Other than John Ritter, who will you miss the most? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I've read where a few people here have noted that this has been a strange year as far as celebrity deaths are concerned. I can't remember another year where so many talented people from different fields have passed away in such short a time. If popularity is any indication, it looks like John Ritter's death has hit our fellow posters the hardest. It's been over two weeks since he died and his passing is still being felt, which is a tribute to not only what a fine actor he was but also what a nice person and decent human being he was as well. And yet, as Johnny Cash fans will be quick to point out, his death shouldn't have to diminish or overshadow the impact of the deaths of his fellow celebrities because, no matter what you might think of them, they also had their share of fans, friends, and family that will miss them very much. With that in mind, I'd like to ask everyone a very simple question. Of the following celebrities, all of whom have died within the last 4 months, who do you miss the most?

Gregory Peck

Katherine Hepburn

Buddy Hackett

Barry White

Buddy Ebsen ("The Beverly Hillbillies")

Bob Hope (my personal choice)

Charles Bronson

Sam Phillips (founder of Sun Records)

Johnny Cash

Gordon Jump ("WKRP In Cincinnati")

Robert Palmer

Larry Hovis ("Hogan's Heroes")

or someone else.

Larry Hovis. I still can't believe he's dead.

benjamoon · 09-29-2003, 03:03 PM

Bob Hope.... he was a legend

Though I'll miss him, his death doesn't upset me because he had 100 great years of life

Bob Hope was great on both radio and TV, Barry White was a legend that sang great sexy songs like "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby", Gregory Hines was a good actor. He had only one song with Luther Vandross called "There's Nothing Better Than Love" and who could ever forget, George Plimpton, The host of "Mouseterpiece Theater".
