He passed away on July 2, 1973; the same day as Betty Grable. 2) Anna Magnani - Won the best actress oscar for her role in Rose Tattoo. Passed away on September 26, 1973 3) Jack Hawkins - Co-Starred in the film The Bridge on the River Kwai, and was the first husband of actress Jessica Tandy. Passed away on July 18, 1973 4) Allan Lane - Best known as the voice of Mister Ed. Passed away on October 27, 1973
……Jack Hawkins, like many British actors’ of the era, had a magnificent voice. When an extended version of film, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ was released, actor Charles Gray did ‘voiceover’ for Hawkins’ role as Gen Allenby.…………as Hawkins had died…………
Edward G. Robinson's death scene in Soylent Green was, literally, the last scene he ever shot. Charlton Heston later recalled: "He knew while we were shooting, though we did not, that he was terminally ill. He never missed an hour of work, nor was late to a call. He never was less than the consummate professional he had been all his life. I'm still haunted, though, by the knowledge that the very last scene he played in the picture, which he knew was the last day's acting he would ever do, was his death scene. I know why I was so overwhelmingly moved playing it with him".
Edward G Robinson was originally scheduled to play Dr. Zaius in Planet of the Apes but his doctors determined the makeup and hot sun were too much for his heart to bear
When I was in school, both my class, and few other classes, saw the 1963 movie, A Boy Ten Feet Tall, which staŕred Edward G. Robinson. After the movie, we went back to our classroom, and the teacher asked both me and my class questions about the movie. And it was on the same day that he had died; which was on January 26, 1973. (I was only 15 then.) Isn't that strange?
This is a good video but it forgot to include David Akeman, who was know as "Stringbean" on the series Hee-Haw. He was murdered on November 10, 1973 after coming home after a performance at the Grand Ole Opry. David Akeman's death was an inexplicable and senseless tragedy!
I have read that David did not trust banks, so hid his money at home. Would be thieves were the ones that murdered him and his wife. They could not find the money and were caught. Years later, a person that had bought the house found the money behind a fireplace. Most of it had been ruined by bugs, rodents, and moisture.
Honorable mentions: Roger Delgado who played The Master in Doctor Who (1971-73). Killed in a road accident in Turkey on 18th June 1973 aged 55. James Beck - Known for playing cockney spiv Private Walker in Dad’s Army. Died 6th August 1973 from pancreatitis aged 44.
This was a gruesome year for the Indianapolis 500. On May 12th, popular driver Art Pollard was killed while practicing for the race. A few weeks later during the Indy 500, Swede Savage was involved in a horrific, fiery accident and died on July 2, 1973.
I LIKE THIS CHANNEL INTERESTING I AM 61. I GREW UP WITH SO MANY OF THESE PEOPLE. WATCHING THEM ON TV OR GOING TO THE MOVIES OR LISTENING TO THEIR MUSIC. WE ALL HAVE TO LEAVE THIS EARTH SOMEDAY . TO EVERYONE REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE GOD BLESS YOU AMEN.
R.I.P. Michael Dunn. 10 guest appearances on The Wild Wild West. He also guest starred on Bonanza as George Marshall. His character was mild mannered opposite as Dr. Loveless.
Allan Sherman actually reprised his voice role as the Cat in the Hat in the Dr. Seuss on the Loose T. V. Special which aired just five weeks before he passed away.
Honoring the Famous Faces We Lost in 1973. A poignant reminder of the enduring impact these individuals had on our culture and collective memory. May their legacies continue to inspire.
It amazes me that it was so long ago. That these people have been gone for over fifty years. Quite a few recognizable stars that I remember hearing about when they died. I was only twelve at the time. At sixty three, it seems odd to me that some of the stars I remember had died were much younger than me now. I'm twice the age of Bruce Lee? doesn't seem possible.. Even though it's strange, I can still think of them as being adults though the eyes of a twelve year old. It's like time has stopped. RIP to them all.
Same. I'm a bit younger, but looking at those people and realizing I'm about the same age or older seems... Wrong. To be fair though, many looked objectively older than they were. Some people looked 70 in their late forties.
@@zanizone3617 you make an excellent point. a lot of people looked older than their real age. Their clothes can have an impact on their looks. especially when the clothes can look so dated, and formal. Polyester isn't a youthful look anymore. Their hair styles too can also play a part in looking older, but still it seems surreal to me. However, even though, when I see them though the eyes of a 12 year old kid, just one look into the mirror has reality slapping me in the face. lol.
Wow! So many of these folks died a lot younger back then, than they are in this day & age. I guess it's due to better health care. May they all rest in peace. Lovely tribute music.🕊💐🪽🌙
I know, he was just getting started and I’m convinced his career would’ve gone exactly the same way as Jimmy Buffet’s, they had roughly the same styles
I was just getting ready for school the next morning when I heard this on the radio. And this happened on the same night as the Billie Jean King-Bobby Riggs tennis match. And Jim Croce would have been 81 this year (2024). But his music still lives on. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Apparently, she was something even better, too. Very, very kind. She was renowned for her lack of jealousy of younger actresses, & totally uncompetitive. She helped many of the new girls to succeed, including Marilyn Monroe, who took over her spot as the resident blonde bombshell at Twentieth Century Fox. She said she'd had her run, now it was Marilyn's turn, & wished her luck. Great respect, dear lady. A fine example. 🌟
