Remarkable how many lung and heart problems killed relatively young people. The reduction in smoking clearly has had a big impact on extending life over the last 35 years
Oh yeah! And those commercials were hilarious, not only bc of Clara Peller & her 2 friends: "it's a mighty big bun," But the itty-bitty beef patty inside the big bun! 😂😂😂😂😂 God bless her, and everyone mentioned here. RIP🕊🕊
Ugh! They showed that commercial again and again and again until everyone I knew was sick of it. They had tee shirts that said WHERE'S THE BEEF? Denny's had something called "Here's the Beef". It was just the way she delivered the line that made it funny.
I watched that movie on HBO probably 20 times in early '85 while recuperating from being struck by a car and getting both my legs broken. Have it on DVD now.
Dean passed on Christmas Day, 1995. His son was an Air Force pilot in the year 1987. I was in the USAF active duty then and stationed at March AFB, in Moreno Valley, Ca. He flew an F-4 Phantom aircraft with a co-pilot on the day he passed, March 21, crashing into one of the nearby mountains around the base. I went on a search and recovery effort along with hundreds of other airman from the base. He and his co-pilot were killed in the fighter jet crash. The plane they flew was utterly destroyed, strewn over the mountain range. Human remains were found there as well, scattered along with military clothing items. I myself found such items. Yes, Dean was not the same after this. He lived another 9 years at least. I visit his crypt when I visit Marilyn's as well. I think of his music, movies and his son as an Air National Guard pilot.
Both Buddy Rich and Lee Marvin served in the US Marines during WW 2. Rich served stateside as a judo instructor training other US Marines in unarmed hand to hand combat and Marvin was a combat veteran who took part in the invasion of Saipan and was wounded in battle.
I know that Jackie Gleason was a legendary performer from the early days of television itself, but to me, he'll forever always be Sheriff Buford T. Justice.
Danny Kaye died from a blood transfusion that wasn’t filtered or screened properly- some sources say it was Hepatitis and others saying it was AIDS…..He was a brilliant performer…RIP
Hugh Brannum grew old in front of a generation of kids. He was fairly young at the beginning of Captain Kangaroo and an old man at the end of the show.
Lloyd Haynes was terrific in his role as a high school teacher in L.A. as "Mr. Dixon" in "Room 222" (1969-'74). One of best TV Shows of all time, winning countless awards. He also had a role in Chuck Norris's first solo Movie in "Good Guys Wear Black"(1978)....True
Bassist Jaco Pastorious didn’t simply die of a brain hemorrhage….you forgot to mention he was murdered by an overzealous, meathead bar bouncer by the name of Luc Havan, who was a martial arts expert.
This was really touching to see and thanks for sharing your production! VERY impressive and we lost so many GREATS that year. May they all rest in peace................😔🙏
One name I saw missing Elizabeth Hartman actress died 6/10/87. From a suicide was a great actress but had very serious mental problems Patch of Blue was her most famous film she almost won an Oscar for her roll
Oh THAT'S Quinn Martin! And to think all these years, for some reason, I thought Quinn Martin was TWO people whose last names were Quinn and Martin, like Hanna and Barbera. 😁
This was very well done! Jackie Vernon was a consummate comedian who endeared himself to many,myself included. The bits he did that cracked me up the most were the ones he created while doing a slide show presentation. May he RIP
My parents and I was driving from Anaheim,CA to Las Vegas one night back in 1986 or '87 I believe, when we heard of the passing of Jackie Vernon on the car radio. True Story...He was the voice of "Frosty The Snowman"(1968)......
One slight correction, however: Alf Landon was 101 years of age when he passed away...not 100. He was born in September of 1887, and passed in October of 1987. I remember it in the newspaper at the time, which correctly said age 101. I checked Wikipedia and they made the same mistake as this video (even though they listed the birth/death dates correctly). It could be that this video used Wikipedia -- however two sources getting it wrong does seem to indicate that perhaps not a lot of care was taken. All one has to do is read the dates.
(8:26) Alf Landon, 100 years old. Cause of death..."undisclosed." Can't imagine how a healthy 100 year old could just up and die... I might be going out on a limb here, but I would guess "natural causes" (such as organ failure).
Great actors in their time. I was in Elementary School that year and was in 2nd-3rd Grade. I didn't know they passed that year and was unaware of their deaths and how they died. Great video of them.
I had forgotten all the many famous television, film, and music people that died that year, and the others, too. It seemed like an awful lot of famous faces. Many died way before their time. 😢Thanks for putting together a beautiful tribute to all of them. 🙌
Not sure on the David Susskind obit you needed to include the word, "fatal..." as his presence in this video makes clear it was. Wonderful presentation though!
My dad could have been Jackie Gleason's twin! When i see him, i hear my dad's voice doing " and away we go". I miss him but know he's with God. Passed in 15 at 89. WWII veteran 1st Marine Division Guadalcanal iwo jima, Pellilu 2 purple 💜 hearts 4 combat action ribbing. The greatest generation..unlike the triggered little everyone gets a trophy and safe space young hipsters!
My grandfather, who was 91 had a heart attack, but did not die right away. He went to the hospital where he received care as much as possible. At that age the doctors could not operate on him (too risky) and let him know his full recovery would not happen, medically speaking. He passed away in less than a month later in Oct 2010.

