LeVar Burton (Reading Rainbow) is still kicking. (I'm not sure how liked he is outside the US, though.)

Patrick Stewart, too.

Fun fact: Reading Rainbow still has one of the best theme songs ever ("Butterfly in the Sky").

Fucking hell, don't mind me. I'm going to be curled into a corner sniffling like a moron and mourning Dolly's passing.

Dolly seems like the kind of lady who would rather see you happy.

Celebrate her life by listening to her music, watching some of her films, or get involved in some of her charities.

There's already enough to be sad about in the world; let other people bear the burden for a while. 💙

Almost everyone loves Weird Al Yankovic, even the cynical assholes on this forum. The man is a legend, and I've seen him live three times.

Dammit, now I've started thinking about how Al is getting old and he's gonna croak someday. 😢

Dick van Dyke, Carol Burnett, Mel Brooks. I will be truly sad when they go.

There's no real guarantee that all of them will make it in the next 5 years. Especially Mel Brooks and Dick Van Dyke. I'll ignore the fact that Mel is jewish because he's one of the good ones and I'm happy he at least saw 100. I felt bad that Bob Barker didn't make it to 100 himself but considering he was the Price is Right host, that's such an in-character way to have gone out, like not going over bid.

NOTE: THESE PEOPLE ARE ALIVE AND THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY A SIGN THAT THEY ARE DEAD OR EVEN CAPABLE OF DYING.

Best I've got is Morgan Freeman, Denzel, and maaaybe Danny DeVito? Oh, and for a lot of us, probably Bruce Campbell. I can't imagine being upset if you're watching something and Bruce Campbell drops in for a cameo.

Sadly, Bruce Campbell is dying. He announced recently that he has a cancer that is treatable but not curable.

I just watched him in Sam Raimi's first movie from when he was in college, "It's Murder!"

I don't think there's much chance for DeVito to live another 10 years. He's 81 and doesn't really look like he takes care of himself. I'm surprised he's made it this far to be honest. Loved him as the Penguin in Batman Returns. (the best Batman movie).
Same goes for Joe Pesci as well. He's 83 (:_(