One name left off this video is character actor Ludwig Stossel, who was in movies such as Casablanca, Call Me Madam, Woman of the Year and Pride of the Yankees (he played Papa Gehrig in that). Stossel was best known for his long-running series of TV commercials for E & J Gallo's Italian Swiss Colony wines, in which he portrayed the Little Old Winemaker (catchphrase: "That little old winemaker, me!"). He died on 1/30/1973 of injuries suffered in a fall at home. He was just days from celebrating his 90th birthday.
I can't believe you missed David "Stringbean" Akeman. He was an original performer on the Grand Ole Opry and a Hee Haw performer. He and his wife were murdered by burglars on November 10, 1973 in what became one of the most notorious murder cases in Tennessee history.
Yeah, one of the great entertainers of his day! There have been updates and I'm sure that compiling these productions is time-consuming and a labor of love. Maybe they'll include Stringbean in the next version of these compilations for 1973.
Clarence White was a phenomenal guitarist with The Byrds and can be seen in a few episodes of The Andy Griffith Show as a member of the musical Darling family The circumstances of Gram Parsons’ death were pretty strange. He’d said when he died he wanted to be buried at Joshua Tree monument. So when he died, 2 of his friends stole his body before it could be taken to the family crypt in Louisiana. They took it out to the desert and lit the coffin on fire and were later charged with illegal disposal of a body
Wally Cox was a very multitalented man but a reluctant “star” and his death was first believed to be a suicide. His Hollywood Squares friend Peter Marshall disputed that because he knew Wally had a running beef with the phone company and it would’ve been so unlike him to give up on a battle like that, to leave it unfinished. So a suicide would’ve been out of character for him
As usual, another great array of entertainers and other notable people of yesteryear. My two favorites being Edward G Robinson and Irene Ryan. I guess I wrote too soon, I hadn't seen Veronica Lake. Also I like how you disclose their actual cause of death
Just looked up Clarence White in Wikipedia “White died on July 15, 1973, after being struck by a drunk driver. The accident occurred shortly after 2 a.m., while he and his brother Roland were loading equipment into their car in Palmdale, California, following a White Brothers concert.” That’s more accurate that having people assume he got hit while he was driving.
I remember reading the staten Island advance and finding out bruce lee died. I told my friend richie and he didn't believe me, so i showed him the paper. We were sad all day, it seemed impossible. I was 16 and full of dreams and hope for the future. Now only gloom and doom. Oh well , what can you do?
After he passed away, there was a strange occurrence on the set during the next set of tapings. The lighting of the square on the outside and inside of the upper left corner started flickering on and off for no apparent reason.
They also left out Diana Sands; the black actress who was in A Raisin in the Sun with Sidney Poitier. She died of cancer back on September 21, 1973; the same day that my favorite actress and the idol of my youth, Eva Gabor, married her fifth and final husband, aerospace executive Frank Gard Jameson, in Claremont, CA; just east of Los Angeles. She had just started to make the 1974 film Claudine. But then, she was just too sick to continue, and then Diahann Carroll took her place in the title role. Diana Sands was only 39 when she died
Irene Ryan and John Banner died so soon after their iconic TV shows ended. I also want to give a shout out to Bruce Lee and Michael Dunn. Brue Lee movies and reruns of the Wild Wild West were a big part of my childhood.
I feel as though these amazing people existed in a different reality, not just a different time. The thought that only a few could possibly be alive today must today makes this all the more poignant.
Really great channel and appreciated. One thing: you are missing some very big aspects of certain people you have highlighted. For instance, Glenn Strange. Nice that you mentioned Frankenstein and Lone Ranger. But, his most memorable accomplishment was him portraying 'Sam' the bartender of the Longbranch Saloon on Gunsmoke for 12 years. Wanted to mention a few other glaring oversights but don't want to be nagging. Anyway, thanx a lot for your very thoughtful channel.
As per the Personal Dedication to Irving Rosenthal at the end, I didn't realize Palisades Amusement Park was closed by 1971. I can still hear the advertising jingle inviting people to "come on over."
Martial artist, yes. Philosophical and spiritual genius? Hardly. Fortune cookie level of sayings don't make for philosophy or spirituality. And aside from his martial arts, he couldn't act worth a crap. His English was limited. He was basically a one trick pony.
Wow, it's hard to believe Wally Cox died of a heart attack. The man was SO thin. He was funny in everything I saw him in, but his role as a pickpocket on Car 54 Where Are You was hilarious!
A very bad miss was Frank Leahy, coach of Notre Dame from 1941-1953. Winner of 4 national titles in a 7 year span, coached 4 Heisman Trophy winners and recruited a 5th, and still holds the 2nd highest winning percentage in college football only behind his former coach, Knute Rockne.
There were quite a few that died young in 1950s and 1960s as well for actors including Humphrey Bogart in 1957 at age 57, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland etc all died in 1960s.
RIP President Johnson. Even though I was only 9 years old, I remember the evening when Walter Cronkite announced his death on the evening news because my Dad turned up the volume on the TV to listen.
I somehow think Glenn Strange would be better known by the Public for Gunsmoke than for anything else, he was in 247 episodes of a very popular TV show
on Jan 22 1973 I heard Johnson died ... All I could think about at the time was his Vietnam failure ... and having mixed emotions about his death .. As of this date I don't care one way or another about him .

