James Whitmore - film legend ... I loved his librarian character in "Shawshank", "Tora, Tora, Tora", "Give 'Em Hell, Harry" and "Them" (giant ants) -He could play it all ... David Carradine ... Caine or Kill Bill? He played all sides of the spectrum ....
Ricardo Montalban ... In my mind I can still hear him say "fine Corithan leather" (for Chrysler Cordoba cars) - he was elegant ... Bea Arthur (center back) ... a true "Golden Girl" ... who else could have put Archie Bunker in his place with just a look the way she did?
... Billy Mays...the pitchman for everything! If you were to judge solely by the amount of time a person appeared on TV - Billy would have been on top! Never bought the products -- but I sure did like watching his pitches! .... 
...second banana? Not hardly! Ed McMahon ... didn't know until after he died that he had been a Marine fighter pilot in Korea ...... Farrah Fawcett ... suspect there were few young males who did not have her red suit poster on a wall ...
... and Michael Jackson - he broke a lot of ground, musically, dance, music videos ... you may not have liked his style ... but you had to admit he was one of a kind ...
