In Memoriam 1999: Famous Faces We Lost in 1999

[@PrincessofPower84]

God bless Curtis Mayfield. He was critically injured in 1990 and was left a quadriplegic. He never complained or asked "why me?" and continued to work, even recording an album while laying on his back. The Super Fly album was a welcome addition in my home as a child. Rest easy, sir.

[@peternesbitt]

Dawn Wells once said that during a taping of Gilligans island a guest star walked in the room and he was the most handsome man she had ever seen. His name was Rory Calhoun 4:33.

[@DeliRevv]

I was a huge disciple of Stanley Kubrick. When he passed away, it was like a great light had gone out and no one has been able to reignite it. His films will forever stand the test of time.

[@ReiAponte]

Jean Vander Pyl 1919-1999 (the voice of Wilma Flintstone) was not included😔

[@bruce8808]

Actor Noam Pitlik who played Officer Swanhauser ("Swanny") on Sanford and Son died February 18, 1999 at age 66, He also directed shows like Barney Miller and Taxi. I enjoyed his portrayal of "Swanny", Smitty's partner, on those few episodes. Actress Mabel King who portrayed Mrs. Mabel "Moma" Thomas on the 70s sitcom What's Happening died of diabetes at age 66 on November 9, 1999. She also played the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wiz and sang 'No Bad News'. Actress and comedian Shirley Hemphill who portrayed waitress Shirley Wilson at Rob's Place on What's Happening died of kidney failure on December 10, 1999 at age 52.

[@MoonOverYou]

Noam Pitlik was terrific~played many roles in shows like "Hogan's Heroes." I believe he was also a director later on.

[@charlietwotimes]

Dana Plato really shocked me then & still shocks me now. Same goes for Demri Parrot & Veronica Lake. The very beautiful women who threw it all away at incredibly young ages..

[@maidahaltrecht6577]

The worst year to die. Right before the next century. And most of them died so young sadly.

[@scottknode898]

[@tristonrobinson2243]

I was 14 years old when I heard about the shooting at School. I was devastated at that time.

[@tessangelabeck8958]

Another “whataboutism” instead of a polite offer to give recognition about another loss of life. I bet a lot of deaths outside of USA also went unmentioned.

You have the wrong Rob Fisher in your video. There was a Rob Fisher who was a conductor and you have the 2 confused. The one who died in 1999 was a singer/songwriter and keyboard player who was part of the duo Naked Eyes with Pete Byrne and he was also a part of the duo Climie Fisher with Simon Climie. Naked Eyes had hits with “There’s Always Something There To Remind Me” and “Promises,Promises.” Climie Fisher had a big hit called “Love Changes Everything.”

Forget the guy who played q on James Bond series. He was hit by a car and died

[@meggieh69]

@micarpir. Hi. I think you're referring to Desmond Llewelyn. He originated the role of Q and appeared as the character in 18 of the first 20 Bond films.

[@andrewroberts299]

Desmond Llewelyn wasn’t hit by a car. He was killed in a car crash.

[@scottknode898]

That was Desmond Llewelyn he was killed in a head on car accident at age 85 in 1999 shortly after the release of James Bond film The World Is Not Enough his final appearance as Q after playing the character since 1963 in From Russia With Love.

[@captaincarl8230]

You can forget about Michael Jordan being the NBA G.O.A.T. That mantle has to go to Wilt Chamberlain, who had a few quintuple-doubles (points, rebounds, assists, blocked shots, steals). Wilt and MJ had a big argument about who was the greatest. At the end, they stood up and when Wilt looked down at MJ stated, "When you played, they changed the rules to make it easier for you to dominate. When I played, they changed the rules to make it harder for me to dominate." Jordan had no comeback to that argument.

[@davidmitchell6873]

You're ridiculous!!