Jim Croce's guitar player Maury died in that plane crash too.
……Jack Hawkins, like many British actors’ of the era, had a magnificent voice. When an extended version of film, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ was released, actor Charles Gray did ‘voiceover’ for Hawkins’ role as Gen Allenby.…………as Hawkins had died…………
Anna Magnani was also the first acting Oscar winner that won for a role that wasn't in English.

Edward G Robinson was originally scheduled to play Dr. Zaius in Planet of the Apes but his doctors determined the makeup and hot sun were too much for his heart to bear
@@jennifersman7990……he was ‘replaced’ by Shakespearean actor, Maurice Evans’, who was excellent that role………
@@elizabethroberts6215 Yes, Evans also played Samantha’s father on Bewitched but he probably gained a whole new audience just from that film

No mention of Robert Ryan. A great actor who died July 11, 1973
R.I.P. Jim Croce.
Sooooo MANY died YOUNG!!!! I didn't realize Betty Grable was that young when she passed!!!! Thank-You for showing these!!!!
Glenn Strange was Sam the bartender on Gunsmoke many years. He only appeared in a few episodes of The Lone Ranger.
Thanks...you beat me to it
He got all of Kitty's and Matt's drinks (beer) and played a pretty good bouncer.
Yeah. I thought it was strange that they didn't mention that, even though they showed his picture dressed as Sam.
@@danieljones8587 Especially with a double barrel shotgun behind the bar.
He also played Frankenstein in a movie too.
Honorable mentions:
Roger Delgado who played The Master in Doctor Who (1971-73). Killed in a road accident in Turkey on 18th June 1973 aged 55.
James Beck - Known for playing cockney spiv Private Walker in Dad’s Army. Died 6th August 1973 from pancreatitis aged 44.
Roger Delgado was the first and best to play The Master.
@@calvinkatt662Oh so true.
His passing was a main reason Jon Pertwee left the show.
As long as we have old movies and tv,they never die.
Your so right. I appreciate 🙏 💛 the way you feel.
This was a gruesome year for the Indianapolis 500. On May 12th, popular driver Art Pollard was killed while practicing for the race. A few weeks later during the Indy 500, Swede Savage was involved in a horrific, fiery accident and died on July 2, 1973.
The start of that 1973 race was scary as hell, debris from one car as well as alcohol based fuel sprayed into the crowd
Jim Croce was such a great singer-songwriter.
He didn't live long enough to enjoy his success.
I’m convinced if Croce lived he would’ve had EXACTLY the same career as Jimmy Buffett
I think he would have been bigger.I have wanted a bioflick about Croce ever since his death.
I think it's bigger than Jimmy Buffett.
I can remember what I was doing & where I was when Jim’s death was announced
I LIKE THIS CHANNEL INTERESTING I AM 61. I GREW UP WITH SO MANY OF THESE PEOPLE. WATCHING THEM ON TV OR GOING TO THE MOVIES OR LISTENING TO THEIR MUSIC. WE ALL HAVE TO LEAVE THIS EARTH SOMEDAY . TO EVERYONE REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE GOD BLESS YOU AMEN.
My grandmother went to high school with Vaughn Monroe. He also wrote the school's alma mater, Jeannette Senior High School in Pennsylvania
R.I.P. Michael Dunn. 10 guest appearances on The Wild Wild West. He also guest starred on Bonanza as George Marshall. His character was mild mannered opposite as Dr. Loveless.
Michael Dunn also appeared on an episode of Star Trek, the original series. The name of the episode was Plato's Stepchildren.
The WWW episodes with Dr. Loveless were always the best! He was their version of Blofeld from the James Bond films
He was also highly intelligent with an IQ of 178. an amazing young man.
Bobby Darin, such an amazing talent. Died way too young.
Allan Sherman also voiced The Cat in the Hat from the 1971 TV special 2 years before his untimely passing.
Allan Sherman actually reprised his voice role as the Cat in the Hat in the Dr. Seuss on the Loose T. V. Special which aired just five weeks before he passed away.

