"Corrections:" 01:50 This needs revision
It makes you realize, just how fast and fleeting life is. In 1976, i was 16 years old, in two months, I'll be 64. I'm as old now, as many of the ones shown here, or close to it. I grew up watching Family Affair with little Buffy. Had she if lived she'd be 65 this year. Time moves so fast
I was 15 .
This was the year my older sister died
When we get older time passes so quickly that yesterday seems like another lifetime
The Bible mentions how fleeting life is. In James 4:14-- What is your life but a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away."
I was 16 myself & a junior, in high school. In 2wks, I will be 64 also. It seems like that was another whole lifetime ago.
It's like, when I was that young, you prepared for a career, getting married, lo and behold, how do they teach you at that young, you'll one day be a widow or a widower that I am, and prepare to retire? I see that 18 year old kid in an Army uniform, how did he turn so grey and balding? Or have grandchildren as I do now.
Ironically, she died on the same day "Family Affair" started airing syndicated reruns.
BTW, I was 18 myself.
Jack Cassidy was incredible in his Columbo episodes.
He passed out from drinking with a cigarette in his hand.
Right!! I rewatch the ones with Jack frequently.
If only he survived how much further his acting career could have evolved, especially the next 10-20 years from that point.
Exactly my thought.
@@susanb2015Yep. And burned to death, too. Falling asleep and smoking 🚬 don't go together anymore than drinking and drinking do. Tomorrow (December 12th, 2023) marks the 47 year anniversary of his passing.
Adolph Zukor was born just 8 year afters the Civil War ended and died 31 years after WWII. The changes he experienced in his life is mind-boggling. From horse and buggy to the jet age.
Jack Cassidy, just tragic. And "Buffy" too...❤🙏🏽
Drug addicts really don't need their deaths heralded in this "In Memoriam" now do they?
It's so mind boggling knowing those celebrities that I enjoyed had died that year. 1976 literally seems like a lifetime ago. I was 15 in 76, now I'm 63. and to think these people are stuck in that time not knowing anything more. Life had moved on without them. it boggles the mind. RIP and God bless
I agree, I was 16 on February 9th of that year. I'm within 2 months of 64. How did I go from a 16 year old kid to a grandpa?
@@michaelhuffman6429I am 65 in January. What this film shows is that we very soon pass into history!
15 in 1976, now 63. Yep! It's really difficult to believe many of these people have been gone this long
I was 15 then. The bicentennial year. 62 now. Oldest grandson is 14. I remember thinking I was getting older when I turned 20! “Oh to live on Sugar Mountain.”
Went from days of wine and roses to dry prunes.😊
Florence Ballard (my favorite "banished" vocalist).❤❤❤❤
Thank you for bringing these tributes to life. Such memories of a begotten time.
Well said.....❤
R.I.P. TO SOME GREAT ACTORS/ACTRESSES:
1-Lee J. Cobb, The Virginian.
2-Ray Teal, Bonanza, Green Acres.
3-Maudie Prickett, Andy Griffith, Bonanza and Hazel.
4-Anissa Jones, Family Affair.
It doesn't seem like its been 47 years since we've lost a lot of these great stars.
Anissa Jones from Family Affair and her real life brother was a particularly sad story. I always thought her as cute as a button.
That was one difficult pill to swallow!
@@davidallen5776 -
She was quite an accomplished little actress on that series. RIP to her and her real life brother. Sad.
(:50) In 1949 I was a year old. My parents were living on West 93rd Street in NYC and we had a ground floor apartment with a back garden. Every so often people (always Russian) would show up at our door looking for "Meester Robbison.." We had no idea what they were talking about. Dad did some sleuthing and it turned out - Paul Robeson owned our building. He was dearly loved in Russia (much more so than here, sad to say..) So his 'fans' would trek to what they thought was his home to pay their respects.
Thanks for sharing.
R.I.P. Bernard Lester (my grandfather) August 16, 1976, Aged 70, complications from diabetes.
For me, it's hard letting go. I was 16 in 1976. Buffy, was 18, when she transitioned & it's very sad, bc she missed so much of life. No husband, children, no grandchildren.
