Jeanne Cooper (mother of Corbin Bernsen) was a long standing character on the soap opera, Young and Restless, when she passed. She was written out of the series by having her character dies on a "bucket list" trip. The show even aired an hour long episode where the actors recalled their memories of working with her. Very touching. There have been a few other actors die while on the show, but I haven't watch the soap opera in quite a while.

Well I for one am glad he didn't do Shrek in the end, since I was never a fan of Chris Farley, his act, was always exactly the same, which is the problem with most stand up comedians of the last few decades, they tend to mostly play themselves, over and over again, and can't act worth shit! There is only a few that didn't do that always!

Bela Lugosi was not actually filming Plan 9. Bela died in August of 1956 while Plan 9 entered production in November of that year. What Bela actually shot was test footage for a planned film called "The Ghoul Goes West". Ed Wood decided to incorporate the footage into his film as a tribute to his late friend.

If you have any doubts about John Candy’s kind-hearted nature being real or fake, he did a movie called “Only the Lonely” with veteran actress Maureen O’Hara. When Candy learned his trailer was larger than hers, he moved all of his stuff to her trailer and gave her his trailer.

There was an actor named Lexie Bigham (1968-1995) who is probably unknown to most people. He only had 15 credits in film. Lexie Bigham played one of the few street gang by the name "Two-Bags" in the comedy movie High School High. Lexie Bigham is only seen until about half way through the movie. During a break for the day, he was traveling home by motorcycle when he was killed when he collided with a car

[@Tully_23_32]

A great pommy comedy series call 'Keeping Up Appearances' had a character named Rose, the sister of the main character Hyacinth Bucket whose other two characters as their sisters Daisy & Violet, yes all named after flowers. The actress who played Rose was diagnosed with breast cancer & died during one of the 1st season. She was replaced & the series went forward for quite a few seasons. Because the original Rose was only in it for the first season a lot of people don't remember the original Rose or didn't even know there was a different Rose except if ur a mass fan of the show, like myself & my mum were, & that's quite sad.

I have a question for the narrator or the creators of this channel, there is a channel I watched yesterday called The Ultimate Expedition that has what I believe is an AI narrator, that sounds exactly like the real narrator here, but sounds like they may have possibly took audeo of the narrator here, ( who I know is a real person since I have seen videos with the real narrator on camera ) and spliced it together to make their videos. The video I watched was about celebrities who ruined or nearly ruined their careers with drugs, oddly enough a few of them were on this video too. I forget the title exactly. I decided after I watched it that I would bring it up in the comments of a new video of this channel, because I do doubt that your narrator is the narrator on that channel, not with the horrible narrating mistakes he made, like calling Hollywood, Hollywoo many times and talking about River Phoenix and calling him Riva every time. The words sometimes seems broken up, and would be said in ways that didn't seem natural, which is why I believe they might have taken parts of the audio from maybe even one of the videos of this channel or maybe one of the other channels connected to this one, that the same guy narrates to pretend he was narrating, since this channel does pretty well, probably partly because of his narrating, maybe they're trying to make people think their channels is connected to this one! I realize I might be wrong, that maybe it's being allowed by this channel and or the narrator here, but I would like to believe it isn't, since the video wasn't done very well!

Yup, there were different degrees of racism involved in the events, but the chronology of how Spielman-Friedlander wrote the first script for a film feature and it ended up as a TV series starring David Carradine because he was a better actor for that role is well documented in Matthew Polly's "Bruce Lee: A Life," and even in Wikipedia.

I thought River Phoenix was a lot closer with Flea than John Frusciante? Flea was supposed to of been there with him at the Viper Room. Flea was supposedly the one who got him into drugs, at least to the degree he was. He became close with Flea because he was one of the street kids on My Own Private Idaho, and cause Phoenix loved playing music they got along well. Its said that because Phoenix was playing a role where his character used drugs, he wanted to know what it was like properly and thats where Flea came in with the heroin.
