UPDATED: This updated memoriam for 2015 includes several more celebrities, as well as their ages and some corrections. This revision also includes sound clips for some of the celebrities that I think you will find interesting. In the coming weeks, I plan to update a few more videos that I hope you will enjoy. Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words for this labor of love.
In 2015 we lost some great names in the worlds of music, television, film, politics and more as well as some infamous figures. A few of the souls we lost this year included: Mario Cuomo, Gary Owens, Lesley Gore, Leonard Nimoy, Ben E. King, Christopher Lee, Omar Sharif, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Wes Craven, Yogi Berra, and Maureen O’Hara, to name a few. This video is dedicated to all of them who left a positive impact on the world. May they rest in peace.
Christopher Lee also played one of the best villains in the James Bond series, Francisco Scaramanga, The Man With the Golden Gun
I understand that there were many celebrity deaths in 2015. But another notable, and extremely unexpected death was music composer James Horner, who composed Star Trek II and III as well as Titanic and Avatar.
True... and of course John Barry 2011... and Ennio Morricone 2020...
Roddy Piper was right about that prediction!
Yes, that was eerie.
What prediction ?
@ericmangels4917 he predicted that he wouldn't make the age of 65, and he was right. He died at the age of 61
@SuperMhinton that's very sad ! 😔 especially since thre are legends that are still alive and up in age too ! I guess it all depends how long they put those steroids,etc in their bodies,and when they finally quit.Regardless I was a huge fan of Piper !
"They" finally got him!
Christopher Lee was also a veteran of the war between the Soviet Union and Finland as well as WWII.
The one I most remember from this year was Lynn Anderson. That one came out of nowhere - dead at 67 from a heart attack. I listened to her music as a kid and teenager, back in the '70s and '80s. Her rich legacy will live on.
And she was gorgeous. Sad to learn of her passing.😓
Maureen O'Hara starred in Best Picture "How Green was My Valley" 1941
R. I. P. to Donna Douglas (Elly May) Rod Taylor from the 1963 Movie The Birds and played Frank Agretti on Falcon Crest. Happy Holidays everyone.
Donna Douglas was so pretty and so was Yvonne Craig!
Gunnar Hansen, the original Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, died November 7, 2015 from pancreatic cancer. RIP 🌹
I was told it was a self inflicted chainsaw wound. 🤷
You left out Zsa Zsa Gabor's daughter, Francesca Hilton, who died on January 5 that year. She was at this restaurant in Los Angeles with her fiance, when she went into the restroom, and she never came out. She was only 67.
My father Oscar passed away 11/17/2015 still heartbroken 💔👴🏼😭
Christopher Lee was Fighter Pilot during WWII
Are you sure? I’ve always read that he worked in Military intelligence and was so protective of his work there that a fan once asked him if he worked in military intelligence
“Can you keep a secret?” he asked
“Yes, of course”
“So can I” and he walked away
Count Dooku! Sith Lord. lol
Overlooked here is James Last, German born Band leader and Composer who died on 9 June age 86.
Lynn Anderson also was a semi-regular on "The Lawrence Welk Show", and Jim Perry hosted a Canadian game show, "Headline Hunters", in the early 1970s.
Is that anything like Wink Martindale's Headline Chasers?
Three Chicago sports icons all died 2015: Billy Pierce a great pitcher Minnie Minoso integrated the Chicago White Sox ("Cupcake" Annette and "Sugar Bear" Alice's favorite baseball team) and Ernie Banks likewise integrated the Chicago Cubs.
What surprised me the most about 2015 was the amount of television stars that had passed away. I knew many of them growing up, but I didn’t realize all of them left us in 2015. Many others as well. Seems like an awful lot.😢
Great video very well done, thank you for these memories.❤
Christopher Lee will be one of the best vampire ever made, Bela Lugosi is actually number 1 ever made. Great people who's gonna be missed.
Ingrid Pitt, THE best Female Vampire of all time.
Donna Douglas was my childhood crush.
R.I.P. to all of them. And thank you so much for adding the founder of my favorite band, Edgar Froese.
Yvonne Craig will always be Batgirl, Judy Carne was actually tormented on the TV program Laugh In Sock It To Me and they actually socked it to her. Patrick McNee was the narrator, the Cylon imperial leader, and also Count Iblis in Battleship Galactica. I didn't know that Meadowlark Lemon, Martin Milner, Yogi Berra, Gary Owens, Al Molinaro, Cory Wells, Vera from Alice all died in 2015.
I have been and always shall be your friend. Live long and prosper.
I almost used that quote.
🤘....Close Enough..❤
You left out Amanda Peterson, the actress who starred in the 1987 movie "Can't Buy Me Love". She died on July 3 from drug-related causes just days before her 44th birthday.
Jimmy Greenspoon of Three Dog Night died on March 11, 2015. 🎹
Well done Vince! Thank you for doing 2015...11:24 the voiceover is George "Spanky" McFarland, another child star from The Little Rascals. I own the entire series and that's him.
Dickie was in a few memorable episodes with Spanky.
Without a doubt 2012 - 2016, so much talent on all sides. RIP to All!
12:44. Paul Prudhomme could easily have been Dom Deluise's twin brother-they looked so much alike. Both he and Dom were 75 at the time oh their passing, but Dom died in 2008, so was slightly older.
I remember the year before i finally fulfilled a lifetime dream to see prog rock legends Yes in concert.
Their music is something I remember from my childhood and they played the two albums with the exact songs in the exact sequence, that is of course “Fragile” and “Close to the Edge”
The most notable band member of course instrumental to their music was Chris Squire.
Half a year later I was in shock of the news of his passing.
Long live his legacy, the greatest bass guitarist in prog rock history.
I am a Cleveland Indians fan Yogi but damn it I Love You!
Beautiful as usual!
Thank you! 😊
You do a really great job on these videos. Happy holidays to you and yours. In addition to the credits listed, Robert Loggia also starred in the TV series T.H.E. Cat in the mid-1960s.
Thanks for that!
He also played Richard Gere’s father in An Officer and A Gentleman…one of my favorite movies!🥰
He also starred as Elfego Baca for Walt Disney.
Thank you. Happy Holidays!!
Happy holidays!
Rest in peace Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes. Legends of Wrestling.
FYI: Not only did Chris Squire and Lemmy Kilmeister both play Rickenbacker bass guitars, They both had a signature model bass that Rickenbacker built in their honor.👍
Mike Porcaro of Toto died in 2015 of ALS. His older brother Jeff, a fantastic drummer, and a founding member of Toto, died several years earlier of a horrible reaction to some insect killer he was applying to his yard. Both were such terrible losses to the band!
As usual a beautiful video.
Would like to give Honorable Mention to actress Lizbeth Scott, best known for her role in film The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. Passed away from congestive heart failure on January 31, 2015
Bikel was also Worf's adoptive dad on Star Trek TNG
Theodore Bikel also originated the role of Captain Von Trap in the Broadway production of The Sound of Music
His adoptive MOM was UK theater legend Georgia Brown.
Couldn't get the voiceover of Judy Carne saying "Sock it to me"?
Rest in peace, Judy.
In addition to the credits listed, Louis Jourdan was excellent as Dracula in a 1970's BBC mini-series.
And don't forget his role as Arcane in Swamp Thing and Return of Swamp Thing.
Always like how classy you make these. Unlike your compition. Thank you. You make everyone more human. ❤
Thank you.
Lynn Anderson is remembered mostly for her country music career but she had another career that gained her fame in the Equestrian community. Over the course of her life, Anderson had won 16 national championships, eight world championships and some celebrity championships. She also bred Quarter Horses.
I miss Natalie Cole

