    1. Great choices! They always had great movies. Even their not so great movies are so much better than what we see today (I'm thinking The Winds of War TV mini-series). How I loved those mini-series of the 70s-80s though.

  36. Jeff Buckley...I was fortunate enough to see him live twice and it was beyond thrilling both times but also agree with Freddie Mercury, he would have been amazing to see too. Both taken too young...

  45. Stevie Ray Van, he still had music left in him when he past away!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Leonardo da Vinci. Just because he's been dead longer makes him no less of a celebrity. He was a rock star in his day. I think a mind like his would blaze no matter when he lived.

    Farley Granger, he was such a good guy.

    Really just one of the most amiable and stand up people you could've ever met. A pioneer in the film industry, a consummate actor's actor, and a tremendous champion of classic films in his last few decades. He would attend any screenings he was asked to, do Q & As, meet with fans, share his wisdom with younger generations. And a pretty big and unsung hero in the LGBT world too. As one of the first major "top billing" stars who refused to hide their sexuality. I took his death hard, as a long time fan, grateful student of his film wisdom shared, and acquaintance.

    I was actually about to met him again for a long sit-down interview to help my budding career as a film historian just a few months before he died suddenly. I'll always regret never having had that chance to get to know him better. And I'll always cherish having known such a truly wonderful and inspiring man personally.

    RIP to both Farley and Bob Calhoun, such fantastic gentlemen who are sorely missed!

  90. George Carlin. I still heart him.

  91. Enty - this could be multiple turns. Celebrity, actor, musician, jazz musician, classical musician, politician, artist. So many good answers here.

    Everyone I thought of has already been mentioned except Belushi.

  103. Phil Hartman. I wanted at least 5 more good seasons of Newsradio.

    John Lennon, because is love to see how he would have adapted his politics through the last 30 years.

    Nick Adenhart (baseball player), because his talent was huge and I would love to see him play with Mike Trout (though maybe Trout wouldn't be quite as good if he hadn't gone through that tragedy)
