2009 top 10 famous deaths in Hollywood

I feel sorry for you Jackson was top Frank Sinatra was great also
but lets not forget 20 years out of his six decades wasn`t special
he was a crooner he didn`t break any grounds or d anything special
for the world. Lets not forget that when Frank was big teenagers
kids would rather listen to the Beattles or Elvis, he was just great at crooning thats it..

God I miss you Michael Jackson, I listen to your music every day. I'll never forget you...

you forgot Natasha Richardson, who's work is more prolific than Billy Mays

What about Heath ledger??

I can't believe Brittany Murphy has passed away!! OMG, that was a HUGE shocker!!! I really looked up to her, this is terrible. She was extremely talented and so very beautiful. Atleast she left us with the memory of some of the Best movies I have ever seen. RIP Brittany, We will adore you forever!!

Trisha Rica

I think Roy E. Disney (Walt Disney's Nephew) should have been included somewhere in the top 10.

I'd stack a 5-decade singer of the caliber of Al Martino all over some voice-over for a cartoon-- like dooood man like "guest" man-- like where you been all these years!

Oh the brashness of youth-- get a clue yungun-- this world didn't begin with your birth!

Bea Arthur???

Bernie Mac?

What about Natasha Richardson? And Ted Kennedy death is very notable in 2009 but on a list of "Hollywood" deaths?

how about gale storm ??? she starred in 2 long running t.v.shows in the 1950s and had a very good singing career...also was the spokesperson for raleigh hills for substance abuse in the 1960s when most celebs didnt dare..

WTF, al Martino!

Who the hell is Al Martino?

No offense dude, but your list is totally off.

Here is a much more accurate and fair list...
1.) Michael Jackson 50
2.) Patrick Swayze 57
3.) Farrah Fawcett 62
4.) Brittany Murphy 32
5.) David Carradine 72
6.) Ted Kennedy 77
7.) Walter Cronkite 92
8.) Ed McMahon 86
9.) Karl Malden 97
10.) Jennifer Jones 90

Al Martino (not "Matino") was 82 when he died, and had been out of the spotlight for years. He played Johnny Fontaine in The Godfather movies. So I don't know that he qualifies for shock value or relative fame compared to Brittany Murphy.

Avenged Sevenfold's 28 year old drummer died on December 28,
at age 28 there is a huge shock value if you ask me

Michael Jackson was the best artist there ever was, He will be truly missed by all his fans and the music business as well
No one will ever come close to Michael Jackson. He will always remain the King of Pop no matter that He is no long here on this Earth.

Brittany Murphy was a HUGE SHOCK! (32 yrs old!!)

plus the shock value for Brittany Murphy was pretty high

Brittany Murphy should also be up there in the list...I loved her movies and she was very cute.

Ted Kennedy was the Lion of the senate, passing more legislation, effectively contributing to policy way beyond JFK & RFK, doing what they did and beyond in the Senate.
