Dame Angela LANSBURY DBE (1925)
UK/IE Actress and Singer
​

As a 15 year old she moved from London to California to escape the Blitz, and two years later she was in her first movie (Gaslight) and had her first of 3 Oscar nominations. She followed that up with A Picture of Dorian Gray in 1945, and had another nomination. Her career slowed in the 1950s, but she came back with The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and another supporting actress nomination. In the mid-1960s she turned her attention to Broadway and became a star in New York with Mame. In the 1980s she moved to television where millions knew her as Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote. She enchanted a new generation in animated films, including playing Mrs. Potts in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. She had one of the longerst careers in the entertainment industry - spanning eight decades.

I have an interview posted here, along with what I think was her final performance back in 2018.

Aaron CARTER (1987)
US Actor, Singer
​

There is something particularly sad when someone who scored incredible success as a child ends up struggling as an adult with their own demons. Judy Garland and Corey Haim come to mind. I also can't help wondering if the attention we lavished on them so early wasn't a burden that ended up making the problems they faced even worse - did we in some part contribute to their downfall? Rest in peace, Aaron.

Sad, but not surprising. His parents were leeches and his family life was chaotic at best. The people he surrounded himself abused him further.

I am astonished he made it to 34. We’ve been watching him kill himself slowly for many, many years. I hope his spirit is at peace now.
