They say death has nothing to do with age, sex or location. Still the Grim Reaper decided it was time for some great people to leave this world and he chose Hollywood’s best actors, actresses and musicians.
Let’s see some of the best people that died too early.
1. Rudolph Valentino
In May 1895 Hollywood met Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Piero Filiberto Guglielmi. Later he was about to become the famous Latin Lover, Rudolph Valentino. He was Italian, sexy and an icon of mute movies, such as The Sheik. In August 1926 Valentino collapsed at the Hotel Ambassador in New York City. He had perforated ulcer and has underwent surgery. In August 23 1926 the Latino Lover died. He was 31. Many people mourned his death and felt sorry for him for wasting his life with wives like Natacha Rambova and Jean Acker. (more…)
When I woke up this morning and turned my computer on I was shocked when I read about Brad Renfro’s death.
He was just 25 years old and had a life ahead to prove that he’s a good actor. Unfortunately Miss Death decided it was time for Brad to go meet the Big Boss.
For now the cause of death is unknown but there are records that Brad had some drinks with some friends the night before he died. The thing is that the actor was having some problems with alcohol and was trying to stay sober. In 2006 he served a 10 days in jail penalty for driving while intoxicated and guilty to attempted possession of heroin.
In a statement the president of the Senator Entertainment, Marco Weber said that
“Brad was an exceptionally talented young actor and our time spent with him was thoroughly enjoyable”
Brad Renfro made an exceptional role in “The Client“, a movie that was based on John Grisham’s book and he just finished filming for “The Informers“, a movie based on the novel of Bret Easton Ellis. He stared in this film with actors like Billy Bob Thorton, Winona Ryder and Brandon Routh.
May God rest his soul in peace!
