Alright, folks, since y'all were foolish enough to vote for me to win two contests in a row, this is what ya get...

...this week's contest is all about the celebrity deaths of 2009.

Criteria - must be a person famous enough for someone other than ya to have known 'em and have died in the calender year of 2009.

All other criteria for board avatars apply.

Entries will be accepted from now 'til folks stop postin' 'em...say, Wednesday-ish, if I'm not busy.

Notable celebrity deaths include

Bea Arthur
Dom DeLuise
Ed McMahan
Farrah Fawcett
Henry Gibson
James Whitmore
John Hughes
Natasha Richardson
Lou Albano
Marilyn Chambers
Michael Jackson
Pat Hingle
Patrick Swayze
Ricardo Montalban
Ron Silver
Ted Kennedy
Walter Cronkite
Brittaney Murphy

- edit, to add -

Thinkin' I'll either go with Patrick Swayze -

Opinions, if any?
 
Guess I should mention, this contest is open to scifi-themed entries, since one of my own possibilities is from Batman (1989).
 
Zion beat me to the punch, but I couldn't not post this as it's one of my favorite movies ever:

JiNX beat me to Cronkite, so here's a Michael Jackson tribute- he changed his looks so many times, I thought it would be easier to just put up his Hollywood Star!

Obviously, I didn't list every celebrity death of the year...I went through a list I found online, and picked what I thought were some of the most notable names on it.

Entries shouldn't be limited by what I posted.
