In the 1990s, I went to a Sci-Fi Convention and I happened to
meet a TV personality from one of my favorite shows. But, the
encounter was bitter sweet. Although it was great seeing a
celebrity in person, the ravages of age on his face and body
were very apparent. You see, every time I saw him on my favorite
show he was young and agile and full of wit.
That brief encounter at the Sci-Fi Convention so many years
ago, boldly enlightened me to the difference between real-life
and fantasy-life. And, as much as I wanted to deny it, I
realized that for us mere mortals, death is inevitable, but for
TV stars, they are rewarded with immortality of a sort. They get
to stay as they were, fixed into a time and place where they can
never grow old and where they stay young forever.
The following web pages provide a summary list of the many late
actors, actresses and other notable Hollywood celebrities who
contributed to the TV industry over the years.
Each entry
contains the person's name, death date, a "Remembered For" entry
and the cause of their death. See also "Suicide"
