The sensation is perfectly normal, and looking back on their lives is one of the best ways to cope. The list of celebrities who died on this date includes actors and behind-the-scenes heavyweights. Paul Muni brought the character of Scarface to life, played in over 30 other projects, and earned multiple Academy Awards for his efforts. Frederick O’Neal was an icon of African-American entertainment. The world of film would have lost hits such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood without the writing skills of Truman Capote.
Several political heavyweights also died on this date, including John McCain and Ted Kennedy. They may have never made it to the presidency, but their impact on the laws and politics of the United States can’t be ignored. Aaliyah, the “Princess of R&B,” tragically died in a plane crash on this date. She managed to become a multi-platinum artist before that and is still selling an impressive number of albums today.
This date marks another plane crash that ended a life far too early. Peace advocate and potential child star Samantha Smith died at 13, but not before making impactful efforts to improve America’s relationship with Japan and the former Soviet Union. Going to the moon is one of the most extreme ways to gain fame. Neil Armstrong also died on this date after a life of military service, space travel, teaching, and helping solve mysterious shuttle disasters.
