Can someone please list (alleged) celebrities that died this year?
I mean, I know about Prince (boy, was that huge, including on the radio), and the very recent ones...Carrie and her mom Debbie, and George Michael. Also David Bowie. Anyone else truly celebrity?
Nancy Reagan.
Glenn Frey of The Eagles, Alan Rickman, Dan Haggarty (Grizzly Adams), Harper Lee, Muhammad Ali, Nancy Reagan, Patty Duke, Merle Haggard, Doris Roberts, Alan Young (Mr. Ed), Zsa Zsa Gabor, Pat Summit (legendary women’s college basketball coach), Garry Marshall (Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley), Noel Neill (TV’s original Lois Lane)...shall I continue?

This is a great way to look at a list of sorts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqyuIFSNxYI
AMC channel comes out with one every year too but I have not seen that anywhere yet. Here is one made by a movie fan:

The biggest loss for me was Leonard Cohen.
I would never call him a “celebrity,” which IMO, means a person famous for being famous or outrageous, without necessarily any talent..
Cohen was a poet, songwriter, intellect in the stratosphere of talent.
Gene Wilder!!!
Truly talented. Leonard Cohen.
Decades ago, Debbie came to our small village, in the Connecticut River Valley as the house guest of charming Max Showalter. Her small town persona was very much like her screen character *Molly Brown*.
As I recall,she was bubbly, funny and effervescent. When Max came in to town for supplies, he drove an old beat-up station wagon. Debbie in her inimitable way, had about half her body hanging out the car window, waving and shaking hands. She seemed to dump the left coast fame, for small town New England life.
Good stuff. Nice Lady. Part of the *end-of-an-era*. RIP
