Oh no not Uncle Phil too. He was one of the most beloved fathers in television history. I love and looked up to him in Fresh Prince. He was a likeable character on the television screen. I wish he would have teamed up with Michael Clarke Duncan, another likeable actor on the list who died too soon, in a comedy or drama film. God knows what he is doing when he takes away his angels early. It is interesting how he died on December 31, 2013. I guess it was his New Years to make it into Heaven right before 2014.

Shamefully, the wrestling world lost a HUGE legend in the Ultimate Warrior. He sadly passed away at the age of 54. What is disheartening is that he recently become a WWE HOF while appearing on Raw the following night after WrestleMania 30. While not his biggest fan, I greatly respect what he did for wrestling back in the 80s and 90s. In the wrestling world, he brought the muscles and personality along with Hulk Hogan.

(1951-2014) Oh No. This cannot be happening. Not another great legend, such as the comical genius found in Robin Williams. He was the man who changed movie history through his acting abilities and sense of humor, which is a rarity. He is one of the few comedians to successfully transfer from stand up to dramatic and demanding roles. You do not see a versatlie star as talented as Robin Williams everyday. He was an one of kind actor who could make us laugh and cry, which is why is one of the most beloved actors of his time. He will truly be missed. He was one of my favorite actors ever up there with Robert Deniro, Jack Nicolson, and Al PAcino. Probably my all time favorite Robin Williams movie is Mrs. Doubtfire, which I thought he should have been Oscar nominated or even won the award. There will never be another Robin Williams.

As she inherited her love for the arts by her father, well-known playwright, actor, director and novelist Mario Peña, it is not hard to understand that actress Elizabeth Pena already had designs to become an actress by the time she was eight years old.

Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey on September 23, ...

Elizabeth Pena (1959-2014) was best known for her role in the la bamba, which is a shame because I was thinking about that movie the other day. She was always quite attractive lady who looked like a Latina Kate Winslet. She had several memorable movies throughout her legendary career. I did not see this death come a mile away. Life is too soon, which means we have to embrace each other because we do not know when our time will be up. God Bless this woman soul who is with the angels now.
