A Tribute to the Actors Who Died Way Before Their Time

[Lindsey]

With the recent passing of Heath Ledger still fresh in all of our minds, it makes me saddened to think of all the great actors who have passed way before their time. They were taken away from us too young, and it makes you wonder what great things they could have done today. We have to look aside that, and remember them for who they were, and all the amzaing accomplishments they made in their life.

John Cazale.

The only actor in the history of cinema with a flawless filmography. And it depresses the shit out of me.

Cazale appeared in only five feature films in his career, and all of them were nominated for Best Picture.

Tupac Shakur, 1971-1996

Died in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Had a promising acting career from what I'd seen in Gang Related, Gridlock'd and Juice. Yet somehow he's also managed to release more albums dead than he has alive.... :eek:

She is the utterly amazing, and talented Karen Carpenter.

Nice to see Mitch getting some love. He was great in his limited screen time (That 70's show)...

don't forget Robert Shaw(From Russia With Love and Jaws, and that's just 2 of his films).
There's a good chance he would've become an Oscar-winning knight like his spiritual brothers Sean Connery and Michael Caine if he was still with us.

There's also Dominique Dunne(Poltergeist), a beautiful girl like her 'sister' Heather O'Rourke.
The others already listed deserve equal praise.