Here's the thing I take away from this reminder ..... The chief goal in life should be to simply live as long as possible - don't do anything to shorten your freaking life.
What about Arthur Lake "Dagwood" in the "Blondie" movies or first black Chicago mayor Harold Washington? And what about Pawel Monat who fooled the "To Tell The Truth" panel in 1963? And Ohio State coaching legend Woody Hayes?
Not great but infamous: Rene Levesque, Premier of Quebec from 1976 to 1985, launched the Quebec Independence movement. Died November 1st, 65, heart attack
Dean Paul Martin was killed in a plane crash. it was probably, although we will never fully know, a variety of factors that caused the crash although the simple explanation was he slammed it into a mountain.

I don't remember hearing about deans son or that he even had a son, Annnd that his son was married to Dorothy Hamill. Dorothy was such a cuty with her Dorothy haircut and skating her way to Gold in the '76 Olympics in Montreal, Canada.

F-4 Phantom crash into mountain near March AFB, Moreno Valley, Ca. It is now a reserve base only. I know, I was stationed there in March 1987 when he crashed.
It is Victor. I have his series he did called Battlestar Galactica from the late '70s. I also have the movie Earthquake from 1974, which he had a lead role. I would recognize that voice anywhere.
Lorne Greene said "Television has a tremendous responsibility to tell the truth."
Wonder what he would think of it today.
I have a feeling he would be very disappointed.
Not much
Tv today is a million stupid commercials
Remarkable how many lung and heart problems killed relatively young people. The reduction in smoking clearly has had a big impact on extending life over the last 35 years
And drinking
So many great stars left us in 87'. Loved Hayden Rorke on I Dream Of Jennie.
Full-Bird Colonel "Dr.Bellows"...
"He's done it to me again"
Many of us who grew up in the 80's will remember Clara Peller for her most popular "Where's the beef?" catchphrase in early 80's Wendy's commercials.
She was an example of “You’re never too old”. She didn’t become famous until she was in her 80s.
Oh yeah! And those commercials were hilarious, not only bc of Clara Peller & her 2 friends: "it's a mighty big bun," But the itty-bitty beef patty inside the big bun! 😂😂😂😂😂
God bless her, and everyone mentioned here. RIP🕊🕊
Do you think we will remember!!??
Many of us.. .......I hope!!!
Idiot!
@@DecgyrrlI remember that commercial very well. Where's the beef? 😄😄😄😄😄😄. And Joyce Jameson was one of the Fun Girls on The Andy Griffith Show.
Ugh! They showed that commercial again and again and again until everyone I knew was sick of it. They had tee shirts that said WHERE'S THE BEEF? Denny's had something called "Here's the Beef". It was just the way she delivered the line that made it funny.
Rita Hayworth was so beautiful!
miss fuzzy britches
I have all of her movies now on HD Blu-ray. Several original photos as well. Yeah, I am a Rita Hayworth fan, especially her 1940s era.
Lots of familiar faces in this video, my all time favorite though is Rita Hayworth. Arguably the most beautiful woman EVER ❤😊
She was also Latina but Hollywood wanted to keep that a secret!🙆🤦😱
My mom also passed away on November 15, 1987. She was 80 years old and died of natural causes. May she RIP.
Many will remember actor Robert Preston as "Centauri" in the movie The Last Starfighter. Thank you for the video!
I watched that movie on HBO probably 20 times in early '85 while recuperating from being struck by a car and getting both my legs broken. Have it on DVD now.
My mom passed in Oct 87. I still miss her today.
God bless you buddy. Savior. JESUS keep you safe always
RIP sorry for your loss.
You will always miss her as I miss my Dad 01/02/1987
@@GaryTrent-qi4ch My dad also died in 1987.
Rat Bolger was "The Scarecrow" in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939)...He also played Shirley Jones father in TV'S "The Partridge Family" (1970-1974).....
"Ray" Bolger
After his son died, Dean Martin largely died too.
Dean passed on Christmas Day, 1995. His son was an Air Force pilot in the year 1987. I was in the USAF active duty then and stationed at March AFB, in Moreno Valley, Ca.
He flew an F-4 Phantom aircraft with a co-pilot on the day he passed, March 21, crashing into one of the nearby mountains around the base.

