2009 will surely go down as the dyingest year in celebrity history, when the only gossip about stars was that they’d suddenly stopped breathing. It’s only July, and so far we’ve already lost the lustrous likes of:
Bea Arthur
Betsy Blair
Altovise Davis
David Carradine
Billy Mays
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson
Karl Malden
John Updike
Gale Storm
Ed McMahon
Dom DeLuise
Ricardo Montalban
Natasha Riichardson
Jett Travolta
Kenny Rankin
James Whitmore
Marilyn Chambers
Mollie Sugden
Ron Silver
Sydney Chaplin
And so many more! Like Olga San Juan!
While other, more macabre sites are asking “Who’s next?” I’m more realistically wondering “Who’s left?”
