In 2000 we lost several great cartoonists as well as talented celebrities and athletes including Victor Borge, Jason Robards, John Lindsay , Steve Allen, Sir Alec Guinness, Walter Matthau, Nancy Marchand, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Tom Landry, Charles Schultz, Doug Henning, Don Martin and so many others. May they all rest in peace.

Loved Nancy Marchand as Mrs. Pynchon in "Lou Grant," for which she actually is most remembered. She won FOUR Emmy Awards for that! Outstanding!

[@loklo101]

They forgot Fran Ryan who appeared in dozens of TV shows died January 15th and Helen Martin (Pearl Shay from 227) who died March 25th from a heart attack.

[@calvinkatt662]

No disrespect to Bob Crane, but Werner Klemperer's Colonel Klink was the real star of Hogan's Heroes.

[@MoonOverYou]

I would say they were equals, though Klemperer won two Emmys. It's a shame that Bob Crane never received one. He deserved it as much as Klemperer.

[@FH99]

There was one notable death in the auto racing community that is certainly worth mentioning. 3 time NASCAR Champion and the winner of the very first Daytona 500, Lee Petty passed away on April 5, 2000 of an Abdominal aortic aneurysm at the age of 86. He was one of NASCAR's first superstar drivers.

You must not have known LEO V. GORDON? He did so many Westerns and was in so many shows always the bad guy. He even wrote for Adam 12 . A tall man who said thank God for type casting! He also won the golden boot award for Westerns.

[@bruce8808]

Leo Gordon was very well known on westerns. He also had a guest appearances on The Rockford Files as Charlie Martel. I can still remember when he passed away. I clipped out his picture and article announcing his passing and put in one of my scrapbooks.

[@madbrowniac7871]

You forgot John Newland the host of One Step Beyond that came on the air a few months before the Twilight Zone back in 1959. In my humble opinion, One Step Beyond was better than The Twilight Zone. Back in the late 50's and early 60's, you had some of television greatest science-fiction programs such as One Step Beyond, The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. Rest In Peace John Newland and everybody else who died in 2000.