My mother, 45, cancer, April 2. Miss you, mom.
These people been gone for 36 years now. It really doesn’t seem that long ago.
Both Buddy Rich and Lee Marvin served in the US Marines during WW 2. Rich served stateside as a judo instructor training other US Marines in unarmed hand to hand combat and Marvin was a combat veteran who took part in the invasion of Saipan and was wounded in battle.
I know that Jackie Gleason was a legendary performer from the early days of television itself, but to me, he'll forever always be Sheriff Buford T. Justice.
"And Away We Go"!! Jackie Gleason was "The Great One"!......
I watched his Saturday night variety show in the 60s until a friend said no no let's watch "Get Smart". haha
Danny Kaye died from a blood transfusion that wasn’t filtered or screened properly- some sources say it was Hepatitis and others saying it was AIDS…..He was a brilliant performer…RIP
Jackie Vernon also was the Voice of Frosty the Snowman.

Honourable mention to Elizabeth Hartman, loved her in Secret of NIMH. Also Oscar nominated.
Thank you for the video. My mother passed away on February 19th 1987.
In addition to his skills as a comedian, Jackie Gleason was a dramatic actor and a conductor of easy-listening music.
Randolph Scott was a fine movie actor. God bless him
"High Noon(1952)....
I knew the name but hadn’t seen any of his movies until a few months ago. Pretty decent entertainment.
Always think of him immortalised in Blazing Saddles....."you'd do it for Randolph Scott"....
Wow so many famous people passed away that year. Rest in peace.
Bassist Jaco Pastorious didn’t simply die of a brain hemorrhage….you forgot to mention he was murdered by an overzealous, meathead bar bouncer by the name of Luc Havan, who was a martial arts expert.
Gilda with rita hayworth is the movie all the prisoners are watching in shawshank redemption

@@noahhyde8769 1887 to 1987 is 100 years, not 101. He'd have had to either been born in 1886, or died in 1988 to be 101.
Strangely, I remember a lot of these deaths from this particular year. I guess I was watching a lot of television as a 10 year old in 1987.
Wow so many amazingly talented people gone for so long but not forgotten ❤️
I also lost my father, whom I loved dearly, to a heart attack in 1987 on April 1.
God bless you buddy. Savior JESUS keep you safe always
Me too. My dad died on May 6, 1987.
My father passed away the same day as Jackie Gleason. Will always miss him.
Thanks I really appreciate these videos ❤
1987.
AIDs reaped many thousands..Tough Year.
1985, Rock Hudson...same thing.
Joyce Jameson was so pretty!
(8:26) Alf Landon, 100 years old. Cause of death..."undisclosed."
Can't imagine how a healthy 100 year old could just up and die...
I might be going out on a limb here, but I would guess "natural causes" (such as organ failure).
I lost a girlfriend the night before Thanksgiving in 1987 in a car accident near Pueblo Colorado. Thanks for the memories.
This batch has so many celebrities who died early - in their 50s, 60s and early 70s.
Great actors in their time. I was in Elementary School that year and was in 2nd-3rd Grade. I didn't know they passed that year and was unaware of their deaths and how they died. Great video of them.
My Father WW2 Vet passed 01/02/1987 (63) was on USS ST LOUIS 1939-1942 Pneumonia, Lewis (louie luke)Calvin Trent

