2010 - another shocking amount of famous deaths

chemical2009b · 16/12/10 - 21:43

You may remember a similar thread I started about how horrific the number of well known deaths was in 2009. I think 2010 has also been shocking but not as horrific as it was last year.

We've had to say goodbye to Michael Foot, Bill McLaren, Harry Carpenter, Lynn Redgrave, Gary Coleman, Leslie Neilsen, Dennis Hopper, Alex Higgins and today Blake Edwards, the list goes on. Hope 2011 is better.

Last year's thread

Maybe it's more a case of there being a shocking amount of famous people?

I thought that too, everbody dies......but do celebs die shockingly and always horrific.

Is it celebrity big brother but on the set of the latest saw movie, your time is up celeb A, its time to get sawn in half.

I was particularly sad at the passing of John Dankworth and Claire Rayner.

Uhm - While it's certainly sad it's sort of inevitable that people are going to die and with all due respect to the people mentioned in the thread I'm sure that a lot more meaningful people in the world have died as well this year.

So as well as "Famous Deaths" perhaps we should mourn the passing of all those that have died this year and not just those in the entertainment industry.

He was 82, makes your point somewhat moot. I think 82 can be seen as a rather good innings regardless of weight.

It is a Showbiz forum so the fact that they are celebrities seems particularly relevant in this case.

Considering this is a Showbiz Forum, people have every right to focus on celebs without being patronised by posts like this.

I can't see how you could confuse them!

Jean Simmons was a legendary British actress who became a star in Davin Lean's Great Expectations.

She went to Hollywood and starred with Richard Burton in the very first Cinemascope film, The Robe, Brando in Desiree and Guys and Dolls, Gregory Peck in The Big Country, Kirk Douglas in Spartacus, and Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry. She was a contemporary of Liz Taylor, but a far better actress.

She never got the acclaim, or the Oscar that she so deserved.

He did. About a day before my birthday, I think.
