I remember Paul Walker’s death
R.I.P.
I remember when James Belishi and Selena died.
Hey watchmojo enough already with the lists about the top 10/20 people WHO DIED. Jesus that’s scummy
@@WesleyB-Rook they’re doing this to honor the celebrities. Don’t be a jerk to the channel.
Aaliyah, Chris Farley, Bruce Lee, Paul Walker and other celebrities may be gone, but not forgotten…
and me?
And John ritter...
And Heath Ledger...
@@gator9339 lmao i was gonna add that too afterwards and then was like okay im being too extra now nvm but 100% yesss ❤️
And Steve Irwin.
It’s been over 14 years, and we still miss Heath Ledger a lot…
I definitely agree he was the best
I can't believe it's been 14 years already! time flies. I still remember watching Dark Knight with my friends in the theater.
Yesssss
He was the best Joker and it was reported that even Jack Nicholson agreed. I have all of Ledgers movies. 👍🏾
I still watch a knights tale regularly
One fact you forgot to mention about in the Heath Ledger spot was that after filming was completed without him, Johnny, Colin and Jude came together to donate their wages to Heath's daughter Matilda who was still very young at the time.
But Heath Ledger had just wrapped up The Dark Knight (2008).
I firmly believe that if Brandon Lee hadn’t died, he would have played the Joker, and would have done an amazing job
Amen.
River Phoenix was a remarkable actor it's sad he died so young 😢
I have Stand By Me on VHS.👍🏾
Bruce wasn't actively filming Game of Death when he died, the film had been put on halt because Warner Brothers offered him the role in Enter the Dragon, he had planned on finishing the film but passed away before he could, he passed away even before Enter the Dragon was released.
Rip to these legends
Not all legends
@@alexflowers97 In a way true
I cried like a baby when I heard Heath died. Only saw him in Brokeback Mountain, but that film had such an impact on me.
I was disappointed when I heard that Heath Ledger died. The only movies I watched about Heath Ledger were The Dark Knight (2008) and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009). I really LOVED The Dark Knight so much, because Ledger had just wrapped up that film before filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Ledger could've been 29 years old when The Dark Knight was released in July 2008, and Ledger would've been 30 years old when The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was released in 2009.
"Only The Good Die Young, They're Only Flying Too Close To The Sun, Crying For Nothing, Crying For No One, No One But You." Queen, No One But You, 1997.
Most of them died because of Substance and you think using that makes them Good ??? 😒
Actor John Candy died after suffering a heart attack while filming a movie. He was just 43 years old
Jeez, what a way to go, fell off a horse, smashed his pelvis, sufferered massive internal bleeding, heart quits due to the stress. 😕
Gone but never forgotten...Thanks Watchmojo.
I was devastated when I heard Robin Williams, Paul Walker, Alan Rickman and Chadwick Boseman passed away. I was in so much tears
I was in tears when Chadwick died too
Chris Farley, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bruce Lee, Paul Walker, and Steve Irwin are the ones I remember most, though much respect for everyone mentioned here.
I remember I was coming out of school & my parents told me about Aaliyah's death. I couldn't believe it, she was & still is my favorite singer. I couldn't believe it. So young & talented. ❤️❤️❤️
Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P.
Paul Walker’s death was so awful I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a hoax but I logged online (TMZ) and it was confirmed.
TH-cam confirmed it for me.. A TH-camr post the burning vehicle.. This is before TH-cam got real strict on showing violent material..
its what he gets for drink driving should of known better
@@Exalted_Wolfe he wasn’t driving
RIP Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee. Tragic father-son pair 💐🪦
My heart fell to pices when Paul Walker passed away
Agreed
According to the coroner's report from Hong Kong, he was declared dead from "misadventure." He was given Duragesic as a pain pill to treat a back injury after doing "Good Mornings" with WAY too much weight. Lee ended up being allergic to Meprobamate (an element in Duragesic,) and died from a cerebral edema. Truly sad, as he was at the apex of his career and his Jeet Kun Do, his own version of martial arts. RIP.
RIP John Candy. Comedy of my youth
I’m glad you mentioned Tommy Cooper, my dad says he remembers watching the performance and assuming it was part of the show, but Tommy was a proud Welsh man, not an Englishman ❤️
Luke Perry Riverdale I Practically Idolized Him In Beverly Hills 90210 alongside Jason Priestley now a world without him is depressing I know how Jack "Jungle Boy" Perry feels as I too lost my father in 2019 Heart Failure
RIP to your father. I’m sure he was a great man.
