Ed McMahon died last week. He was a great entertainer, but prior to his stage accomplishments he was a distinguished Marine Corps fighter pilot in WWII earning six Air Medals and attaining the rank of Colonel. He was discharged in 1946 and was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the CA Air National Guard.
Farrah Fawcett died last week after a long career in
Hollywood as an actress. After she was diagnosed with cancer, she became an
activist for cancer treatment and devoted her last remaining years encouraging
people to seek treatment. She documented her plight on film and used it to encourage
others to stay positive and upbeat despite their diagnosis and suffering.
Michael Jackson died last week. He was perhaps one of the
greatest singers of modern time. He will also be remembered for his eccentric lifestyle
that included sleeping with a chimpanzee, living in a carnival-like atmosphere
at Neverland, his fascination with Peter Pan, and his numerous masks and
costumes. He also admitted to finding pleasure sleeping with young boys and
paying out millions of dollars in settlements to the families of these boys
despite being acquitted by a court on one allegation of sexual molestation.
