....these videos are a work of art,..there are others like them but they're not as good,... I watched one last night for 1956 and it didn't have the polish and artwork like this one... please keep 'em coming....
@@inmemoriam2000 ....you always have,.... I binge for about a week and watched all your videos.... they're awesome.....some complain, myself included, of the people that were missed and it dawned on me that you're doing an overview of the deaths that year, not all films and tv, not all sports ...they are all works of art....
Fred Allen is such a treat to watch on reruns of What's My Line on Buzzr. Allen, Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Frances, and Bennett Cerf were one of the greatest panels of classic game shows.
Charles MacArthur was married to actress Helen Hayes. His adopted son was James MacArthur, an actor who is best known for his role as Danny Williams in the original "Hawaii Five-O" TV series.
@@umpokitomaurice6780 I knew or was aware of some and undertook some research on the others. Very useful and would probably be of some interest to somebody 200 years in the future looking back at this video. It does make you wonder what those who died in 1956 would think of us now
The renowned and iconic actor Bela Lugosi died on August 16, 1956 while he still had a part to play in the filming of the movie Plan 9 From Outer Space. Rather than scrap the filming completely with Bela's passing, director Ed Wood replaced Lugosi with another actor, who was about half a foot taller than Bela. Incredible!
This is great to read about the famous people who died in the year that I was born. I was born on Christmas Eve in 1956. Thank you for showing this "In Memoriam."
You got me thinking with your age, of course you were too young at the time but there are not too many WWII vets left. If one enlisted into the service in 1945 at 18 y/o, those vets are 97 y/o in this year 2024. Kinda sad. Thank you sir for your service to our Nation.
Ah, at last, my birth year. I begin to see why others have made such pronouncements on other installments of In Memorial -- I do feel a slightly stronger sense of connection and sentiment about 1956, and those who departed that year. Jackson Pollock was a primary source of inspiration as an artist (not as a person though); Bela Lugosi I knew from childhood through his movies; I recently read Fred Allen's memoir, Much Ado About Me, published in '56 (many of his radio shows are available at The Internet Archive); there is an entire shelf of the books of H.L. Mencken in my collection. But this channel reminds me of a lot of other interesting characters and innovators of note who left while I was in the womb or the cradle. A silly sentiment, yes, and I'm happy to enjoy it.
Yes, but it's hard to do when you only have two or three sentences to recap a person's life. My hope is that some people will choose to look to the internet for discover more information about these great talents like Fred Allen.
A heart attack seemed to be the leading cause of death that year. People back then probably didn't know about the dangers of high blood pressure nor were the medicines as good as stabilizing it. And yes, smoking was a huge factor.
As well as other drugs. Alcohol was a factor also. All of that activity that transpired in the Roaring 20s, culminated in this year, years prior, and after.
@@r.a.contrerasma8578 They were though. I've always said, in the 20th Century, the best time to live, would have been in the 1920s. It was fun, exciting, carefree, creative, innovative, sexy, and bold. Also, it was loaded with talent and strong personalities.
Left alone and to their biological genetics, most males do die in their 40s-50s. Until open heart surgeries became readily available, most males died "young." I know because I'm still alive due to a bypass in my early 40s.
The National Gallery of Australia made the controversial decision to purchase Jackson Pollock's "Blue Polls" in 1973 for A$1.3 million. It remains a part of their collection.
I remember hearing or heading of many of these deaths. Mainly Art Tatum and Bela Lugosi. I turned 12 that year. I loved everything about the middle 1950s; the cars, women's fashions, male clothing, the constant excitement of hearing of the breakthroughs of knowledge, the constant technical achievements, and the wariness we all had about Communist U.S,S,R.'s starting the many small "Brush-fire Wars."

Thank you for that. I'm glad you noticed that I have been putting a lot more effort to make the images/artwork more interesting whenever possible.
It's true -- UA-cam keeps pushing copycats at me, and I just hit the "do not recommend" link.

Yes, I agree. Fred Allen had a very unique sense of humor. Btw, he wasn't related to Steve Allen.
Charles MacArthur was married to actress Helen Hayes. His adopted son was James MacArthur, an actor who is best known for his role as Danny Williams in the original "Hawaii Five-O" TV series.
I was 12, and unaware at the time, that so many people that had made my world had just passed on. Thanks for the info. 😎
This is such a great channel.
Yeah, featuring faces nobody knew!
@@umpokitomaurice6780 -Then don't watch it
Thank you sincerely.

I am 89 yrs old an Army veteran, i guess i am lucky to be alive
Thank you for your service. Glad you're still with us.
We're lucky to have you, Sir.

Some of these personalities passed away quite young. May they all rest in eternal peace.
R.I.P. Bela Lugosi.
So many creative geniuses passed in 1956. Thank goodness for their lives here on earth.

@@simonagree4070I was born on Christmas Eve in 1956. I, too, am glad to read about the famous people who died in the year that I was born.
Hey, I have a cousin who was born on Christmas Day 1956. Me, I arrived on Bastille Day (July 14, just after midnight, just missed Friday the 13th).
The channel should have further elaborated upon Fred Allen's radio experience; much of Allen's career was in radio and he even had his own program.
Yes, but it's hard to do when you only have two or three sentences to recap a person's life. My hope is that some people will choose to look to the internet for discover more information about these great talents like Fred Allen.
Another note: Mencken had a stroke back in 1946 and was unable to work the last ten years of his life. He sat in his backyard a lot.
RIP Preston love the TUCKER
❤ I’m grateful For This Memorial To These Souls. Thank You! ❤
You are so welcome

If you found a Tommy Johnson record in mint condition-- you could buy a house
I'll have to check my collection. ;)
Max Beerbohm at 5:10 looks just like actor Anthony Hopkins, the resemblance is amazing.

Edward Arnold… genius character actor.
forgotten people
R.I.P. to all.
I am 70 now. Feel old but still moving with a cane or walker. Mostly cane
As always, enjoyed your presentation.