People can learn alot from this, but the most known topics addressed were "substance abuse, heart attacks, and struggles with weight". Yes, accidents on sets as well as in life itself can and will happen, but things like alcohol and drug abuse that can impact a person's life even more can be greatly avoided. Its a shame when good people like these and many others pass on this way. Thanks for the video.
May All of the Beloved Actors and Actresses Throughout the Years R.I.P. They May Be Gone, but They Shall Never Be Forgotten. God Bless All of Their Souls. 🤲🛐📿🙏✝️⛪😇👼
I know ones of Heath Ledger, Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee, River Phoenix, Marilyn Monroe, Chris Farley, Aaliyah, James Dean, Vic Morrow, Tommy Cooper, Oliver Reed Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Walker and John Candy.
I’m surprised they didn’t mention Cory Monteith. His affected so many, and was so heartbreaking
Did he die while actively filming an episode or season of Glee, or did he die in between seasons when they were not filming? Because that could be why he is mentioned.
It's quite tragic what happened to james dean 😢😭
Yeah. Poor guy. RIP.
The Deaths of Paul Walker and Steve Irwin were the ones that litereally got me the Most
Paul cause of how he Portrayed O'Brian in the Fast Movies and the fact that he was an amazing Person and Father outside of Filming
And Steve cause of how Geniune he was in his Craft of being an Upstanding person and Absolutely Loved his work as the Crocodile Hunter
I also appreciated that Paul Walker was honest about his acting career. He knew he wasn't the best, but he used his platform and money to support he causes he was passionate about.
So sad about deaths to all who died while filming. I will never forget them, because they are legends, I wish that I met them before.😭😭😭😭😭
RIP, they will be missed.
I still miss Paul.
RIP River Phonix
Hate to hear this may they all rest in peace
🎥 Heather O'Rourke - "Poltergeist III" (1988)
She died after filming a movie. She got violently ill at home, was rushed to hospital, and died on the operating table of ruptured intestines and septic shock.
So many things I did not know, thank you.
0:12 Didn't he die from Speedball overdose? I think clogged arteries were also a factor. I heard about Chris Farley's death from my friend even though he died several years ago by that point. I'm not sure why they didn't get someone else to finish Chris Farley's lines in Shrek. Mike Myers did do a better job though. Paul Walker died in a car crash? How ironic. He died as he lived. 18:17 You couldn't ask for a better movie to end your career on. He also died as he lived. 21:26 Good thing this was a fantasy movie or this movie may have been canceled.
So you include 50s legends James Dean and Monroe but not Jean Harlow or Rudolph Valentino??? Their deaths shocked the whole planet in the 20s and 30s and created a media firestorm bigger then any of the ones listed. I went to Harlow’s funeral and their was people from all over the world loosing their minds over the tragedy.
I can understand that (RIP), but did they die while filming something? Because this list is specifically for those who died while filming something.
The death of Michael Jackson and prince bad also. There weren't filming anything yet they were performing. Rest in peace to these legends.
Thanks @watchmojo for another reminder 👍🏽
These list always get me r.i.p to them all
Can't believe Heather O'Rourke wasn't here. She passed during poltergeist 3
She died AFTER filming the last Poltergeist movie. She got violently ill due to a combination of an intestinal infection and an undiagnosed intestinal birth defect that caused a bowel obstruction, her swollen and twisted intestines then ruptured, and she was rushed to surgery and died on the operating table. That was a horrible and violent death, but completely due to nature instead of man made causes.
I miss Paul walker, river phoenix and heath ledger ❤️❤️
Me too. Three of my favorite actors. RIP.
Oh how many of these deaths I remember especially Philip Seymour Hoffman
Not sure if it counts since he wasn’t on the card, but he was supposedly meant to be at the show, but Brian Pillman is another wrestler who tragically died from drug overdose during Bad Blood 97. At the time to, he was in a prominent role as being apart of The Hart Foundation.
The fact that 3 of the members died in a time frame of 5 years is just so screwed up.
James Dean Is The Greatest Actor Of All Time. RIP James ”Jimmy” Dean.
These names I knew very well but the one I loved the most was Steve Irwin, I was only 5 years old when he passed away, the first time I ever saw him was on an episode of The Crocodile Hunter, then later on an episode of The Wiggles and I was so inspired by him and his love for wild animals no matter how dangerous or snappy they were and I would laugh every time he tackled and fought with them until they listened. When I heard about his death from my mother and father both, I was probably crying for at least 2 days. I never had any hate towards any the film crew who were with him that day, he clearly messed with an animal that he probably shouldn’t have messed with. It warmed my heart hearing his 2 kids, Robert and Bindi both decided to keep their fathers legacy alive and are working with wild animals themselves. May all these beloved souls be with God and RIP ❤️🙏🕊
Aayliah was the best thing about "Queen of the Damned", in my opinion!
