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.

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...

Triple Oscar winner Gary Cooper died 6 days after his 60th birthday in 1960. Oh. This is my 60th post, haha!

French biathlete Emmanuelle Claret died of leukemia at age 44. http://www.lequipe.fr/Biathlon/Actualites/Deces-d-emmanuelle-claret/370248

Three days after his 54th birthday, Lex Barker died of a heart attack while walking down the street in New York on May 11, 1973. Happy 40th Anniversary!

Hollywood icon Joan Crawford, born as Lucille Fay LeSueur, died in 1977 aged 72 or 73.

On the 9th of May 1976, German journalist Ulrike Meinhof committed suicide in her prison cell where she was detained since June 1972. She was a founding member of the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion, not Royal Air Force!!), a German left-wing militant group. The RAF described itself as a communist and anti-imperialist urban guerilla group engaged in armed resistance against what they deemed to be a fascist state.

19 years ago George Peppard died at age 65.

Iconic and tragic diva Dalida committed suicide on May 3, 1987 at age 54. She was a singer and actress who performed and recorded in more than 10 languages including: French, Arabic, Italian, Greek, German, English, Japanese, Hebrew, Dutch and Spanish. One of her best known songs is probably “Am Tag als der Regen kam” (German version of “The day the rains came”), which was a No.1 hit in Germany for 10 weeks in the summer of 1959.

Pauline von Mallinckrodt (June 3, 1817 – 30 April 1881) was the German foundress of the Sisters of Christian Charity. The Kindergarten I was in had a tiny relic of one of her bones (from the thigh or maybe the pelvic, can’t remember). As a child I was fascinated by that tiny piece of bone in a framework on the wall in the little chapel next to the Kindergarten... oh those memories...

Never heard of both Billy Grahams before, so I took Superstar B.G. because of one of my favourite songs by The Carpenters called "Superstar"