I'll be 64, the 19th of this month. I am now 2 yrs younger than my dad was in 1982, when he passed away at age 66. This blows my mind. My mother died 9 yrs later. It was hard losing them & hard living without them. I didn't have them as long as I would've liked. But I hope they're at peace.❤🕊🕊🪽🪽
Alastair Sim was not only my favorite Scrooge but the movie is my all time favorite CHRISTMAS MOVIE
The encephalic Snow Sisters (cruelly called "pin-heads") co-starred in FREAKS (1932) with the famed Schlitzie, also an encephalic. He gained extended stardom and was greatly loved by his audiences, whom his intelligence amazed. Your videos are exceptional. I will see them all.
Lee J. Cobb was a remarkable actor. It was him that actually propelled "The Virginian" into television history. Of course, this is not considering all the other stellar accomplishments he had. I remember his final role in "The Exorcist," again he had a huge part in making the film what it became. He died quite young at only 64.
Thanks for mentioned him in “The Exorcist”; I was going to leave a comment if someone didn’t.
@@jaybee9269In "The Exorcist" he says to Father Karras: 'I lied--you look like Sal Mineo" who is also included here.
Jack Cassidy was an immensely talented entertainer.
Sal Mineo was a beautiful man. Gone way too soon!
Good Ole Lee J. Cobb, nobody played an angry man better than him.
"Can't you guys get it through your skulls? They're dusting off the hot seat for me!" - as Johnny Friendly.
Poor 'Buffy'. I remember her death well in Oceanside CA, because I was in the Marines at Camp Pendleton and that was the military town we all partied at. The town was loaded with drugs because of the base. RIP
Florence Ballard was so pretty!
@gogoyubari366 Yes, she DEFINITELY was (I'm a white man who likes black women, anyway)!
Anissa Jones' death hit me hard. I enjoyed the series that she played in. She died soo young!
How do you die of a benign brain tumour?
Generally in the middle of the brain. inoperable.
Benign means it’s not cancerous. It’s a tumor so it can grow. Size and location in the brain can cause compression on brain cells and depending on location, especially brain stem, cause those cells to cease normal function and thus cause death.
My brother-in-law died last year of a benign brain tumor. The poster above mine described exactly what happened.
Alaister Sim was so well thought of here in the UK, brilliant timing as " A Christmas Carol" will be hitting the screens any day now
We also love him here in the U.S. By far, in my opinion, he played the best Scrooge ever.
@@inmemoriam2000 100 percent agree. Not nasty or mean, more just wanted leaving alone...we can all relate to that
I just watched it last week. BEST version!
I think George C Scott was the best .
Alastair Sim. He"s the only actor who gave a credible performance of the Born Again experience. I always get verklumpt thinking of it 😢
My lovely Aunt Janet who was like my big sister passed away suddenly,April 4 1976 at 21 from a brain aneurysm , I was 11 at the time , I still think of her often.
My sympathy to you.
Didn't jack Benny die on dec26 in 1976
I just looked it up,1974
R.I.P. Howard Hughes.
O ser humano encontra sua total realização e salvação no SENHOR JESUS CRISTO.
Not mentioned was UK actor Sid James famed for his many roles in the carry on films franchise who died 26 April aged 62.
I was going to mention Sid but you beat me to it. 😊 By the age of 15 I'd had little in my life to shed a tear over but when Sid went..they started.
I saw all the Carry On films in the 70’s when I was a kid, they were played regularly on TV here in Canada.
Honorable mentions also to Dame Sybil Thorndyke, who passed away on June 9, 1976., and Sir Benjamin Britten, who passed away on December 4, 1976.
Too bad you didn’t have an audio clip of Chester Burnett (aka Howlin’ Wolf.) What a powerful voice. I named my cat Chester after him. My other cat is BB (King.)
Never realized Billy Halop was Munson the cab owner on All in the Family
Maudie Prickett played a major role in the tv show "The Andy Griffith Show."
Aunt Nora, Aunt Bee’s sister. Her husband Ollie was a hoot.
“Florence Ballard” founding member of the Supremes
1943-1976
Thank you for adding
Miss Florence Ballard of the Supremes😪
... awesome tribute, but they left off actresses Judith Lowry and Ruth McDevitt...and actor Alan Baxter...
Ruth McDevitt always had the recognizable face, either on
Gunsmoke, or the movie, The Birds. I always say if you have
a recognized face, that makes you pretty famous no matter who
you are, or what you did.
In 1976 the only Face lost that I cared about, was my Mother's. She succumbed to Cancer at 38yrs of age
47 years ago-life is fragile. Life is short.
Lee J Cobb and William Holden look like brothers.
Where do you find the quotes you use t the end of your videos (sorry out the missing letters, my keyord is cting stupid.)