John Ritter was also the voice of Clifford in “Clifford the Big Red Dog” That was never mentioned when listing him
I would add Sergei Bodrov, Jr., a wonderful young actor who starred in 3 of Russia's greatest films in his short lifetime. He is adored by all who see him in "Prisoner of the Mountains" and "Brat/Brother."
Paul Walker didn’t die, he is traveling in the untraveled roads
Imagine how it would have been with chris farley as shrek, 25 years may have passed but he will never be forgotten.
As an Australian Steve Irwin is the death I remember most vividly
What about:
.Chadwick Boseman
.Alex Trebek
.Judith Barsi
.Jerry Nelson
.Chris Cornell
.Tim Russett
They didn't die on set
R.I.P. to James Dean, an icon taken too soon.
R.I.P. to Chris Farley. (I had no idea he was the OG Shrek, & I had no idea he had a guest appearance on All That.)
11:23 R.I.P. I completely forgot about him. (Hunger Games whistle).
R.I.P. to Marilyn Monroe (an icon).
R.I.P. to Bruce Lee (legendary actor and martial artist)! R.I.P. to his son Brandon Lee, as well! He was a great actor!
R.I.P. to Paul Walk (a well-known actor).
R.I.P. to Steve Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter).
R.I.P. to Heath Ledger (renowned actor, including one of the best Joker portrayals ever.
Marilyn Monroe didn’t die while filming a movie. She died at home of an overdose.
Ah Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime.
Sometimes I do wish it still continued.
you caught me by surprise adding Owen Hart to this list, thank you
we was an amazing man and athlete
I started watching Steve Irwin back in 1998 I was 8 years old until I was 15 years old back in 2006
Top Ten Funniest Celebrities with Sad Backstories
Probably the most tragic case is of Brazilian actress Daniella Perez who was murdered by her own co-worker
and on-screen parter Guilherme de Pádua (and oddly enough it seems he was accidentally cast for the show,
apparently his role was meant for other actor) and his wife Paula Thomaz (who was four months pregnant at the
time) during the filming of the soap opera "De Corpo e Alma" (In Body and Soul). Apparently Pádua was
growing worried that his character's role in the show was diminishing, and for some time he tried to convince
Daniella to talk to her mother Glória (who was the writer of the show) into giving him a more prominent role,
but it seems nothing come from that and the week prior to the murder he found out that his character only was going to
be featured in 3 of the 5 of that week's episodes, and this seems to be what made Pádua come to the decision of
getting rid of Daniella, as he believed she talked negatively about him to her mother. And so, on December 28th,
1992 Pádua would leave filming early and went back to his apartment to pick up his wife, who he was able to
easily convince her to join him in the act by claiming that Daniella was hitting on him (after all Paula Thomaz
was known for being the jealous type and by having altercations with other women in the past), a blanket and
pillow so she could hide in the car and he returned to the studio where he filmed the remaining scenes he had
that night. Then, when filming warped and everyone was going back home, Pádua would chase Daniella and
eventually ambushed her in a near by gas station, as she needed to refuel her car, he quickly blocked her car and
as they left their respective vehicles he immediately punched her in the face leaving her dazed and quickly put
her in his car, now with Paula behind the wheel, while Pádua took Daniella's car. From there they took her to a
nearby wasteland here she would be stabbed 18 times in between her neck, lungs and heart, she was only 22.
The whole country was in shock once news broke out.
During the trials that followed Pádua,s and Thomaz's marriage came to and end when he tried to shift the blame
to his wife, in the end both would be sentenced to 19 years in jail, however they would end up only serving 6 years
and got released in 1999, this of course caused indignation among the people as everyone were angry about them
being released so early and eventually things would lead to change in the law and heavier sentences would start
to be given to this type of cases.
The show would suffer changes because of what happened: With Glória Perez no longer in condition to continue
on as the writer, she would end up replaced with 3 new writers; Daniella's character was written off by having
her go study overseas and the final moments of the last episode would be dedicated to Daniella; Pádua's character
would end up completely erased off the the remaining of the show, which also included the deletion of his
scenes in episodes tapped before the murder and that were yet to be broadcast.
Eventually Glória Perez would ask TV Globo to never reprise this soap opera.
