Just read the news about Greg Allman. Man that sucks. I think tonight I'll have a glass of Kentucy's finest, play some Allman Brothers and remember better days when all the rock legends were still with us.

Well, yeah, she had a noted drug addiction most of her life. It was thought that she had been clean for a while, but it seems not. Perhaps related to her trying to get skinnier for the movie role...

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Maybe she couldn't do Star Wars without it?

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

It's seeing those convention reunions getting smaller and smaller and the way they all choke up together when they start talking about the ones gone beyond.

This makes me sad because he was my friends and I's introduction to early electronic and musique concréte back in high school. Most might know him for making the track that served as the blueprint for the Futurama theme:

Actor Skip Homeier passed away June 25th.  He was in a number of movies (The Gunfighters with Gregory Peck and the 1954 noir film Cry Vengence, for example) and he was on TV often (he played the Judge in the 1976 TV-Movie adaption of Bugliosi's Helter Skelter, was in Mission: Impossible, Alfred Hitch**** Presents, and a lot of the late 50s westerns like The Rifleman). 

 

For sci-fi fans he may be best remembered for two roles on Star Trek, Melakon in "Patterns of Force" and Dr. Severin in "The Way to Eden"

Not quite a celebrity in her own right, but well known none-the-less, Joan Lee, wife of Stan Lee has also passed away.  She was also an author of one published book, The Pleasure Palace:

I thought he died like 3 years ago?

 

EDIT: He did, that article is from December 2014.

Weird. I just saw it posted on a music thread. Ah well, sorry, my bad. :unsure:

For that side note of celebrity, apparently Stan Lee's wife, Joan Lee has passed away at the age of 93. 69 years of married life.

Stan's health hasn't been great the past few years, anyhow.  So there was already worry.

Depending on your view of celebrity, Nelsan Ellis has died aged 39. Probably most recognised for playing Lafayette in True Blood and Shinwell in Elementary
