Over the last couple of years, I've basically stopped doing tribute posts when a celebrity or noted public person passes on. There sadly seem to be prominent deaths almost every week, and they're covered almost every site, not to mention countless posts on social media. Secondly, I want FH to be an escape, a brief refuge from reality. It could be a quarter to half of the posts if I posted every time a celebrity died.
I do however, want to pay tribute to those who had an impact on my life. Some, from when I just a boy, some, whose work I discovered when I was older. Public figures and celebrities whose work touched me in some way, and played a role in my passion for the performing arts. Usually I do this piece at year's end, but when weather impacted my holiday travel plans, I got behind on my Year End's posts, so am posting three year end posts this week.
A few celebrities I posted upon shortly after their death. I did do a tribute post to actor Donald Sutherland back in June, (HERE:) and a post on his first, most notable on-screen nudity. (HERE:)
Others like French actor and producer, Alain Delon I'd only recently posted about earlier in the year, just months before their death. Some others, like Liam Payne, I'd done Favorites features in the past.
There were others however, I wanted to pay tribute to. You may notice some renowned names not on the list, that was intentional. I did not list everyone famous person who passed, but those whose worked I loved and admired, and some that I'd previously featured on the site. Check out my tribute to those we lost in 2024 HERE:
