So I'd like to ask, how many of the celebrities who appeared on The Muppet Show are still alive?
I know the following are reportedly still with us:
Diana Ross
Deborah Harry
Gladys Knight
Shirley Bassey
Hal Linden
Melissa Manchester
Alice Cooper
Linda Ronstadt
Glenda Jackson
Leslie Uggams
Harry Belafonte
Sylvester Stallone
Raquel Welch
Cheryl Ladd
Elton John
Rich Little
Twiggy
Candice Bergen
Paul Simon
That's a sufficient number of The Muppet Show celebrities who are still with us. Though I did learn that Linda Ronstadt was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease - implying that her health may be in decline now. However, I am thinking there are more celebrities I didn't name that are still alive.
However, I am quite surprised that there are at least two celebrities who appeared during the first season who are still alive.