Thank you. I lost my mother in 2015 and am watching this on Mother's Day, 2024. Irony.
This is breaking my heart 💔
God bless everyone
Great seeing you Steve. So glad your illness didn't affect your awesome knowledge of the world of trucks and cars. There's no one better. Keep getting better.
Jim perry was a great game show host. Loved card sharks. Also, losing 3 famous people on new year's eve has to be rare
I had such a crush on Chris Squire. And we share the same birthday. ❤
I think music composer James Last should be listed. After nearly 50 years are arranging and conducting his orchestra and selling millions of records.He died in 2015.
The British actress Geraldine McEwan passed away January 30th. She played Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.

4:30 Jayne Meadows recounting how she earned $165 a week during her 7-year run on I've Got A Secret (1952 - 1958) and from that, she had to pay the government, her agent and the rent for the apartment she shared with her sister. Ha! My father earned $65 a week. He also had to pay the government and, as the sole wage earner of the family, pay the mortgage and provide for his wife and six kids.
Well you win. 😅
@@jmysterio100 Not the point, as you well know. It's celebrities complaining when they, in fact, are very well off compared to most.
@@luciebrisson5881 Very true.
Wow! Just wow!
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays!
Chris Squire and Gary Richrath. Two of my all time favorites.
Robert loggia started in big opposite Tom Hanks and also Richard Geres dad in a officer and a gentleman love Anthony Fed ex lol😊
He voiced the main villain Sykes in the Disney film Oliver and Company in 1988 also appeared in Scarface and Independence Day
I loved Lesley! I found out years later and it was a surprise that she was gay. R.I.P. Lesley I Love You
She played on Batman with the beautiful Julie Newmar.
Tangerine Dream's Score for William Friedkin's movie Sorceror was fantastic
Sylvia Anderson co creator of The Thunderbirds and other related shows.
You credited Beth Howlan as being in the original cast of Sondheim's "Company " but Dean Jones, who predeceased her by several months, was also in that cast.
I have a book of the poems that Leonard wrote!
Eugene Patton, where ever you are, I hope you're still dancing.

Lemmy isnt dead. I can imagine hes just at the rainbow bar and grill drinking and playing his slot machine game. We unfortunately just cant see him..
And I thought 2016 was a bad year for celebrity deaths.
Interesting that Rod Taylor died that year and 4 days later Anita Ekberg died, he was briefly engaged to her.
Notable omission to this list is Stuart Scott, longtime espn anchor. Died 1/4/15
Jean Darling died on September 4, 2015, not August 4 like you have documented here. A small correction for your otherwise awesome series.
Rest In Peace Dusty Rhodes Lemmy and Roddy Piper
RIP Louis Johnson of the Brothers Johnson 5/21/2015.
Wow most people who passed away in this year had quite a long life including many in their 90s. Think I only saw two people under 60, one died by suicide and one from an overdose so neither from a disease. I’ve also noticed most years there’s always someone who appeared in The Twilight Zone
Omar Sharif❤
I LIKED NATALIE COLE AND NAT KING COLE . REST IN HEAVENLY PARADISE EVERYONE AMEN. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Once again, there is no such thing as accidental overdose
Did U see Roddy on Highlander

In The Holy Bible in John 11:25 Jesus Christ said
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
If you have Jesus in your life and make him your Lord and Savior of your life before you die he promised we will live again
Michael Hordern played Jacob Marley, young and old, in A Christmas Carol (AKA Scrooge), not Patrick MacNee.

Sorry...😔but everyone dies
I hate that they missed by one year to miss the greatest President ever, Donald J Trump.
Probably in the minority but I find the voiceovers annoying and time consuming. Yeah I can mute it but then I miss the nice music.
Oh, so you changed it since your mistake? 😄
