Popular Dead Celebrities
Last fall, Forbes announced a new leader in its “Top-Earning Dead Celebrities” list.
Every year since 2001, Elvis Presley has been the top of that list. But Kurt Cobain passed him up when he earned $50 million between October 2005 and 2006. Here is the link: Link

Musical or otherwise? John Lennon, and Chris Farley.

Half the time I don’t know who the dead people are. They don’t exactly have signs on their forheads that say “dead actor” acting. Even if I once heard that they died, I don’t always remember.
Danny Kaye
Rosemary Clooney
Audrey Hepburn
Jack Benny
Keith Green
Joan of Arc….want me to go on?

I am madly in love with Sylvia Plath.
Is Ghandi dead…? Yes?

elliott smith
What about Tupac?
I hate both Elvis and Kurt Cobain.
My favorite dead celebrities are George Harrison, John Lennon, and Jimmy Stewart.
Wow, sucks to be you with the sleeping thing. I usually take Unisom. It works great for me. One thing that helps me to fall alseep…….(Dont’ knock it till you try it!!) is simply to pray for people! Its true! You get so board of telling God about peoples problems that you doze right off!
(Damn! Just spilled coffee on my boobies!) Oh well, another thing is self hypnosis. Its not hard at all. You simply try and relax…then think of a nice quite place. Maybe a cabin? Your snuggled up on a soft comfy couch drinking hot soy coco! and the fire place is simply beautiful. Its quite and you watch it snow out a large window. …………Just make it your own and peacful.
White noise can be good, like a fan going that you can consentrat on. (I need complete silence~not easy with kids!)
Let me know if you need more ideas! Hope one of them works~many blessings~donna
I think that Kurt Cobain is my favorite one on that list. John Candy and Chris Farley rank pretty high also
Mine is DEFINITELY Elvis Presley. My living room is completely decked out in Elvis. In fact, for Christmas I received three new framed pictures to put on my wall, but I haven’t found a place for them yet because all the walls are covered with him now. I also received 8 Elvis DVDs, a mannequin to display an Elvis costume my mom made for me for one Halloween and a “TLC” lightning bolt necklace.
Well, if Ronald Reagan counts. I miss the gipper!