Thanks for asking. I search for quotes about death or some variation of that. There are many to choose from but I try to select the ones I feel are most poignant.
You should quote the dead😂
Singer Connie Boswell:of the singing trio The Boswell Sisters died October 11, 1976 at age 68. She sang with her two sisters Martha and Helvetia (Vet) during early jazz and swing era of the 1930s. Connie later became a solo singer.
I didn’t know Buffy OD’d. Sad.
You missed Carlo Gambino
To all that went home God Bless 🙏 rest in peace
I lost my sister to violence in 1976 she was 14 I was 13 it feels like yesterday 💔
Sorry for your loss.
It must feel awful to lose a family member like that and my heart goes out to you for your loss
Sal Mineo was a real handsome man
A friend of mine was born that day.
His murderer never got caught
I’ve been told from the time the photographer took my high school senior photo he told me that I looked so much like Sal Mineo that ever since then I long lost track of how many people have told me the same thing. I’m 75 now and still resemble him. My hair is still dark.
1976 I Was 9 Year's Old I Remember Alot Of Theses Tv Star's They Were Like Family Hard To Believe 47 Year's Has Gone By
Sid james. Brilliant actor. Sadly died of a heart attack in April. Only 63. Bless you sid
So much great talent left us that year. Years back read a very interesting story with regards to Sal Mineo and Jack Cassidy and the connection between them their deaths. Jack's wasn't accidental from what I read.
These memorials always get to me. I realize I am now older than most of the folks listed here. Looking forward 50 years seems like a long time in the future but looking back it seems like yesterday. Get your priorities straight as no one is going to be here very long. Just love God, your friends and family.
Rest In Peace to all of the Greats 🕊️🕊️🕊️
This is the year I was born, I'm 47.
Next is 1975.
Moe Howard and Larry Fine from the Three Stooges and Bob Montana( creator of Archie comics) died that year.
Thank you. I almost missed Bob Montana.
@@inmemoriam2000 Oh, and Moms Mabley. And too many people may not remember Elbridge "Bones" Bryant from the Temptations.
I AM 62 NOW WHEN I WAS YOUNG THAT AGE SEEMED SO OLD . ANISSA JONES I GREW UP WATCHING FAMILY AFFAIR. I LOVED THAT SHOW SHE WAS SO CUTE . REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE TO EVERYONE. SAL MINEO, FLORENCE BALLARD,GODFREY CAMBRIDGE AND ANISSA JONES .
Paul Ford was so funny. Enjoyed him in "The Russians are Coming..." and "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World." Music Man too. 8)
Frankie Darro aka Lampwick from Pinocchio (the poor sucker who got turned into a donkey at Pleasure Island) died on Christmas that year from a heart attack.
We are physically frail and subject to dying anytime as these individuals show us...
I tuoi video sono sempre più accurati e commoventi. ❤
Edith Evans, the deliverer of probably the most famous retort in British Cinema history. "A handbag"?
Unfortunately Jack Cassidy was smoking in bed, fell asleep & his mattress caught fire
He was a very heavy smoker but had been drinking heavily before his death and was drunk when fell asleep with lit cigarette igniting the couch he was on burning his apartment which fire spread quickly through the building to.
howard hughes died of Kidney Failure? right...............
Mother Dexter aka Judith Lowry is missing.
Thankyou. Remembering where I was at the time of passing of people I have met (only through the media) has heightened the importsnce of ALL events. You have raised the quality of my life.
Sal Mineo was also Dr. Milo in Escape from The Planet of The Apes, The second Sequel in The Planet of The Apes Saga. Howard Hughes was Portrayed by men such as Dean Stockwell in Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988) Terry O'Quinn in The Rocketeer (1991) and Leonardo DiCaprio in The biopic, The Aviator (2004) That's a bit Racist Godfrey Cambridge, Yes There are Racist Black Men, and many of them are Comedians.
I, agree with #BOB& Michael:
I, was a mid teen in 1976&
# Charlie*s Angels seems like a hundred yrs. ago....
Times, were already starting to get
wild by then; but pp. listened to
ea other& were not as lonely.
So, much for the stupid internet.
I, miss the old phones, TV&
CARS!!!!!!!!!