For trivia fans, the man to Norma Crane's right is Chaim Topol, who recently passed away back in March of 2023.
……very privileged to have his autograph, when he was here for stage musical, ‘ Fiddler on the Roof’………
R.I.P. Bruce Lee.
My only one of my idol
Wow! So many of these folks died a lot younger back then, than they are in this day & age. I guess it's due to better health care. May they all rest in peace. Lovely tribute music.🕊💐🪽🌙
It's amazing, to me, all of the people who died young of lung cancer and various circulatory complications that likely arose from smoking.
We have many medicines today that didn't exist back then.
R.I.P. Lon Chaney Jr.
Glenn Strange also played Sam the bartender on Gunsmoke for many years.
@mr.classicalmusic5607 - Glenn and Amanda Blake (Ms. Kitty) were very good friends. It BROKE HER HEART WHEN HE PASSED!!!!
Jim Croce was one of the singer-songwriters that had the relaxed songs that was fun to listen too. It is sad he passed away quite early.
I know, he was just getting started and I’m convinced his career would’ve gone exactly the same way as Jimmy Buffet’s, they had roughly the same styles
I was just getting ready for school the next morning when I heard this on the radio. And this happened on the same night as the Billie Jean King-Bobby Riggs tennis match. And Jim Croce would have been 81 this year (2024). But his music still lives on. May he rest in peace. Amen.
We must not forget Allen "Rocky" Lane Knox Indiana native and voice of Mister Ed! That colorful series has been a favorite of mine since childhood!
2 of The Byrds died that year (Gram Parsons and Clarence White).
TY for these tributes. They were all great artists. May they RIP. God Bless You & stay safe.
Betty Grable was so pretty!
Apparently, she was something even better, too. Very, very kind. She was renowned for her lack of jealousy of younger actresses, & totally uncompetitive. She helped many of the new girls to succeed, including Marilyn Monroe, who took over her spot as the resident blonde bombshell at Twentieth Century Fox.

Jim Croche died in 1976.
@@vivianleclair8045Jim Croce's death information is correct. He passed away on September 20, 1973.

The accident occurred shortly after 2 a.m., while he and his brother Roland were loading equipment into their car in Palmdale, California, following a White Brothers concert.” That’s more accurate that having people assume he got hit while he was driving.
Many are familiar faces to this old guy. Hard to believe that their passing was over 50 years ago. Time sure flies.
Very interesting year. Also, race car driver Swede Savage died from ill-fated '73 Indy 500 injuries on 07/03 b. 1946
Honorable Mention to Mary Kornman, who was one of the founding cast members of the Our Gang film comedies. She passed away from cancer on June, 1 1973
Who did she play?
Well, who was the character?
Most of the Our Gang cast, Mary included, did not use on screen character names. Their own names were used.
Glenn Strange also was Sam the bartender in Gunsmoke.

