  1. I haven't heard of many of these people. The ones who were in big movies (James Bond, Willy Wonka etc) yes, Grumpy Cat yes (my Barbarians were fans), but that's about it. I know the Monkees and the Cars, but not the actual players. And that's it. And while I know Rip Torn, I hadn't heard he'd died. So really, I fail quite miserably at this list, lol.

    1. Don't feel bad. I went thru several lists of celebrity deaths in 2019 and anyone within earshot would have heard several muttered "he died? really?"
