We lost some entertainment giants in 2024.
Among the big-screen legends who died during the 12 months were Donald Sutherland, James Earl Jones, Maggie Smith, Carl Weathers, Shelley Duvall, Dabney Coleman, Anouk Aimée, Louis Gossett Jr., Teri Garr, Marisa Paredes and Gena Rowlands.
The TV world mourns the likes of Bob Newhart, John Amos, Phil Donahue, Linda Lavin, David Soul, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Martin Mull, Shannen Doherty, Michael Cole, Richard Lewis, Richard Simmons, James B. Sikking, Peter Marshall and Joe Flaherty.
Filmmakers and producers who left us include Norman Jewison, Roger Corman, Al Ruddy, Jon Landau, Linda Obst, Jim Abrahams, Charles Shyer, Irv Wilson and Paolo Taviani.
Broadway’s light were a little dimmer with the passing of Chita Rivera, Gavin Creel, Helen Gallagher, Mimi Hines, , Glynis Johns, Ron Simons and Marvin Laird.
The music world is quieter without Quincy Jones, Kris Kristofferson, Dickey Betts, John Mayall, Phil Lesh, Toby Keith, David Sanborn, Steve Lawrence, Sergio Mendes, Wayne Kramer, Tito Jackson, Eric Carmen, Cissy Houston, Steve Albini, Frankie Beverly, JD Souther, Liam Payne, Greg Kihn and Mojo Nixon.
The industry also paid tribute to such top executives as Charles Dolan, Paula Weinstein, Jamie Kellner, Richard Parsons, Gerald Levin and Paul Fox.
