#CelebrityWallOfdeath

2007 is off to a fairly strong start with celebrity deaths, and I feel like this has to be acknowledged. Hence, the creation of a Celebrity Wall of Death Blog.…

Well... we all shouldn't be surprised, but I think each of us hoped Anna Nicole would be with us forever. Sadly, now we only have the straight-to-video movie Skyscraper and truckloads of naked pictures to remember her by.…

They say it was a sniper, but can we blame Dick Cheney for this one? I say yes. Should a fictional super hero be added to the wall of death? And what happens if he gets revived in a couple years (not even Don Knotts can pull that one off).…

Best known from his appearances on the David Letterman show as cult favorite side kick Larry "Bud" Melman, we also must remember the actor Calvert DeForest from Run DMC's King of Rock video and as the composer of the Meow Mix jingle.…

Classic TV sitcom lovable, dim-witted neighbor/sidekick Tom Poston is no longer with us. Best known for his roles as George Utley on Newhart and Mr. Bickley on Mork & Mindy, he graced the small screen on everything from Family Matters to Dr.…

Rest in peace, Charles Nelson Reilly. You were a staple of 70s game show TV like the Match Games and Hollywood Squares. You were the voice of HooDoo on Lidsville. You were in the Cannoball Run II. And you talked really funny. Flame on, Charles Nelson.

Even his amazing wizardry couldn't save him. Don Herbert, the original Mr. Wizard, has gone to that great Hogsworth in the sky. I'll personally be more excited when Bill Nye the Science Guy kicks it. And does anyone remember this Mr. Wizard??

Who is Alice Ghostley? Astute watchers of situation comedies will remember this venerable character actor as TV's Esmeralda on Bewitched, and also as "Cousin Alice" when Aunt Bee died on Mayberry R.F.D.…

Show business great Robert Goulet is now unfortunately Robert Ghoulet (bwa ha ha ha... hee hee.. oh, sorry Robert, if we can't make puns about dead celebrities, what can we pun about?).…

Dick Wilson, better know as Mr. "Please Don't Squeeze the Charmin" Whipple, has joined Madge the manicurist, Fred the Baker, the Maytag Repairman, and Sugar Bear (ok, maybe not Sugar Bear) in Advertising Heaven.…

2008 is off to a strong start for celebrity death with the passing of Allan Melvin, best known as Alice's meat packing boy toy Sam the Butcher. He was also the voice of Magilla Gorilla, Drooper on the Banana Splits and Bluto from Popeye.…

This has never happened before in the history of the Wall of Death: One of our celebrities has returned from the grave. And if it was going to be anyone, it would have to have been ... Doug Henning, the hippy magician.…

Roy Scheider, best known as Sheriff "We're going to need a bigger boat" Brody in the first two Jaws movies (no, he sat out Jaws 3-D) could not escape the jaws of death (you knew that was coming). Mr. Scheider was 75.…

Larry Harmon, who portrayed Bozo The Clown for half a century, has died. But you're not actually reading this, you're staring in mute horror at the picture above, thinking about those weird feelings from your childhood that you never really understood,…

The mom from the Golden Girls (and the mom from "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" died. Thank you for being my friend, Estelle Getty. So.... one down, three to go. (And then there's Maude..?)
