Somehow I doubt she would have fit the criteria for this contest.
Who the F is Susan Sontag?

The most recent stiff.

Sontag died Tuesday morning, officials at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (search) said.

Right up the street!! I've really gotta get out of the VA so I can see famous people die!

Oh yeah Shane... let me tell you it's thrilling to work at a hospital where famous people die!

(I'm at Northwestern Memorial Hospital)

I sense sarcasm in your post, but don't understand it... If I've gotta see people die, they might as well be famous right?!?! More fun that way!

They always say that deaths come in pairs and we have had 2 sports related deaths, Johnny Oates and Reggie White I would guess that another sports figure will go soon.

she was a pretty well known author. I think she would have fit the criteria-she was pretty famous, and the news of her death has been covered on all the news programs today.

We have got a new stiff - Hank Garland. Who is Hank Garland you ask? He played guitar on some of Elvis's songs. The money is still out there. We have 2 sports deaths and 2 semi-known entertainers who's next?

I just read that her former bodyguard has filed a lawsuit against her because she forced him to have sex with her to keep his job. My question is... is being Liza Minelli's bodyguard that great of a job that you actually submit to her demand for sex?

A major 20th century politcal figure that is a communist dictator. (I hope)

But that would start a new death trifecta. I am leaning towards a former game show host and current morning talk show host.

We have a passing that completes the entertainers trifecta - Jerry Orbach from Law & Order died this morning. Sail on Jerry! The pot is still up for grabs.

Damn, I didn't hear that. Law & Order is my favorite non-animated show, and Lenny Briscoe was definitely the strongest character. Was he sick? That may explain his recent departure from the show. Sail on Jerry...

I heard that too (though it hasn't yet made the CNN website)-very sad. It had been reported that he was doing well, and he was supposed to go to the new Law & Order show.

By the way, in addition to his TV work, he had a long career on stage, including numerous musicals, and was in the original cast of the Fantastiks.

Oh, no!!! I sure hate to hear that he died. I loved him on L&O!
