Recent Deaths
It's odd we went 9 full days of the year before a celebrity passed away that I knew. But starting on the 10th it has been a near daily occurrence. In the last 10 days, I identified 10 celebrities that passed away. Three of them are easily major names that almost every American would recognize. While only 2 or 3 are fairly obscure names that probably only a few people would notice.
The full list
1/10 - Christopher Bowman, 40, figure skater, drug overdose
1/11 - Sir Edmund Hillary, 88, first to reach summit of Mount Everest, heart failure
1/13 - Johnny Podres, 75, 1st world series MVP for 1955 Dodgers, possible kidney failure
1/15 - Brad Renfro, 25, actor in Bully among others, possible drug overdose
1/17 - Bobby Fischer, 64, only American chess world champion, kidney failure
1/17 - Ernie Holmes, 59, Steeler DT 72-77 played on 2 Super Bowls, car accident
1/17 - Allan Melvin, 84, Sam the butcher on The Brady Bunch, cancer
1/18 - Georgia Frontiere, 80, owner of NFL's Rams since 1979, breast cancer
1/18 - Ugo Pirro, 87, screenwriter of Navaho Joe, and the Oscar winning films: Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion & The Garden of the Finzi-Continis
1/19 - Suzanne Pleshette, 70, The Bob Newhart Show. respiratory failure
I want to comment on two of the names.
Suzanne Pleshette will always be a favorite. I was a big fan of The Bob Newhart Show. She is probably the only female that I ever thought was attractive who was around the same age as my mother. And she gets major points for being part of the greatest ending to a television show with her cameo on Newhart.
I will always think of Georgia Frontiere from when she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with my cousin Bert Jones. It's a pity that, due to injuries, he was only able to last one season in L.A. It would have been interesting to see if he could have produced.
