What is going on with our famous people? They're all dying.

So, today....

Karl Malden, 97, from movies such as A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, and TV series Streets of San Francisco.

Mollie Sugden, 86, better known to us as Mrs. Slocombe from Are You Being Served? Which is surprising because Wendy Richard, who played Miss Brahms, died a few months ago. Apparently, the only main actors still alive are Captain Peacock, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. Rumbold. (All three of them are on Last of the Summer Wine, so that may have something to do with it.)

Also, David Carradine's autopsy shows that he died from asphyxiation, but nothing to indicate suicide.

It's true -- wine does make you live longer!

Goddamnit, Patrick Swayze. emot-frown You were so handsomely ridiculous. And a terrible drag queen. You shall be missed.

Mylene · Back to Top

emot-frown You kind of knew it was coming, but still...he was just sort of the adult hearthrob of the 80s and early 90s, so it's sad to hear.

Nilamarthiel · Back to Top

I've never seen any of his movies, but it still makes my heart hurt. emot-frown

Raven Nightshade · Back to Top

emot-aaa You've never seen a Patrick Swayze movie?! OH, you poor deprived child!

Watch Dirty Dancing, first and foremost. Then watch To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. And once you've gotten over seeing Wesley Snipes in drag, watch The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. No, Patrick Swayze's not in it, but you get Hugo Weaving instead.

Cherry · Back to Top

I only really saw Dirty Dancing, but I loved it enough to be sadden! T_T RIP Mister Swayze!

Mylene · Back to Top

I hadn't seen a Swayze flick in years, but this past spring I finally watched To Wong Fu. LOVED IT. Oh, it was crazy, silly, goofy, sappy...but it was fun! As soon as I finished it I put Priscilla in my Netflix queue (although admittedly, it's still near the bottom.)

Usui Yoshito, the creator of Crayon Shin-chan has been found dead. He had been missing for several days when a body was found that appeared to be his and has since been confirmed.

Our celebrities just can't keep breathing. RIP Brittany Murphy.

Wow, this entire thread is so freakin' sad. emot-frown

That one was rather shocking. I'm curious to see what the police investigation might reveal.

In other news, Ayatollah Montazeri, well-respected Iranian cleric who was influential and a reformer, also passed away this weekend.

Yeah, you never expect it at such a young age... She didn't seem to be the troubled type.

Also, Roy Disney passed away a few days ago...

Brittany Murphy is also dead from a supposed heart attack. [At 32? :|]

Not to be rude or come over all ONTD or /b/-ish, but... I forget why she is/was famous. Honestly, I can't remember seeing anything with her in it.

lex · Back to Top

I'm saddened by her passing away, she was Tai in Clueless one of my favorite movies ever, she was also in 8 mile, Sin City, Just Married, Spun, Drop Dead Gorgeous....and some other films. Just so sad and so random....and she was only 32? I wanted to watch Cluless today but I'll just be too sad. emot-frown

Brittany Murphy was in "Clueless" with Alicia Silverstone.

She also had a small part in "Girl, Interrupted."

Yeah, Clueless was her biggest role; much as I hate to admit it, I love that movie. She was in a number of flop films and romantic comedies, but she did get some cool points for her role in Girl, Interrupted. She also voiced Luanne on King of the Hill, one of my biggest guilty pleasure shows.

King of the Hill is actually a pretty good show.

I have NO IDEA that Luanne's voice is by Brittany Murphy O_o
But, isn't Luanne a big role in the show? What happens now?

I thought King of the Hill already had its series finale?

But yes, the only one of her movies I've ever seen was Sin City, and I probably couldn't pick her out in the movie. [God, that sounds so rude, but it's true. emot-frown ]

Duelist Megu · Back to Top

Nil, see Clueless. It's probably my favorite movie of all time.

Hiraku, it's hard to tell it's her voice in KotH because the accent is so thick in that show, and for her character, that they might as well add subtitles. Which does her a credit, that she can do that.

In the circle of stars dying young: Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was found dead earlier today. He was 28 years old.

Never been a big fan of Avenged Sevenfold, but I have enjoyed a few songs; He was a truly talented musician. RIP.

Hiraku · Back to Top

Wow... 2009 certainly is a year where we used this thread most often to date.
Perhaps there will be births of new talented stars... emot-frown

Hiraku · Back to Top

Double post, sorry.

She's no celebrity, but I personally feel she deserves to be mentioned.
RIP, Miep Gise http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/01 … index.html

Man, that's so sad! She cheered up everyone in that house - it always seemed so exciting for them (and us) when she'd come over! At least she was able to live a very long life. Yeah, RIP Beloved Miep!
