25 years old actress Jiah Khan committed suicide. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-22763342

She was the third Golden Girl who passed away (on June 3rd, 2010): Rue McClanahan, our beloved Blanche Devereaux.

@ Spade & Lord: Both of you are right: The Club 27 is about musicians (as I wrote above) and we should suggest about realistic possible deaths. My bad. But I think that there is enough space in this topic so we can expand. We should be "allowed" to talk about actors, athletes, politicians whatever as long as they are dying at 27. I admit that they never will join the "real" club, that's for sure. So I say: Watch out for Amanda Bynes (as mentioned in several other threads) and Lindsay Lohan (...) because both are living their lives on the edge (sometimes).

Watch out for the next potential Club 27 members: These celebrities are 27 up to… …2013 Michael Phelps (up to June 29), Ashley Tisdale (up to July 2), Anna Kendrick (up to August 8), Bruno Mars (up to October 7), Jack Osbourne (up to November 7), Carly Rae Jepsen (up to November 20), Janelle Monáe (up to November 30), Amanda Seyfried (up to December 2) …2014 Mischa Barton (up to January 23), Charlotte Church (up to February 20), Jamie Bell (up to March 13), Lykke Li (up to March 17), Lady Gaga (up to March 27), Amanda Bynes (up to April 2), Robert Pattinson (up to May 12), Alexander Rybak (up to May 12) These celebrities will turn 27 this year: Rafael Nadal (on June 3), Shia LeBeouf (on June 11), Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen (both on June 13), Lana Del Rey (on June 21), Lindsay Lohan (on July 2), Charlotte Casiraghi (on August 3), Florence Welch (on August 28), Theo Hutchcraft (on August 30), Tinchy Stryder (on September 14), Ellie Goulding (on December 30)

One of the unnamed and unofficial members of the Club 27: Alexandra. Born as Doris Treitz on May 19, 1942, Alexandra became a German chanson singer with songs ahead of their time. Her deep voice and her moody/melancholic songs were different from the popular and cheerful Schlager but her music was well received by the audience and the critics. On July 31, 1969 Alexandra was killed in a traffic collision at the age of 27 years and 73 days.

Never heard of her but at least she is a Jane: http://www.brandonsun.com/business/breaking-news/former-ns-cabinet-minister-and-newspaper-editor-jane-purves--dead-at-63-209813591.html

British actor Sir Reginald Carey “Rex” Harrison, Academy Award-, Golden Globe- and Tony Award- winner for My Fair Lady, died on June 2nd, 1990 in New York City.

31 years ago, on May 29 1982, international film actress Romy Schneider died because of a cardiac arrest (maybe caused by taking alcohol and sleeping pills). She was 43 years old.

Hildegard Krekel maybe in her mid-twenties: She was rather a TV and comedy actress than a cinema actress. She also synchronizes the German voices for e.g. Helen Mirren and Bette Davis.

Well-known German actress Hildegard Krekel has passed away because of cancer at age 60. Sorry, I didn't found an English link... http://www.welt.de/newsticker/leute/stars/article116554443/Schauspielerin-Hildegard-Krekel-ist-gestorben.html

By the way: Is there a thread about "Club 27"? If LiLo makes it until July 2nd 2013 she could be a potential new member...

The elder sister of Olivia Newton-John has died. http://www.smh.com.au/national/mother-model-was-much-more-than-olivias-older-sister-20130525-2n460.html

Thank you/ Oh yes, pleeeease!/ No, never did anything like that. Me and my younger brother (Booklet, haha!) created some lists about several topics just out of boredom and fun. Those lists are never complete, e.g. I forgot to mention Jamiroquais "Too young to die". Give me 5 minutes and I will name you 5 other songs... It's fun!

Marianne Faithfull - Sister Morphine

Danish silent film actress Asta Nielsen, one of the most popular leading ladies of the 1910s, died on May 24 (or 25) in 1972, aged 90.

Maybe the EGOTs – people who have won all four major annual American entertainment awards: the Emmy, the Grammy, the Oscar and the Tony. Eleven artists have won all four awards in competitive categories, 5 of them are already gone (Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, John Gielgud and Marvin Hamlisch). These six are left: Rita Moreno, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg and Scott Rudin. There are also three artists who have won three of these awards in competitive categories plus one non-competitive award (Honory or Legend Award). These three artists are: Barbra Streisand, Liza Minelli and Earl James Jones. All nine combined = an illustrious group

The one and only Dame Margaret Rutherford passed away on May 22, 1972, 11 days after her 80th birthday.

Klaus Mann, one of my favorite German writers, committed suicide on May 21, 1949 aged 42. His father was Thomas Mann, winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize in literature. Klaus never came out of his father’s shadow. His complete work got more positive recognitions when he was dead for nearly 30 years.

...And 3 days later came Robin Gibb's death in 2012. In 1979 Donna Summer and the Bee Gees had back-to-back-to-back No.1s in the US: 02.06.79: Donna Summer hit the No.1 with Hot Stuff for one week. 09.06.79: The Bee Gees knocked her off with Love You Inside Out also for one week. 16.06.79: Donna Summer returned to the top with Hot Stuff for another two weeks. Two disco superheroes within three days... nothing left to say but TRAGEDY

Singer and songwriter Alan O'Day died of brain cancer two days ago. He had a Billboard No.1-Single with "Undercover Angel" in July 1977 (for one week) and wrote another No.1 hit: Angie Baby for Helen Reddy in December 1974 (also for one week). http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1562866/undercover-angel-singer-alan-oday-dead-at-72

Again another dead gay porn actor: Koh Masaki, 29. http://www.queerty.com/koh-masaki-japans-leading-gay-porn-star-dead-at-29-20130518/

Very nice! I would be interested in some TV series from the 80s and 90s like Falcon Crest, Dynasty or Beverly Hills 90210. Or maybe the last 10 or 20 ESC or Academy Award winners (leading role male/female). And where do we see the results?

First anniversary for Donna Summer. Still so sad...
