Hi, I was just wondering who your favorite performers who died young or who's career ended too early. Mine are, in no particular order. Brandon and Bruce Lee. I am a big fan of all things related to "The Crow" and also a huge Martial Arts film fan, Chris Farelly and John Belushi SNL is not as funny without them, Kurt Cobain The Music industry lost one of it's greatest performers, River Phoenix great actor, not sure if the next really counts, but, I think they are two of the greats John Candy and Dudley Moore. How about you lot?

Regards,

Luke

Hi,

I also thought of Brandon Lee and the name River Pheonix came to mind as well. I'm sure I'm forgetting many greats that died before their time.

I'm also a old movie buff so the names of Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe popped in my head too. Still, despite losing these people when most were at the peak of their careers gave them immortality in the publics view.

James Dean,
Sal Minio
Nick Adams
Brandon Dewilder
John Garfield
Robert Walker
Jean Harlowe
Natlie Wood
they all died very young...

Edgar Allen Poe

Jim Croce
Jimmy Hendrix

Stevie Ray Vaughn...and Bill Hicks

Best,

Dorian Rhodell

Buddy Holly
Owen Hart *wrestler*
Phil Hartman
Chris Farley
John Candy
Elvis Presley

Yes I agree with Edgar Alan Poe and Jimi Hendrix and Owen Hart and also I think the brithish Bulldog is a sad loss to wrestling along with Crash Holly

I didn't know British bulldog had died.This is quite depressing.Bruce/Brandon Lee,River Phoenix,Bill Hicks,James Dean,Hendrix,Richie from the Manic street preachers and Harry Houdini.
R.I.P guys,(I doubt they would be resting,that would be one hell of a party up there!)

One of my first inspirations,"The Magician", Bill Bixby.

Ricky Nelson
Bobby Darin
John Denver

Howard

Yes, John Candy and Dudley Moore count (they were young at heart).
To name just a few of my favorites, and I am not sure what qualifies as young.
Bobby Darin (Don't forget to check out Kevin Spacey's new movie)
James Dean
Marilyn Monroe (I can't spell)
Richie Valens
John Lennon (hey, 40 is young)
Sal Mineo

Iven

Oh Yes I forgot the actor women went gonzo for:
Rudolph Valentino he died at age 29
and Motzart died at a very young age 32

Jerry Garcia (wasnt real young, but still a tough one), Chris Farley, John Belushi are a couple of others. Terrible waste but a strong statement against drug abuse, I guess.

John Ritter was TOO young. He career spanned all aspects of TV and film, but he deserved to stay a little longer.


Ellen

I wonder if Jimmy would be big if he was still alive... His music didn't talk off until he tragically passed away.

Lee

John Bonham
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Ronnie Van Zandt
John Lennon
Keith Moon
Phil Hartman
River Phoenix
John Candy

Yeah The British Bulldog had a hard time. His life was just messed up. As you know he was married to one of Bret and Owen hart's many sisters. They were going to get a divorce.

The Bulldog was having trouble with prescription drugs ever since breaking his neck or something. He had terrible back pain. He was going to go to court over trying to shoot Bruce hart(Another brother) then he suddenly had a heart attack he was like 39. He will be sadly missed.

Also thought when it comes to wrestling tragedies the list is endless Hawk, Rick Rude, Brian Pillman, Yokozuna, Classy Freddy Blassie, Miss Elizabeth, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, The Ultimate Warrior. Sorry, huge wrestling fan. I am starting to ramble. Phil Hartman's dead another great SNL guy
