I’ve noticed that too for a number of years. I recall back about October 1985, Rock Hudson, Yul Brynner, and Johnny Olson (the game show announcer) all passed within that few days of each other. And earlier that spring, it was Selma Diamond (Night Court) and Dolph Sweet (Gimme A Break) within two or three days of each other.
Weird, ain’t it? Must be part of the price of fame... At that rate, it’s better to be an old nobody, off the radar.
Not sure who the third was, but Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died on same day. By late afternoon there was the report that Jacko had been rushed to hospital and soon a Boston oldies station started playing his music wall to wall (followed 2 days later by SiriusXM 70s on 7 doing a special based on his music)
Remember being in my car and surfing the XM dial and the display read Whitney Houston’s years of birth and death, plus her music—she had just passed...
