Five and Six?

Five and Six?

The other day, I remarked about that annoying belief that celebrity deaths occur in threes.  If Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson were the latest triplet, pitchman Billy Mays might have been the first of a new set, unless Big Ed was the second or third in a different set.

Actress Gale Storm and impressionist Fred Travalena just passed away, too.  So they’re either sitting with Mays or part of someone else’s morbid triplet.

Regardless of any pattern that might or might not exist, and likely doesn’t at all, it’s definitely been a while since I remember seeing this many famous people pass away in so few days.

    Gale Storm? Really? I loved “My Little Margie” when I was a kid. A couple of years ago I found an autobiography she had written on Ebay, really cheap, so I bought it. It was autographed, even!
