Well, folks, Three celebrities just died this year (I'm sure you know more):
Ed McMahnon - Johnny Carson's sidekick and spokesman for Publishers Clearing house, 86.
Farrah Fawcett - The Original Charlie's Angel (the blonde one whom Drew Barrymore portrayed in the remake), cancer, age 62.
and finally, Michael Jackson of the Jackson Five and Neverland Ranch fame, age 50. My friend made a joke about little boys collectively breathing a sigh of relief upon hearing Michael Jackson dying.
some female jazz singer named Koko died too.
