    You are the most accomplished individual among the deceased tributes, surpassing even the esteemed Legacy. You are my preferred source of information regarding those who have passed away and the circumstances surrounding their demise.

    Beautifully presented. The tinting is perfect. Great photos, too! I was just enjoying some Ben Turpin silent comedies last night. It was good to see him in your video. The great film comedian Charley Chase also died in 1940.

    I always find these videos fascinating, and this one was no exception. It seemed to me that cerebral hemorrhage was the cause of death for several people - I find that interesting. Also, though, there were a good bunch of writers whose works I'm going to find out more about now (I'm an avid reader and library worker)!

    My parents were born in 1943 and 1944...so it's amazing that it wasn't all that long ago that people who created or invented significant things in the late 1800s and early 1900s were still alive.

    I believe Carol Lombard did die in a airplane crash , but I believe she was returning from a War Bond Tour , Jan 1942 , just after the bombing of Pearl Habor , She died along with several Military Service Men , Her tour generated a lot of money for the War Effert, Carol Lumbard and the personal that died with her were Considered Official War Casualties , as they were in the Service of the US Government - Rallies , Selling War Bonds , at the time , she was Married to Clark Gable at the time also , at one time Carol Lombard was the highest paid Woman Actress in Hollywood , Clark was Devistated about her death

    With regards to Actress Carole Landis, 16:41, she took her own life eating some kind of poison due to the fact of actor Rex Harrison not marrying her/relationship issues.
    She left a note behind telling everyone how sorry she was, etc. There are photos of her resting her head in an unusual position on a bathroom powder box of some kind, police
    detectives on scene examining evidence. She starred in one of the many movies of the '40s "Four Jills in a Jeep" alongside Betty Grable. I have a handwritten letter from her
    amongst the many memorabilia of vintage actresses.
