This new year is not getting off to a good start as far as celebrities I like are concerned.

It's a good thing celebrities don't die in fours...

And it's scary that I kinda had the same thought as you when I saw this RIP. Three celebrities way down the on the letter list of famous people, but who are kinda neat and likable in a nostalgic way, all dead at the same time. I normally only find the RIPs noteworthy in a record keeping kind of way, but these today make me a little sad...

All three were born in 1942. Hmmmm.

Has anyone checked on Sir Paul, lately?

What an interesting list. In my mind, it seems there is a wide disparity in the ages I'd have guessed of many of these people.

Britt Ekland having phone sex with Michael Caine in Get Carter, one of many great scenes in a great movie that I fondly remember from my youth.

And now she's 76.

God, I feel old.