Jackie Gleason was awesome
Loved Lumpy Brannum. RIP
Dick Shaw played Jack Trippers father on a episode of Three's Company 😊
Dick Shawn. He's LSD in The original "The Producers."
Now how did I miss that? I thought I'd seen all the episodes!
You forgot Cathryn Damon who played Mary Campbell in Soap.
Not sure on the David Susskind obit you needed to include the word, "fatal..." as his presence in this video makes clear it was. Wonderful presentation though!
Lots of big names went down that year.
Always celebrate New Years Eve/Day watching Fred and Ginger!

You forgot to mention Starlet Elizabeth Hartman(1943- June 10th, 1987)
What's the difference between dying from a "heart attack" and a "fatal heart attack"?
My grandfather, who was 91 had a heart attack, but did not die right away. He went to the hospital where he received care as much as possible. At that age
the doctors could not operate on him (too risky) and let him know his full recovery would not happen, medically speaking. He passed away in less than a month later in Oct 2010.
My guess is however it was listed in the published obituary.
Geraldine page, Angie in Hondo with John Wayne and mrs Lovelace in the blue and the gray (Vicksburg citizen)
Clint Eastwood movie also, where he was an injured Union Soldier and was taken in by her and her girl school. The Beguiled, 1971.
Wonderful group of people who made a difference in this world.
Dalida died in 1987 too
That scarecrow though hit the nail on the head.
why is that all of these celebrities who died in 1987 channels always leave the name archie campbell off he was the best part of hee haw.

So,many,,sad,,,memorys
I know my grandad and Lee Marvin fought in the same battle in ww2. Always curious if they ran across each other. Though slim a chance as it may be
We sadly also lost a magnificent and very beautiful french singer Yolanda Glgliotti "Dalida"
A lot of heart attacks
Everyone smoked back then
yes and at younger ages 50s and 60s too young
They left out my favorite all time TV show produced by Quinn Martin The Streets of San Francisco

of course not, he died in 1989.

Bud dwyer incident was crazy
Best drummer ever 2:51 🥁
Jaco Pastorius died from a brain hemorrhage due to a beating he took from a bouncer at a nightclub.
Peace to all!
Most made the transition by heart disease aka: heart attack or pneumonia.
Agree and also at young ages 50s and 60s
Sadly, James Coco only died of a "heart attack" while David Susskind died of a "fatal heart attack" 😢.
What about Arthur Lake "Dagwood" in the "Blondie" movies or first black Chicago mayor Harold Washington? And what about Pawel Monat who fooled the "To Tell The Truth" panel in 1963? And Ohio State coaching legend Woody Hayes?
Not great but infamous: Rene Levesque, Premier of Quebec from 1976 to 1985, launched the Quebec Independence movement. Died November 1st, 65, heart attack
Interesting and well done but if I was to subscribe to this, it would depress the hell out of me
Can you clarify "aviation accident and incident"? Thanks.
Dean Paul Martin was killed in a plane crash. it was probably, although we will never fully know, a variety of factors that caused the crash although the simple explanation was he slammed it into a mountain. But he knew the mountains were nearby, yet the air traffic controller could not clear him to ascend quickly because of heavy civilian air travel above him.
Thus, it was both an accident but it was also an incident. It is also believed that Martin was distressed over the fact that his ex-wife Dorothy Hamill, the famous ice skater, had just remarried two weeks earlier and he had just learned about it.
Never knew Deanos son was killed in this year
I don't remember hearing about deans son or that he even had a son, Annnd that his son was married to Dorothy Hamill. Dorothy was such a cuty with her Dorothy haircut and skating her way to Gold in the '76 Olympics in Montreal, Canada.
In the U.S. we were also celebrating our Nation's Bicentennial, with next year being 250 already.
Also in those same Olympics was a multiple Gold Medal winning decathalete by the name of Bruce Jenner. Smh.
F-4 Phantom crash into mountain near March AFB, Moreno Valley, Ca. It is now a reserve base only. I know, I was stationed there in March 1987 when he crashed.
Jesus Christ, I watched the R Budd Dwyer's suicide in front of all cameras. Such a horrific scene.
