Famous Deaths

Today in history, many influential people passed away into eternity.

1984 - Andy Kaufman, comedian (Latka-Taxi), dies of cancer at 35

1985 - Margaret Hamilton, actress (Wicked Witch-Wizard of Oz), dies at 82

1990 - Jim Henson, puppeteer (Sesame Street, Muppet Show), dies at 53

1990 - Sammy Davis Jr, singer/actor, dies at 64

May they rest peace.

This is shamelessly stolen from The Catholic Guy on Sirius Radio.

I remember when the Muppets guy died. Does that make me old? Or am I old because I remember the Muppets?

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
