I always feel so sad about Clara Blandick. Wracked with the pain of rheumatoid arthritis, told she was going blind, she took her own life on Palm Sunday, leaving behind a note that ended, “I pray the Lord my soul to take.” May she truly rest in peace.
Beatle for only a short while, mostly an artist. Sutcliffe, from what I read, couldn't play the bass so when the Beatles were on stage, Sutcliffe had his back turned towards the audience.
Thomas Mitchell also "Uncle Billy" in It's A Wonderful Life. And for me, the Father of five sons, all killed on the same ship in WWII. The movie based on the event is called "The Fighting Sullivans". Their ship, USS Juneau was in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal when on November 13, 1942 their ship was attacked and sunk in a huge explosion. All five Sullivan brothers were killed with only 10 survivors of the entire crew of 687. The wreckage was located in 2018. Two ships were later named, one a successor called the USS Juneau and another named USS Sullivans. I watched the movie as a kid and have never forgotten it. It also was the reason going forward that brothers, with some exceptions, are not allowed to serve on the same ship in a war zone.
Their deaths were also the reason for the 'sole surviving son' rule for the U.S. military as depicted in 'Saving Private Ryan', enacted so that family lines would not end. Just as an aside, I believe the ship was named, USS The Sullivans, but perhaps I'm wrong.
The same with me. Before watching each video, I like to zoom in on the thumbnail to see how many of the ten faces I recognize. On videos from the 1970's to today, I knew most, if not all. This time I only recognized four.
Will Wright. The only show I remember him from is the one left off this clip. Weaver's Department store owner in "The Andy Griffith Show" and most prominently the ONLY Christmas episode of the entire run of the show from 1960 to 1968. Andy Griffith had a lame excuse for it being the only one but it was likely a dislike of the holiday by most of the crew. I had read that Aunt Bea wanted no part of another Christmas episode and others may have felt the same.
Also in 1962. Kings County, Ca rural Hanford had its horrible tragedy on March 21, 1962. 15 year old Marlene Miller, a High School Sophomore was home alone sewing a dress for a upcoming first date she was looking forward to. She was beaten, raped and stabbed with her own scissors by Booker T. Hillery in back of her house. I was only 3 going on 4 at the time but for 70s, 80s and 90s there were follow up articles in Newspapers and News Channels even followed up on this. Very sad and senseless that she lost her life at 15. R.I.P. MARLENE MILLER.
I wonder since Lucy was not a racist if it had something to do with the problem they had at first "allowing" Desi Arnaz - being a Cuban - to the on The I Love Lucy Show. At times I read they called their being an interracial couple. Lucy was never racist and always stood up for
always stood up for causes (not as an activist) but though her language ie about gay people and had a black maid for decades. When she rented a hotel in NYC while she was in Wildcat and her maid was told she could not use the white people's elevator, Lucy immediately said, that if her maid was not is allowed she was moving out . I heard that the rat pack, when they performed in Las Vegas, black people were not allowed to eat in restaurants with whites and had to stay in separate hotels. It seems that Sammy Davis Jr had to endure that - which surprised me - Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford weren't racist and personally knew many owners that not one of them said anything to break the color barrier in those areas although Sammy Davis Jr performed with them on stage.
Charles Laughton was also the host and narrator of a poetry tv series:"This Is Charles Laughton"..which was seen on The Dumount TV Network back in the 1950's.
We'll always wonder about Marilyn Monroe's death. Many including me still do not believe it was a suicide, accidental or intended. It's more like a version of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" with a gender swap for the character.
I have the book the declassified files of JFK ordered by Donald Trump. There's a chapter in the book about Marilyn Monroe, the autopsy found a needle mark right beside her anus. How can you give yourself a shot in the anus? You cant
Don't forget he did a Perry Mason episode also! ✌️👍 Dennis the Menace Show was never the same afterwards, In my opinion. He played that part perfectly. Oh, and Will Wright was Mr. Merivale the garden store operator, on Dennis too!
Just so you know, actor Frank Lovejoy also starred in the radio series Night Beat, in the 1950s. Also, actor Thomas Mitchell passed away on the day I was born in 1962 ❤🎉. 4/6/24.
You missed "Black Mike", better known as Mickey Cochrane, baseball player for the Philadelphia A's & player/manager for the Detroit Tigers......led the latter one to 2 straight American League pennants in 1934 & 1935, and in the second of those two years, ended up scoring the winning run for the Tigers' first ever World Series championship......
Vince, another well done tribute! Thank you so much! I am a big Marilyn Monroe fan and have visited her grave many times over the years. The date of her death is correct on August 4 as she was pronounced deceased early at 335 AM on Sunday, August 5 by one of her doctors at the time. So very sad about her passing at age 36.
I too remember the day that MM’s death was announced. It occurred a few weeks before my 9th birthday. Several years earlier, my father had taken me to see “Some Like It Hot” - quite a treat for a 6-year-old! It’s the only MM film I can say I saw in its original release. My mother once told me that as a young boy, I’d look around on buses and subway trains to see if any of the women looked like Marilyn Monroe, a detail of my life for which I have only a vague memory.
I don't know that so many people died in the year that I was born. Yes, I will be 62 this year and I was born in 1962. Thanks for sharing this. Love from Marysville California
This video could have included Stanley Lord, who passed away on January 24, 1962. Stanley was the Captain of the Californian which was the ship closest to the Titanic on the night she sank. Despite receiving reports from his crew of emergency rockets being fired from the Titanic, Lord did not order the Californian to go and investigate which would have saved countless lives!
Hey, vince OJ Simpson is dead if that OK you want him to be featured in memoriam April 2024 with all the other celebrities who died this month right at the end of the month right and the end of the year which you be doing in memoriam 2024 at the end of the year and you should change to garden music

