4:40 Eddie Albert... it should be noted that Eddie saved the lives of over 100 Marines on the Island of Tarawa during WW II. He was a true hero

Johnny Carson was the best host, and always will be.

Eddie Albert was 99 when he died. His son, Edward Albert disclosed after Eddie’s death that his true birth year was 1906 not 1908. It was done to protect Eddie’s mother who gave birth to him out of wedlock.

Many of us who grew up watching Gilligan's Island will always remember Bob Denver as Gilligan. RIP, little buddy!

Between drugs and bad burns, Richard lived much longer than I expected.

Odd how many famous people are left out of these videos yet they never miss the passing of a professional wrestler no matter how obscure and unknown they may be.

Thank u & God bless u, for bringing back good memories, from those who have gone b4 us.

In 1979, when I was working at Alexander's dept. Store. On 59th street & Lexington Ave., in NYC I met Nipsy Russell, in person. Nice gentleman. He shook my hand & signed an autograph, for me. Very gracious fella.🕊

John Vernon played the Mayor of San Francisco in Dirty Harry.

Nipsey Russell was 87 when he passed away, you have him at 80.

I was a little surprised that Barney Martin, of Seinfeld fame, was not included. He had passed away on March 21, 2005.

First time I remember seeing Barbara Bel geddes in a movie it was I Remember Mama. Wonderful movie

[margaretrielly]

I enjoy your tributes. Was just a little disappointed not to see one for Teresa Wright, who died in 2005 within a few months of her "Best Years of Our Lives" costar Virginia Mayo. She was so good.