I remember when I got home after watching Thor: Dark World in theaters, my brother told me about the passing of Paul Walker, Later on I went back to the same theater catching Furious 7 to pay homage. The whole audience cried like I wouldn't believe.😢
Furious 7 was the only film of the franchise that I watched in theaters, and I thought it was a sweet send-off.
@reikun86 Agreed. RIP Paul Walker.
Redd Foxx died while filming the Royal Family
I remember John Ritter going cause I was friends with Billy Aaron Brown on the show. We talked about it right when it happened
Aaliyah died while filming the Matrix or while filming her Rock the Boat video? This is the first time I've ever heard that it was during the matrix filming
*We offer everyone a profound look into these sorrowful moments, sharing the pain and hoping that time will ease the grief.*
I've seen an episode of Final 24 talking about the final 24 hours of River Phoenix's life.
RIP to all that left it out on that stage 🎥
I missed Steve Irwin. I love watching The Crocodile Hunter when I was a kid. Rest In Peace mate.
Your video provides both a visual and emotional odyssey, immersing us in the enchantment of 1960s Hollywood while shedding light on the compelling and inspiring journeys of its stars in the modern world. *DO YOU AGREE WITH ME*
I think we all felt like we knew some of them.... it's like losing an actual loved one.
Yeah. Agreed. RIP to all of them.
RIP To Them All 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I remember washing dishes watching the news when I heard about heath ledger. I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and 2 weeks from my house burning down. Such a sad time. Gone way too soon he was an amazing actor just getting into awesome roles. Wonder where he would be now. How movies would've been different with him as the lead??😢😢😢😢
Heartbreaking 💔
Very sad!
13:40 “You’ll lose this battle like your bout with barbiturates.” Cleopatra
I miss Paul Walker. Taken way too soon.
My eyes widen when Robert Wagner was mentioned. He used to play a reoccurring character in a show I like
What show if you don’t mind me asking?
I still wonder what James Dean could’ve achieved if life turned out differently
I wonder that too
Damn… I don’t want to die soon but you never know. Rest Easy Thespians
120: I see Paul Walker, I clicked
I don’t know how many of these actually count, since most of them are mere voice actors:
1. Joe Ranft, who voiced Red in Pixar’s Cars, died in a car crash on August 16, 2005, about 10 months before the film released
2. George Carlin, who voiced Fillmore on Cars, died on June 22, 2008, 3 years before the release of Cars 2, and was replaced by Lloyd Sherr, although I don’t know if the movie had even entered production when he died
3. Last one for Cars, Paul Newman as Doc Hudson also died in 2008, although unlike the previous two, he wasn’t recast
4. Don Rickles, who voiced Mr Potato Head in Toy Story, died in 2017 during production of Toy Story 4, although I’m pretty sure the voice work hadn’t started yet
Now one that most likely does count is Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movies, died shortly before the release of the second movie. The role of Dumbledore was then played by Michael Gambon thereafter
Yall really had to put John Ritter first huh? 😭😭 That one really got me in the childhood. Clifford, Problem Child, & 8 Simple Rules all played roles in that time in my life. ❤️💔
It baffles me how I'm now a similar age to or even older than some of these actors... taken too soon...
19:18 Steve Irwin (1962-2006) is the person I'm a very huge fan of!

The Legends Never Die
Talk about some of the most tragic deaths
Disgusting that no one was held responsible for their recklessness that caused the death of Morrow and those kids. Details on the case are shocking and John Landis' reaction and attitude about it is beyond vile.
I was a kid or teen when most of these celebs died
8 pints and 12 shots? Lightweight. In Ireland we call that breakfast
I’m pretty sure Oliver Reed was intoxicated more than he was sober
May they all rest in peace.
Rip to you all
Gone but not forgotten
I still wonder what Shrek would have been like had Chris Farley finished it. I’ve heard the clips on TH-cam but to see the complete movie would’ve been something different
Agreed. What a funny guy. Lost too son. RIP.
I remember Paul Walker in the movie Eight below back in 2006
Paul walker we still pray for u
I've seen the Vic Morrow video in full. Helicopter blade lopped Morrow and that boy's head clean off, and the girl was crushed.
That director deserved DECADES in prison.
Bothers me that you described the injuries suffered by Vic Morrow and the little boy... That was unnecessary, Brian...
I lived close to location where it happened... Thought about the tragedy every time I drove past the area...😢
@@corinnepmorrison1854 I apologize.
@@briantaylor9285 Thank you, Brian...❤️

Mitr Chaibancha literally died before the director could even say "cut!"😢
Watchmojo is confused about the term 'while filming'
