What?!

Nothing about America's newest Homosexual Hero?

The latest role model for GLTB youth??

U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning ; Patriot and Leaker?

What would our military be without brave patriotic mentally sound homosexuals in the ranks?

Tough to predict. It's got to be someone that's not an "A" level artist, but still did work that truly shaped a misshapen generation. Charlie Sheen, say, or maybe Rankin/Bass die within hours of each other.

You forget we recently lost Barbara Billingsly, Leslie Nielsen's fellow 'Airplane' alumni.

Irvin Kershner was also the director of "Robocop 2" and "Never Say Never Again" -- does that cancel out "Empire"? Keep in mind that Star Wars didn't need a sequel, even though it got an improbably great one...

@8, if it doesn't cancel "Empire", it certainly explains much of its leadenness. That Bond one was just horribly awfully terribly bad.

@ 5, not recently enough to be part of this group of three deaths.

@ 8, bite your tongue. Robocop2 was crap but Never Say Never Again was fun.

Also a mitigating factor is that Empire's success only enabled Lucas and led to the franchise-sequelizing of modern Hollywood.

@10, Barbara Carrera was awesomely fun. But c'mon. Kim Basinger?

Next to die? Please let it be public appearances by Joan Rivers.
