Art Linkletter, Gary Coleman, #3?...

I know this is a popular myth, but honestly, celebrity deaths do not come in threes. A percentage of them die throughout any calendar year, just like the rest of the population. It's just that some of them aren't as prominent or widely reported as others.

Some of the more notable ones who have died so far in 2010 are Art Linkletter, Dorothy Provine, Fess Parker, J.D. Salinger, Jean Simmons, John Forsythe, June Havoc, Kaythryn Grayson, Lena Horne, Lynn Redgrave, Merlin Olsen, Pernell Roberts, Peter Graves, Peter Haskell, Robert Culp and Teddy Pendergrass.

I suppose next you’re going to tell me there’s no such thing as Santa Claus.........

Robert culp is dead? Darn. I remember him as the FBI guy from The Greatest American Hero, and in that Harlan Ellison episode of Outer Limits about the computer hand.

Maybe it’s just me, but when I hear of them (and I heard of all of them) they were in threes; not necessarily with other “famous” persons, but with notables, anyway.

Three (and seven) are found throughout the Scriptures, Old and New, so why wouldn’t they apply to death? Or birth, for that matter? Or pregnancies? Car accidents? Household accidents? Personal problems? The list goes on...

Didn’t realize all those folks had passed. I knew about some, but not all.

Just saw Airplane 3 with Peter Graves. Funny scene where he is trying to disconnect a computer (spoof of 2001’s Hal) and it gives off this overpowering smoke...to the tune of the theme from Mission Impossible. Describing it in print doesn’t do it justice — you had to see it.

Rest in peace to all, including Mr. Coleman.

Thanks for posting that list. I was aware of several, but not all. Another to add to your list is Ronnie James Dio who passed last week, if I’m not mistaken on the date.
