RIP....The Official Dead Thread

[sith_killer_99]

Well, it's been quite a month.

David Carradine
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays
Ed McMahon

Who will be #6?

Sad, to see so many go in such a short time!

 

[bobafrett]

Wiiliam Hung? Who is that?

 

[sith_killer_99]

Edited, Hung was not really dead. It was a BS news article. Hung is the American Idol reject who shot to fame for botching Ricky Martin's "She Bangs".lol

 

[bobafrett]

That's who I thought it was, but I didn't hear anything about him passing, so I thought it might have been another Hung.

Couple possibilities....Patrick Swayze has cancer

Then you have Walter Cronkite who's health isn't too great lately either.

How dare you forget Koko Taylor died the same day as David Carradine?

 

[sith_killer_99]

Queen of the Blues!

Looks like we got our 6th.

Carradine and Taylor June 3rd
Jackson and Fawcett June 25th
McMahon June 23rd
Mays June 28th

Erie, if Mays and McMahon had died on the same day it would have been much more bizzare!:sad:

Add Gale Storm to the list.

Well there is the 2 Triumverates.

This just in: Fred Tavalena.

I remember his routines on the Tonight Show well. And, you've probably heard his voice on many of your favorite cartoon shows, you just didn't know it.

RIP, Fred.

Is this thread only for the "famous" who pass on? We could add that Iowa HS football coach shot by someone this month, too. He was regionally famous. Sad story as well.

fa·mous (fā'məs)
adj.

1. Well or widely known. See Synonyms at noted.
2. First-rate; excellent: had a famous time at the party.


[Middle English, from Anglo-Norman, from Latin fāmōsus, from fāma, fame; see bhā-2 in Indo-European roots.]
fa'mous·ness n.


I would say widely known qualifies.

Actor Karl Malden passed away today; he was 97. I remember him most from the American Express TV commercials he did.

 

[El Chuxter]

I didn't even realize he was still around.

Did the rest of you see the touching tribute to the late Jeff Goldblum on Colbert last night? If not, here it is. It's likely to be the funniest bit on Colbert for at least a day or so.

 

[Bel-Cam Jos]

Spoken by Mr. Goldblum, too.

He also played Gen. Omar Bradley in the movie Patton. 97...wow. He sure lived a long life. I hope I make it to half that age.

We can now add another icon to the list... Molly Sugden.

RIP Mrs Slocombe and her *****. (Edit: What??? It's her cat!!!!)

Golden Globe-winning actor Harve Presnell has died. The 75-year-old star of 'Fargo' succumbed to pancreatic cancer on Tuesday at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif, EW.com and the Associated Press are reporting.

I can't say I saw Fargo, so I don't really know his work.

I can't say I saw Fargo, so I don't really know his work.

Check him out in the musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown with Princess Leia's mom. That man had a set of pipes!

I saw that. Very funny bit. Goldblum has been on Colbert alot recently.

You see the bit he did about the fly President Obama killed?
