While we have been merrily living our lives, take a look at those who have left us. The numbers in parentheses are star power rankings from wikipedia, both for actors (1-25) and for actresses (1-25). I have added about 400 others, whom I have deemed worthy of inclusion.

As a reminder of the sands passing through the hourglass, what better reference points than the passing of those familiar to us all. Humble yourself - thy time cometh, as well.

1. Primarily Silent Screen Star names are shown in BOLD PINK, if most or many films made were silent.

2. Natural Causes - Nobody dies of "natural causes". It simply means, "We are not going to tell you the cause of death." In some cases, it is a euphemism for "it is not for you to know." We may not get to know the TRUE cause of death, for a variety of reasons (drugs, alcoholism, unpopular disease, depravity, protection of family reputation, etc.).

3. Interment - This column is new and incomplete, but I am adding to it over time.

4. For Birth Name, Birthplace, Filmography, Spouses, Short Bio and Place of Death, please refer to the appropriate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Name web page.

5. Inclusion criteria - must have made at least one movie in the 1950s or earlier.

6. I have personally met 3 movie actors/ actresses -
    Dorothy Neumann (1953 - Palms, CA - next door neighbor on Mentone Ave., Palms, CA),
    Randolph Scott (1954 - Calabasas, CA - Warner Bros. Ranch employee picnic), and
    Don Haggerty (1954 - West L.A., CA - He lived near Shenandoah Elementary School).

7. I detest the term actor when applied to a woman. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford would have slapped you silly, if you called them an "actor".
    Along the same lines, I hate BCE for BC, and CE for AD, person hole for manhole, etc.
    I am old. I don't like things changed, that have been just fine for HUNDREDS OF YEARS. To heck with PC. There is no way I am ever going to call a waitress a "waiter". Lunacy.
