What actors or actresses do you miss?

[Haole Girl]

I don't know why, but I really miss Robert Urich.



There are many others I miss too, but I thought of him today when I saw him narrating "When Animals Attack." For some reason, he always seemed like such a nice man.

1. Jimmy Stewart

and all the old 1930s ones, really.

Plus John Ritter.

12. John Ritter....

[Deja Q]

17. John Ritter, and Paul Lynde

[NewJeffCT]

2. Abe Vigoda

may he rest in peace.

[Haole Girl]

3. I didn't know he died

I have a really difficult time following entertainment news.

Johnny Carson once talked about how a person knows they are getting old when he/she doesn't know any of the people on the cover of People magazine. That's how I feel lately.

[NewJeffCT]

9. he's not dead

It's been a joke that he died for over 10 years now...

[Paladin]

4. Montgomery Clift. (n/t)

[charlie and algernon]

5. Jeff Goldblum

I wonder if we'll ever find out what movie he was making in New Zealand.

[Haole Girl]

7. Wasn't that a rumor?

[charlie and algernon]

8. yup

i fell for it the night Jackson died, so I never miss an opportunity to self-depricate.

[Ptah]

6. Walter Brennan

RIP stumpy

[NewJeffCT]

10. In all seriousness...

From the last several years...

Heath Ledger
Paul Newman
Farrah Fawcett
Christopher Reeve
Steve Irwin

[hippywife]

11. Katherine Hepburn

Spencer Tracy
June Allison
Fred Astaire
Gene Kelly
Hedy Lamarr
Maureen O'Hara
Rita Hayworth

The list goes on and on and on. They had style, not like the spoiled brats on the screen today.

[Captain Hilts]

14. KathArine Hepburn. Yeah, I miss her too.

[Ivan Sputnik]

13. Marilyn Monroe

It would have been fascinating (and maybe instructive) to see how she would have coped with aging. And how would she have reacted to things like feminism if she had just lived a few years longer? (She died in 1962.) It would be interesting to know.

[graywarrior]

15. Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Bette Davis

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. I agree with Richard Burton - he had an amazing screen presence

I loved him in Alexander the Great. He really got into the role.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

from 1989 - her last tv appearance

16. Does Jim Henson count?

I still miss him terribly.

[BuelahWitch]

18. Second for Jim Henson

The Muppets went to shit after he died, even though his kids took over the company.

[MorningGlow]

19. He was the heart and soul of the Muppets

Never to be duplicated.

[femmocrat]

20. Jack Lemmon..... one of my all-time favorites. n/t

[Jade Fox]

22. Robert Urich

I used to work for someone related to Carolyn McCormick, who acted with Urich on Spencer for Hire. Apparently he was indeed a very nice man.

[Haole Girl]

24. Thanks for letting me know

[Gidney N Cloyd]

23. Urich was one of those actors who was always working because he was...

... one of those actors who had a reputation for being professional and a decent human being.

[KG]

25. Marilyn Chambers, Lisa De Leeuw

[armyowalgreens]

26. Phil Hartman

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

29. a brilliant man

in addition to his great SNL and Simpsons work, he co-wrote one of my favorite films, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

i watched a copy of The Gong Show Movie last week and was surprised to see Phil turn up in it

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

27. Paul Newman

one of my all-time heroes and admired him for everything he did on and off the screen
after Kurt Cobain (I was a 90s teen), easily the hardest celeb death for me
