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis died on the same day as JFK.

Others in this group include Sergei Prokofiev(Died the same day as Joseph Stalin.), Jack Higgins(Died same day as Gilbert Gottfried.), David McCullough(Died same day as Olivia Newton-John.), and of course Pat Carroll(Sandwiched between Bill Russell and Nichelle Nichols.)

Meat Loaf/Louis Anderson is debatable for me.

Vivienne Westwood. Died on the same day as Pele.

I had forgotten that!
From Time magazine: Years later, Dukakis would recall his response, saying, "I have to tell you, and maybe I'm just still missing it ... I didn't think it was that bad."

So... there's that.

Thanks. My bad. The Washington Post has been running recaps of obits for the year, but this was in a different place, which led me to think it was new.

I hope he's restricting his request to just notable ones, otherwise we're going to need a bigger server.