You failed to mention Zhou Enlai, Premier of China, who died in January 1976. Zhou was Nixon’s main interlocutor during the latter’s 1972 visit to China and was one of the drafters of the Shanghai Communique of 1972 which, until recently, has kept the peace in the Taiwan Strait. Zhou also helped moderate Mao’s misrule during “The Great Leap Forward” and “The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.” He protected Deng Xioping, who later reformed and opened up China’s economy, from Mao’s ire. Zhou Enlai deserves to be mentioned.
Sid James died 26 April 1976 aged 62.
Mike Pratt died 10 July 1976 aged 45.
2 fine actors who have been excluded from this video.
No mention of Sidney James who died in April 76
Or Field marshal Montgomery
Sad that Godfrey Cambridge died so young and is essentially forgotten.
A film he appears in is worth seeking out, though obscure: The President's Analyst, starring James Coburn in the title role. Check it out!
You left out Danny Murtaugh manager of the 1960 and 1971 World Series champion Pittsburgh Pitates.
Anissa Jones at the time “ was the worst mass overdose the coroner had seen”. There’s more to her death than what people know.
From what I heard, she was in her home when she overdosed where she had friends sleeping over. But no one had called for hours, which is suspicious. Is there more to it than that?
@@coda700 well I think the Doctor who was selling her pills got caught shortly after that.
You forgot opera singer Lily Pons who died about the same time as did Lee J. Cobb, Sal Mineo, Percy Faith and Florence Ballard.
Sal mineos murder was the 1st celebrity death that got to me deeply.
Jack Cassidy was the original bass player for Jefferson Airplane, and Hot Tuna.
SAD, THAT
FIELD MARSHAL MONTGOMERY, WASNT LISTED.
ALL ACTORS MUSICIANS & POLITICIANS.
BUT NO HEROS
1:40 okay call me crazy, but that face looks like the guy from how i met your mother
Do we really have to commemorate Mao? He’s responsible for millions of deaths
I was born in 1976.
So was I.
Some big names here.
Amen to fast... don't blink!
The year I was born.
This is the year of my birthday
It always amazes me when a celebrity cause of death is “accidental drug overdose”. An accident is something that isn’t planned or reasonably foreseen. A drug overdose is usually the result of a very high risk vice. When some dies from an accident overdose of heroin, is it really an accident.
This is possibly the best channel as far as this subject is concerned. You give the dates and ages and causes of their deaths, unlike some other channels. It wasn't discovered yet but it wou😂be interesting to see if HIV AIDS had a part in their deaths.
Paul Kossoff was the inspiration behind Bad Company's song Shooting Star
''Watermelon Man '' lol..lol
I born in 1976
норм
RIP Vince Guaraldi
I still listen to his music
I saw her play, "Mouse Trap" at the Peachtree Playhouse in Atlanta in '76. David McCallum-prior to playing Ducky Mallard-played the lead role here and was wonderful. I'm glad I met him then and 2 years later in "Night Must Fall" (by another playwright). He was so kind and a gentleman! RIP, David 9/25/23-90.
WHO played in the "Mouse Trap" at the Peachtree Playhouse in '76. That little theater sat one house away from where Margaret Mitchell wrote "Gone with the Wind". I lived on 13th Street in the mid '70s and literally wallked up the hill to see plays at this iconic theater. Chris Manos was the producer of Theater of the Stars. .Those were great memories. I believe that theater still stands as its on the Historical Register.
10:21 Mayor Daley no longer dines at the Chez Paul.
Always so sad! 😞
Paul Ford was hilarious in the Music Man.
So many stories of people we lost that year. With the exception of Mao Zedong-possibly the dictator who murdered more people in history than any other. His story could be the only time I rooted for ALS.
I don't know but I thought Stalin murdered more than any other dictator.
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley ✊
I was in Chicago in 1968 - when Daley was sending his police to beat up hippies in the street or arrest them. Around the time of the DNC convention. My friend and I, ages 22 and 23, were long haired - non hippies but I felt very unsafe driving in Chicago at that time. Reminds me time when the police were sent into the Columbia campus to arrest, beat up, and grab students who were protesting the Vietnam war. Today students and faculty getting arrested for protesting the genocide in Palestine. Again police being called in to arrest protestors in NYC, especially Columbia University. (images flash of my youth). I never went to any of these protests - too afraid I was going to be beaten up or jailed. I felt that at age 22 and today 70 + later.
Grandma died day before my 8th birthday this year
RIP🇺🇸
This year I will be 65
I was born in 1976.
Keith relf died may 14 not 12
Not according to Wikipedia.
Good thing I’m a people person
No such thing as accidental overdose
Who cares.
