  1966 was the year Walt Disney died and I was born the day Alma Cogan died. Very few people born after about 1963 would know about her! She was a huge start in her day!

  1987
  
  Ray Bolger
  Budd Dwyer
  Liberace
  Andy Warhol
  Fred Astaire
  Jackie Gleason
  Rudolph Hess
  Lee Marvin
  Jaco Pastorius
  Mike Von Erich
  
  Just the names I recognised from the list. Mike Von Erich is probably the saddest one in the list, just from what happened to basically the whole Von Erich family.