Very sorry but people who kill themselves cannot believe in God so they will never go to Heaven!
Auntie Em is Over the Rainbow now
Thank you for including Stu Sutcliffe, the lost Beatle.
Beatle for only a short while, mostly an artist. Sutcliffe, from what I read, couldn't play the bass so when the Beatles were on stage, Sutcliffe had his back turned towards the audience.
Buried not far from where I live.
RIP: Fred "Snowflake" Toones,.... a usually forgotten African American actor who appeared in about 150 Films
Eleanor Roosevelt. One heck of a woman and revolutionary and my favorite First Lady of all time. Rest in peace.

That movie about the Sullivan's is on UA-cam. I watch it on or around Memorial Day. Albert was always my favorite

As we go further back with each new video, I'm recognizing fewer people. Their stories are still compelling ones though. Thank you. 😊
The same with me. Before watching each video, I like to zoom in on the thumbnail to see how many of the ten faces I recognize. On videos from the 1970's to today, I knew most, if not all. This time I only recognized four.
Shouldn't Ernie Kovac's experimentation be legendary, not legionary?
Thanks. I must have proof read this video 15 times or more before I posted it and I didn't catch that.
@@inmemoriam2000 Still, a very good series of videos.
you missed Roy Atwell wh voiced Doc in Snow White
The man who invented the pap smear is my grandfather and proud greek American! Love you grandpa! You made me proud!
For Thomas Mitchell, I would have thought you would mention his prominent role in one of the most famous films of all time- “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
And the dad from "The Fighting Sullivans"

I had read that Aunt Bea wanted no part of another Christmas episode and others may have felt the same.
i looked him up on Wikipedia and found that he was the voice of Friend Owl on Bambi. That was a great character!
He was also the garden store owner, Mr. Merivale on Dennis the Menace too. 👍✌️
I remember him doing TV westerns Maverick and Lawman and he probably did others.
Didn't Will Wright also portray the mean department store owner Ben Weaver on the Andy Griffith Show?
Yes he played Ben Weaver from 1960-1962 when he died of cancer in 1962.
Yeah both him and the first Mayor of 'Mayberry ' who past away in 1961 made their Mark on Andy Griffith.

