Our favorite celebrities live on forever through the art of acting and performing. Their performances and portrayals of fictional characters can make us feel so invested in them while they’re on-screen, that we sometimes tend to forget their humans who eventually realize their own mortality. Many of these epic talents pass away without a word or without a highlight in the media. Other celebrities’ deaths are just so tragic, we choose to move on and suppress the memory.
As we mourn the loss of some of the world’s greatest talents, we’re reminded of the dire need to take care of ourselves and treat our bodies with respect, as well as tender, nurturing care. As you read through this list and reflect on some of the most influential persons in pop culture and entertainment, you’ll realize how important an individual’s state of mental health can be and how necessary it is to visit a doctor annually. A few reached the twilight of their lives while others left this world at an age that was far too young. Regardless, each and every one of them is missed, as is the contribution they gave to the lives of many in the name of art.
