I met Cloris Leachman almost 40 years ago at a theater where I was an Usher and she was doing a play there and she was absolutely gracious treated me like a normal human being took the time to talk to me before the show started. Rest in peace my passing acquaintance.

Yaphet kotto was one of best and most tallented actors in the industry and super underrated!

"Time waits for no man" and obviously, no woman either. So many. They will be missed. RIP.

Norman Lloyd.. Loved him in St. Elsewhere! So many great actors and actresses. Olympia and my favourite Canadian actor Christopher Plummer. Beatty was great, Thompson too! Leachman was a great actress. Cicely Tyson, an absolutely glorious woman and actress. Loved Sounder. Hal Holbrook was a marvel. 🇨🇦❤️😢

This is an excellent video -- thank you. So many good memories of these people. The narrator was tireless.

I am 55 and I know most of these actors from watching their movies. May they Rest In Peace.

I personally consider people who die under 60 a shame. If you make it to 50, you should have a good decade or two left in you. I'm 70 yo, I consider every day I wake up borrowed time.

[gilliankingston]

Thank you so much, many of these are little more than lists with a cause of death; it is none the less sad that these talented people have passed away but at least what you have created are proper, respectful tributes.🌹

Rest In Peace Christopher Plummer and I will always remember you as the handsome Dashing Arthur Wellesley Prince Of Waterloo, Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, Duke of Vitoria, Marquess of Douro, Marquis of Torres Vedras, Count of Vimeiro, Barron Douro, Earl of Mornington, Barron of Mornington, Viscount Wellesley and Duke, Marquess and Viscount Wellington in the 1970 movie Waterloo

Don’t be sad for their death be happy for their life

[kccooper]

Tanya roberts was such beautiful woman, what a terrible loss

[katemaloney]

Tanya Roberts was an Angel, a Bond Girl, and a Marvel Hero; life's resume doesnt get better than that.

[ChordsNetwork]

Man I can't believe Jessica Walter died I'm really heartbroken.
I hope the of archer crew gives her character a good send off.

[XXxCHRISxXX]

Wow Norman Lloyd was 106. He was certainly blessed with a long life on Earth. R.I.P

[rickmozingo]

[theropesofrenovation]

Oh, I didn't know Olympia Dukakis died. I just loved her!

[americanpatriot]

So many good pros that gave so much enjoyment. The way things are going, there won't be anyone left to pass on that anyone over the age of 40 will recognize!! Thank you all for your entertainment for all to enjoy. R.I.P.

Christopher Plummer also played a great Klingon in Star Trek 6" The Undiscovered Country.

I first saw Trisha Noble in and episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

I had no idea Mira Furlan died this year. That makes 7 main cast members of Babylon 5 are gone.

I also had no idea Dustin Diamond died either. The last thing I heard he was doing was some rehab show. Just shows how much I cared about him.

Ned Beatty will always be Otis and Dan Connor's father to me.
