I'd also love to see what Hitchcock or Welles would do with the technology available to them today. I bet we would see some amazing films!

Also, anyone from Club 27.

Where to even begin??? For starters, I'll be forever crushed that we've lost the gifted Philip Seymour Hoffman, James Gandolfini & Heath Ledger.

River Pheonix & Heath Ledger.

Gayeld said...

Gene Kelly. Cary Grant. Clark Gable.

And pretty much everyone else that's been listed.

Robin the Mad Photographer said...

Am I really the first one to mention Kurt Cobain? It would have been interesting to see what he would have done musically after breaking up Nirvana (because that was going to happen sooner or later), not to mention having him around for Frances Bean...

Oopsy_Daisy said...

Kubrick.

Greengrl said...

Totally agree with Freddie Mercury. I would have loved to see him perform in concert.

shudupdee said...

Nonsensic-Al , we both said Richard Pryor at the same time!

BeckyMae said...

Jeff Buckley...I was fortunate enough to see him live twice and it was beyond thrilling both times but also agree with Freddie Mercury, he would have been amazing to see too. Both taken too young...

Jeannie said...

I was shocked to see that this is the first mention of Kurt on here! He's my number one. Also Heath Ledger and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

CoBe said...

Marilyn.

Mainly so that Lindsay Lohan couldn't dress up like her and shit all over her memory anymore.

Sincerely,Your Friend said...

Freddie DAMMM Mercury!

@Sniotches. I couldn't believe anyione mentioned him. I was scrolling down to write his name, but reading as I scrolled and there he was!! Forever <3

I looooovvvvved Freddie. I was pretty young when he died but I already had ex boyfriends and 2 of them sent me flowers upon hearing the news Of The World.

@Vera. I love the Michael Hutchence shout out. Good one.

DavidHowesCREBroker said...

Stevie Ray Van, he still had music left in him when he past away!

Sea Hag said...

Leonardo da Vinci. Just because he's been dead longer makes him no less of a celebrity. He was a rock star in his day. I think a mind like his would blaze no matter when he lived.

skippy said...

Freddie Mercury.

bored soccer mom said...

River Phoenix. I'm still not over it.

And Kurt Cobain.

Missjenny619 said...

BeckyMae, we must be soul mates! He is my #1 too. Huge fan!! I was friends with his mother, Mary and also Keith Foti (only person who was present when Jeff drowned) for a while.

You & I would get along well :)

Jonathan Andrew Sheen said...

I don't care, I'm making it a Twofer:

John Lennon and George Harrison.

Duh.

Snapdragon said...

Phil Hartman was the first to come to mind. Keith Haring. Michael Hutchence. Freddy Mercury.

If we're going historical? Tesla.

Missjenny619 said...

So happy to see a few mentions of Jeff Buckley in here :) I would have loved to hear what could have been.

His fans are few, but passionate. I count the three of you as kindred spirits :)

Yeap Marlon

BeckyMae said...

Oh wow MissJenny that is super cool! He was just so brilliant....and funny....I remember one time I saw him in Sydney and he chided the screaming fan girls in the front to quieter down whilst he played the lofi stuff but added "There'll be time for underwear throwing later..."

Leah said...

Gilda's name was the first that came to mind. She was a genius.

Good one, East Coaster. Not only should Teddy be alive, he should be President again, so he could break up all the "too big to fail"s we got holding out economy hostage.

Great choices! They always had great movies. Even their not so great movies are so much better than what we see today (I'm thinking The Winds of War TV mini-series). How I loved those mini-series of the 70s-80s though.

Rik Mayall, Robert Palmer, Falco, and Michael Hutchence.

Humor Me said...

You said celebrity, right?

Andrew Breitbart.

Farley Granger, he was such a good guy.

Really just one of the most amiable and stand up people you could've ever met. A pioneer in the film industry, a consummate actor's actor, and a tremendous champion of classic films in his last few decades. He would attend any screenings he was asked to, do Q & As, meet with fans, share his wisdom with younger generations. And a pretty big and unsung hero in the LGBT world too. As one of the first major "top billing" stars who refused to hide their sexuality. I took his death hard, as a long time fan, grateful student of his film wisdom shared, and acquaintance.

I was actually about to met him again for a long sit-down interview to help my budding career as a film historian just a few months before he died suddenly. I'll always regret never having had that chance to get to know him better. And I'll always cherish having known such a truly wonderful and inspiring man personally.

RIP to both Farley and Bob Calhoun, such fantastic gentlemen who are sorely missed!

lucy said...

George Carlin. I still heart him.

__-__=__ said...

Everyone I thought of has already been mentioned except Belushi.

Kurt Cobain

Seachica said...

Phil Hartman. I wanted at least 5 more good seasons of Newsradio.

John Lennon, because is love to see how he would have adapted his politics through the last 30 years.

Nick Adenhart (baseball player), because his talent was huge and I would love to see him play with Mike Trout (though maybe Trout wouldn't be quite as good if he hadn't gone through that tragedy)
