OK - we can finally put this one to rest: Mary Anne was the hot one.

The Stiffs
For the 32nd year running, our fondest farewells to the recently departed. If they were on anybody’s list, or mattered at all, they’re here. Looking for everybody? Try the Directory.
Died December 26, 2020 · Age 81
Phil Niekro
His nickname was "Knucksle". Seriously. How does anyone just let something that stupid be their nickname?
Died December 7, 2020 · Age 78
Dick Allen
He wore a batting helmet in the field to protect himself from objects thrown from the stands. Philadelphia: Queen of our Cities.
Died December 4, 2020 · Age 73
David Lander
Sure, he was Squiggy. But he was also the voice of Smart Ass, the chief weasel of Judge Doom's Toon Patrol in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
Died November 23, 2020 · Age 93
David Dinkins
First black mayor of New York City. He lost to Rudy Giuliani in 1993, which at the time seemed reasonable. Not so much now.
Died November 7, 2020 · Age 93
Norm Crosby
He was called "The Master of Malaprop", which is where you purposely use the wrong word in a sentence, making it hilarious. For example, saying "You could have knocked me over with a fender." We assume the word "hilarious" meant something different back in the 60's.
Died October 12, 2020 · Age 108
Roberta McCain
Died at 108, outliving 2 of her 3 kids. Pretty badass, honestly.
Died October 11, 2020 · Age 77
Joe Morgan
Considered the greatest second baseman of all time. Sorry. That's all we got. Sports figures with NO scandals are just impossible. The guy was even accused of being a drug mule, and that turned out to be completely false. If we come up with something, we'll let you know.
Died October 2, 2020 · Age 84
Bob Gibson
"He'd knock down his own grandmother if she dared to challenge him," is actually a compliment for a pitcher. Few things are as boring here as scandal-free athletes.
Died September 18, 2020 · Age 87
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We think we speak for most Americans when we say: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!
Died September 10, 2020 · Age 82
Diana Rigg
A Lannister always pays their debt, but a Tyrell pretty much always dies.
Died September 6, 2020 · Age 72
Mike Sexton
The Commissioner sat next to him at a charity poker tournament 6 years ago. He leaned over and asked him "Did you know what I was holding the last hand?" He said "I know what you're holding every hand. Maybe drink less." Kinda liked him.
Died August 11, 2020 · Age 97
Sumner Redstone
Lots of money, two ex-wives, a handful of kids, gave some money to charities, a lot to political campaigns, and tried to have a reporter from MTV killed. It's the resume of every rich guy in LA.
Died August 1, 2020 · Age 85
Wilford Brimley
Believe it or not, in 1985 he was 20 years younger than all the other actors in Cocoon.
Died July 30, 2020 · Age 74
Herman Cain
Crazy. He was completely healthy at a rally in Tulsa last month, and now he's dead of Covid. Hard to imagine.
Died July 26, 2020 · Age 104
Olivia de Havilland
Do you know how many ways there are for deadpoolers to spell this name wrong? Well, we do. SO glad she's dead.
Died July 25, 2020 · Age 88
Lou Henson
Somehow the winningest basketball coach at Illinois made it through the Fame Committee. They probably thought he was the Muppets guy.
Died July 6, 2020 · Age 83
Charlie Daniels
How can you not respect the man that wrote the lyrics "Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough, Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no."?
Died June 29, 2020 · Age 98
Carl Reiner
It looks like his autobiography "Too Busy To Die" will need to be published posthumously.
Died May 15, 2020 · Age 86
Fred Willard
He said he was born in 1939, but census records (and his daughter) say he was born in 1933. So your beloved comedian was a liar.
Died May 11, 2020 · Age 92
Jerry Stiller
The 2020 Airing of Grievances will not be postponed in his honor.
Died May 9, 2020 · Age 87
Little Richard
From the early, early mornin' till the early, early night
The embalmer dealin' with this hairdo gonna say it still ain't right.
Died May 8, 2020 · Age 75
Roy Horn
He always blamed himself for getting mauled onstage by a tiger. In his defense, everyone else blamed him, too.
Died April 15, 2020 · Age 81
Brian Dennehy
It is highly unlikely that Callahan Auto is going to recover from this.
Died April 7, 2020 · Age 93
Herb Stempel
For 7 points - who was the schmuck who cheated at game shows and ended up with absolutely nothing?
Died April 4, 2020 · Age 73
Tom Dempsey
Even we have to tip our hat to an NFL placekicker born without toes.
Died April 3, 2020 · Age 79
Ira Einhorn
The Unicorn Killer was the rare combo of convicted murderer and environmental activist.
Died March 8, 2020 · Age 90
Max von Sydow
It takes some range to play Jesus Christ and Ming the Merciless.
Died March 4, 2020 · Age 100
Javier de Cuellar
He finally relinquished his grip on the coveted claim of being the oldest living former Peruvian prime minister.
Died March 2, 2020 · Age 93
James Lipton
The fact that he was a pimp in Paris for a time seems to have been overshadowed by his skill at interviewing actors.
Died February 26, 2020 · Age 88
Clive Cussler
Check out his latest book "Decomposing Old White Guy".
Died February 8, 2020 · Age 89
Robert Conrad
He recorded a song called Bye Bye Baby, acted in Wild Wild West and Baa Baa Black Sheep and is now busy working on his latest project, Bye Bye Bobby.
Died January 26, 2020 · Age 41
Kobe Bryant
Dude goes down in a helicopter with his daughter and you came here to see what nasty thing we write about him? What is WRONG with you?
Just kidding. We couldn't think of anything.
Died January 8, 2020 · Age 89
Buck Henry
Say what you will about the guy who played the pedophile babysitter on SNL - we liked him.
Died January 1, 2020 · Age 90
Don Larsen
First stiff of the year, and it's a Yankee. 2020 is looking good already.
Died January 1, 2020 · Age 77
David Stern
NBA commish for 30 years and only had FOUR lockouts! Talk about your overachiever!
