Well known faces lost in 2010.

[Rapunzel]

I only knew the Hollywood faces here, I didn't know the sports stars or congress people, but it's still sad to see well-known faces who have passed.

Nice little montage.



I knew mostly just the political people, as the actors are far too old for me to have been acquainted with.

Thanks for reminding me how old I am.



When and HOW did Dennis Hopper die??!?!?!!???

Yeah, really, I never even knew Dennis Hopper died!!! Was this ever in the news?! I didn't realise Manute Bol had died, too. As I saw that in the video, I thought it really had to have been a screw-up, but apparently he isn't around anymore. Wow.

When and HOW did Dennis Hopper die??!?!?!!???

Dennis Hopper, whose portrayals of drug-addled, often deranged misfits in the landmark films “Easy Rider,” “Apocalypse Now” and “Blue Velvet” drew on his early out-of-control experiences as part of a new generation of Hollywood rebel, died Saturday at his home in Venice, Calif. He was 74.



The cause was complications from metastasized prostate cancer, according to a statement issued by Alex Hitz, a family friend.



Mr. Hopper, who said he stopped drinking and using drugs in the mid-1980s, followed that change with a tireless phase of his career in which he claimed to have turned down no parts. His credits include no fewer than six films released in 2008 and at least 25 over the past 10 years.



Most recently, Mr. Hopper starred in the television series “Crash,” an adaptation of the Oscar-winning film of the same title. Produced for the Starz cable channel, the show had Mr. Hopper portraying a music producer unhinged by years of drug use.



During a promotional tour last fall for that series, he fell ill; shortly thereafter, he began a new round of treatments for prostate cancer, which he said had been first diagnosed a decade ago.

You're welcome. I didn't know he had died either. In fact, quite a few were surprises to me.

I didn't know that the one who played as Blanch in the Golden Girls passed. When did she pass away?

Yeah, that's generally how we're treated by our own, even.