To think only one black actor ever appeared on I Love Lucy 😒

To me Sammy Davis Jr was the best of the club
i was 8 2nd Grade
October '62 was The Cuban Missle crisis.
We were scared
Charles Laughton was also the host and narrator of a poetry tv series:"This Is Charles Laughton"..which was seen on The Dumount TV Network back in the 1950's.
RIP:... Jerry Giesler, 1/1/62 --- Hollywood attorney who represented among others Marilyn Monroe, Errol Flynn and Buzby Berkeley....

I do not believe Marylin committed suicide i know most of the people involved are now dead but marylin still needs the truth R.I.P beautiful lady xx
I have the book the declassified files of JFK ordered by Donald Trump. There's a chapter in the book about Marilyn Monroe, the autopsy found a needle mark right beside her anus. How can you give yourself a shot in the anus? You cant
@@akaza.lord2 We'll never know what truly happened to Marilyn.
Conspiracies are so much fun, isn't it? So much more interesting than the truth.
Excellent presentation, as usual !!
Sam McDaniel was also in An Abbott & Costello film:"The Naughty 90's" and in"The Three Stooges"film"Heavenly Daze".
Hattie's brother.
R.I.P. Joseph Kearns Dennis The Menace. Will Wright who was on the early episodes of Bonanza and Marilyn Monroe.
Don't forget he did a Perry Mason episode also! ✌️👍 Dennis the Menace Show was never the same afterwards, In my opinion. He played that part perfectly. Oh, and Will Wright was Mr. Merivale the garden store operator, on Dennis too!
Joseph Kearns also originated the role of The Man in Black on the Suspense radio drama series
My favorite part of him playing Mr. Wilson would be when he would say “Great Scott”!
Just so you know, actor Frank Lovejoy also starred in the radio series Night Beat, in the 1950s. Also, actor Thomas Mitchell passed away on the day I was born in 1962 ❤🎉. 4/6/24.
Happy birthday! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
@@KevinMiller-xn5vu Thank you 😊. 4/6/24.
Ah...all these people left the world the year that I entered it...may they RIP. ❤
Marilyn had a lovely speaking voice, showing her humility and vulnerability. Gone too soon, as so many here xx
Should have included Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.
My grandfather, Arthur Reck, (Farmer) 1908-1962 (aged 54), cancer.
These videos are lovely
P.S. ❤ Thank you 😊😁 for posting this. 4/6/24.
I also lost my grandfather in 1962.
Well done. 💕
Rest in Peace everyone.🕊💐🕊 Thanks for the tribute.
Hoot Gibson was in The Horse Soldiers, of John Ford, rip.
RIP angels
I learned about the creator of the Pap smear.
Rest In Peace Marilyn Monroe.
Rest In Peace William Faulkner.
Rest In Peace Charles Laughton.
His legacy will be forever.
Thanks for your videos.

I remember hearing about it on our car radio while dad was driving us someplace. I was 12 and we lived in San Francisco.

Just think - all these celebrities died 62 years ago in 1962, the year I was born...
Charles Laughton was quite sensitive about his looks. He'd be horrified that you chose a pic of him as Quasimodo for the thumbnail. Just sayin'.
Anyone else check birthdates and get amazed some of these people were born in the 1870s? Or is it just me?
Hey, vince OJ Simpson is dead if that OK you want him to be featured in memoriam April 2024 with all the other celebrities who died this month right at the end of the month right and the end of the year which you be doing in memoriam 2024 at the end of the year and you should change to garden music
Marilyn Monroe was so beautiful!
Beautiful, haunting music 👍
1962.... My year of birth
MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE STRANGERS TO ME.
The fuck! You don't mention "It's A Wonderful Life" in the credits for Thomas Mitchell???
Great video as always, thanks for the memories.
I got a real kick and a big laught out of that "uh huh" kid. Not a shred of sympathy for Marilyn Monroe. Was never a big fan of Eleanor Roosevelt.
