No one REALLY believes this do they? Every time I hear this stupid superstition it makes me enraged. You might well say that when you sneeze, it's your soul trying to escape and saying god bless you stuffs it back in.

Posted: 6/29/09 at 10:48amAt the rate they are dropping in the past few weeks, I think they come in eights or ninths.

It's human instinct to perceive (or create) patterns in things. And three is a symbolic number in lots of cultures.
But no, I doubt anybody REALLY believes it.

Posted: 6/29/09 at 10:57amI think everyone with an AFTRA or SAG card breathes easier once number 3 occurs.

Posted: 6/29/09 at 11:06amThere used to be a joke in the 70s that Helen Hayes would get very nervous until the 3rd death was announced.

Posted: 6/29/09 at 11:28amAtropos is paid for sets of three. If she only snips one or two threads before the end of the pay period, she doesn't get paid (and they can't carry over to the next pay period). Follow the dollars, always.

Posted: 6/29/09 at 11:32amActually, unless it's a plane crash or something similar, your average celebrity death comes one at a time.

Posted: 6/29/09 at 9:45pmDavid Carradine kicked this round off. The second two have up to 30 days (everything in multiples of 3). Farrah closed the first trio and MJ started the next one.

Very much depends on who you're talking to, Eris. I daresay Bill T Jones, Madonna, Michael Jackson and many others owe a great deal to Pina.
A bit of Pina's choreography. Look for more. It's worth it.
#23celebrity deaths come in threes?
Posted: 6/30/09 at 6:32pmYes, but where are the people waiting in line for three hours or more to put flowers on her star on the walk of fame? Where are the people crying in the streets? That's kinda what I meant. MJ and some of the others have gotten such a huge amount of coverage while Pina is a secondary story on Theatermania
