There are so many great talents who've passed on that really left an intriguing mark on our music and entertainment business, and without them the entertainment world really sucks. People like Randy Rhoads, Nancy Spungen, Sid Vicious, Cliff Burton, just to name a few.

Not really an 80's actor, but what about Chris Farley.
Posted by leopardpantsmoodlipstick (Member # 916) on :
I agree. I miss John Candy and River Pheonix. I enjoyed "cool runnings." "Trains,plains and automobiles." and "Stand by me." These are only a few of their best. What was your favorites?

I didn't know Mark from Roseanne died...how did he die? He was pretty young.
Posted by celticbabe (Member # 664) on :
shegotgame,
I was shocked last year when I found out- I'm a pretty big fan of the Roseanne show and I thought Mark was great, it really is such a tragedy- a talented, good looking Irishman gone at such a young age.
Although not all of them are considered as 80's acts, here is my list:
(in no particular order)
John Belushi John Lennon George Harrison John Candy Walter Matthau Stevie Ray Vaughn Concert promoter Bill Graham Wolfman Jack Michael Hutchence (of INXS) Sir Alec Guinness Benny Hill Stuart Adamson (of the group Big Country) Peter Sellers Jack Lemmon John Entwistle (bassist for The Who) Graham Chapman (Monty Python's Flying Circus) Joey Ramone James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon (of my favorite group, The Pretenders)
And, although she wasn't in show biz:
Princess Diana

Oh, and one more person that I forgot to include in my previous post:
Gilda Radner
Posted by Sid Fishes (Member # 1283) on :
good list Steven, stirred some good memories, especially Stuart Adamson (who i had the pleasure of a handshake with not long before his death), Graham Chapman, Lennon & Harrison. Didn't realise Richard Crenna had died, he was brilliant in "First Blood". Kirk Douglas and William Devane were originally approached to play the Troutman character, great actors, but can you imagine anyone other than Crenna in the role?!
also missed:
John Entwhistle (The Who) Joey Ramone (The Ramones) Freddy Mercury

I had no idea Richard Crenna died....I really liked him as an actor, he was great in all three Rambo films. John Candy was one of the funniest, greatest comic actors ever, if not the funniest actor--he was at least in the 80's.

I agree with all of you posts, here are two of mine: Wendy O willaims (she was crrrrrrrrrrazy) Joe Strummer, I love The Clash,it was such a shame to lose an artist who actually made sense and had something to say.(and something worth listenng too) May they all Rest In Peace.......