I’m always surprised at how young so many people who pass away are. I feel ancient (and blessed) at 61.😮
Amen brother. A day above ground is a beautiful day.
Wally Cox was also a regular on "The Hollywood Squares". He occupied the left top square.
And his co-star, hat
After he passed away, there was a strange occurrence on the set during the next set of tapings. The lighting of the square on the outside and inside of the upper left corner started flickering on and off for no apparent reason.
Do not fear, Underdog is here!!
Wally Cox and Marlon Brando were best friends.
Jo Anne Worley would say she's one of many women who was under Paul lynde
Glenn Strange, GUNSMOKE...😒
Fun fact about Allan Sherman not mentioned was that he originated the voice of the Cat in the Hat.
They also left out Diana Sands; the black actress who was in A Raisin in the Sun with Sidney Poitier.

Missed Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize in literature in ‘71😢
We lost the wolfman
It seems like life expectancy is almost doubled in 50 years
Irene Ryan and John Banner died so soon after their iconic TV shows ended.

John Banner died on his 63rd birthday.

...nicely done with dignity and compassion...thank you...
As per the Personal Dedication to Irving Rosenthal at the end, I didn't realize Palisades Amusement Park was closed by 1971. I can still hear the advertising jingle inviting people to "come on over."
You might want to check out my book, "Palisades Amusement Park: A Century of Fond Memories." Lots of interesting facts about the park.
Bruce Lee was a gifted spiritual and philosophical genius ahead of his time.
Martial artist, yes. Philosophical and spiritual genius? Hardly. Fortune cookie level of sayings don't make for philosophy or spirituality. And aside from his martial arts, he couldn't act worth a crap. His English was limited. He was basically a one trick pony.
Also the great character actor J. Carroll Naish, January 24.
Bruce lee RIP
Rip to everyone very sad!😢💔 And for the person that was running his mouth Death is very sad in 1973 or anytime!
Love it as usual!!!
Thank you.
So, you show Michael Dunn from his role as Alexander in Star Trek's "Plato's Stepchildren" but you don't list that among his credits?
Here ya go. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Dunn_(actor)
Betty Grable had her legs insured by Lloyd's of London, for $1,000,000.
So many great stars passed that year. Loved John Banner on Hogan's Heroes.
Wow, it's hard to believe Wally Cox died of a heart attack. The man was SO thin. He was funny in everything I saw him in, but his role as a pickpocket on Car 54 Where Are You was hilarious!
Lots of people back then died before reaching their 70s, sometimes before even reading their 60s.
I know it's hard to compilate everybody,but I have loved Lex Barker always. He died the 11 May 1973. Was the greatest Tarzan of them all. Rip.
Roger Williamson who perished in a fiery crash at the Dutch Grand Prix. Francois Cevert who was lost during practice for the United States Grand Prix.
Francois Cevert forever in ours Hearts ❤🏎️
I'm from Bergen County NJ (Norwood) but haven't been there since the early 1980s.
A very bad miss was Frank Leahy, coach of Notre Dame from 1941-1953. Winner of 4 national titles in a 7 year span, coached 4 Heisman Trophy winners and recruited a 5th, and still holds the 2nd highest winning percentage in college football only behind his former coach, Knute Rockne.
Is it me or did everyone pass away at such an early age in the 70's?
There were quite a few that died young in 1950s and 1960s as well for actors including Humphrey Bogart in 1957 at age 57, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland etc all died in 1960s.
En el año en que nací hace 51 años en un día como hoy.
I turned 17 in May. Joined the Marines in September. Graduated boot camp in December.
No mention of Francois Cevert +6 oct 1973 ❤😢🏎️❤
And here's a 1965 death of note: Earl "Curly" Lambeau 32 years Green Bay Packers head coach for who Lambeau Field is named!
Michael Dunn also was on Star Trek the original
Glen Strange was also Sam the bartender in Gunsmoke.
Michael Dunn’s cor pulmonale is a fancy name for pulmonary heart disease. Dunn is in Wikipedia as well as what cor pulmonale is in more detail.
Al Sherman was also the voice of"The Cat In The Hat"for two animated tv specials.
A bit surprised no short musical clip was included when Jim Croce's name came up...
RIP President Johnson. Even though I was only 9 years old, I remember the evening when Walter Cronkite announced his death on the evening news because my Dad turned up the volume on the TV to listen.
John Banner was a great actor!
I somehow think Glenn Strange would be better known by the Public for Gunsmoke than for anything else, he was in 247 episodes of a very popular TV show
on Jan 22 1973 I heard Johnson died ... All I could think about at the time was his Vietnam failure ...
and having mixed emotions about his death .. As of this date I don't care one way or another about him .
Strange was on gusmoke too

Sorry but the only person that might have missed LBJ was Mac Wallace, and he offed himself (alledgedly) in 1971.
