This year has sadly seen a number of prominent people depart. I doubt anyone is unaware of MJ’s passing, but there were many others.
Here’s a sketch from a t-shirt showing famous people who have died this year (names at the bottom).
Even outside the world of celebrities and glamor, it seemed to be a year full of weddings and funerals. May the dead rest in peace and may the wedded have hope.
Patrick Swayze, Jim Carroll, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Dominick Dunne, John Hughes, Walter Cronkite, Ted Kennedy, Dash Snow, Les Paul, Karl Malden, Billy Mays, Bea Arthur, Ed Mcmahon, Dom Deluise, David Carradine, JG Ballard, Ricardo Montalban, Marilyn Chambers, Captain Lou Albano, Soupy Sales, John Updike, Ken Ober, Jeanne Claude


is it Jeanne Claude (Van Damee) of Hollywood the last one ?
No, that’s the artist Jeanne-Claude. She died in November, aged 74. I also thought it was the actor until I looked at the spelling (his name is Jean-Claude Van Damme) and the portrait which looks nothing like him.
world wont forget Michael Jackson for decades,for sure
Its really horrible yar.
