I cried like a baby when Heath Ledger and Paul Newman died, my love goes out to their family and friends.

Beverly Garland’s name is missing, too.

Here is a site, that seems to be up to date with those who’ve gone before us.

Eartha’s last name has 2 T’s at the end.
Thank you for adding her.

I found this about TCM, while looking up the actor/photographer Delmar Watson.
Unfortunately, he died also in 2008 & isn’t on the tribute.

Well, they tried their best, it’s hard for them to get EVERYONE. I’m sure their intentions were pure, I don’t think they are saying that one person is more important than the other, it’s just the ones they knew about.

Timothy M. Nolan says:

They forgot Richard Wright of Pink Floyd also. They’ll might mention him at the Grammys I bet. oh well. But I do agree with most of you on actresses of today. Their main focus now is just their trashy image or how good they look in a bikini or trashy looking clothing & not their acting skills.

I agree, Ken
In fact, the page I am getting names from, there are still too many to recall when I come back here. Which, as always is just sad.
I watch the award shows for the tributes, too & it’s always heartbreaking when you see someone you didn’t expect.

There was a different kind of grand beauty, even of those ‘considered’ not so pretty. I see some of those movies now on TCM & can’t believe people didn’t see these women as beautiful.

What we have now, can hardly compare.
In fact, what is even natural now?
And as for carrying themselves with grace…
10 fingers & 10 toes should cover the amount of women in that category.
Don’t hold me to that, as the digits & philanges may outnumber the actresses..

Ken J says:

Yah Lavender, I was going to say you probably only need one hand…

darren says:

Also missing Barry Morse whose long career included The Zoo Gang, The Fugitive and Space 1999.

Cmets says:

They also missed Kim Chan. the Uncle Benny from Lethal Weapon 4

Don S. Davis (Major General George Hammond) is missing in this sad list, too.

Ken J says:

WHAT??? How did I not hear about this? I didn’t even know Mr. Davis died! Wow, that sucks, I have every season of Stargate SG1 on DVD and have seen through the entire series at least 3 times, the older seasons probably up to 5 times. I love that show, and Gen. Hammond was my favorite SGC leader!! Oh wow, that really sucks. But he wasn’t really a big time hollywood actor. I think the biggest movie I remember him being in is A League of Their Own, and he didn’t have a huge role in it either. But he had a huge part in Stargate…

Bettie Page will be greatly missed. She has been a great icon for many folks including Dita Von Tease.

who sings this haunting song in the memorial tribute to a stellar group of individuals who have passed this past year.My mother passed only a couple of weeks ago and was a huge fan of Paul newman. She resembled Suzanne Pleshette as well.Love to all that are no longer with us

Kari W says:

I realize Kelly Preston is not a ‘big name’ actress, but I can’t even imagine how doubly crappy it feels that everyone is telling John and “his family” how sorry they are about Jett and not many outlets are even recognizing the other half of this family’s grief. For shame!

Martin says:

Harold Pinter?

Dale says:

Don S. Davis? Of Twin Peaks and Stargate fame…

Ken J says:

Yah, someone mentioned this a few posts back. I’m surprised I didn’t hear about this. I guess it’s because I didn’t follow Atlantis and he was still alive at the end of SG-1’s run, which I kept up with, own every season… That guy seemed so cool… no more Hammond of Texas… :’(

mathiscool says:

Post above by Lavendergreen said that Delmar Watson wasn’t listed on the tribute, but he was; I only mention that, Lavendergreen, in case it was still bothering you. The tribute makes me sad for all those we have lost, and it’s too bad that not all were listed who perhaps should have been listed, but I appreciate the effort and the tasteful remembrance.
