Stars rise\u2026 and fall. The best thing a star can wish for is to leave this world without actually falling \u2013 still at the height of their fame. But some leave too early or unexpectedly, in tragic circumstances or with undeserved suffering. Some of the celebrities we remember here have made a controversial reputation, some have gained genuine admiration, but one thing is for sure: they have created something they are worth remembering for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no living person on Earth who doesn\u2019t know Michael Jackson and the story of his troubled life. Besides his invaluable contributions to music, the King of Pop was mostly famous for his excessive use of plastic surgery that led to his dramatic transformation. As he gradually became paler, he got accused of bleaching his skin, but he claimed to suffer from vitiligo that causes his skin losing pigment. His music career was literally on top, but after false sexual abuse allegations, his personal life got in the spotlight. Even his death stirred the news and the internet causing websites to crash due to user overload. In 2009, Jackson became the best-selling albums artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
It seems it\u2019s always the bad boy roles that bring the long desired fame. During his short career, Ledger successfully went from pretty boy (10 Things I Hate About You<\/em>) to supervillain (The Dark Knight<\/em>) for which role he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Too bad he couldn\u2019t be there to receive the prize. The intense work affected his health, he had issues sleeping as his body was exhausted still his mind couldn\u2019t rest. He had some pills prescribed and this brought an abrupt end to his life. He only lived 29 years, but his legacy will be long remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The always smiling, always cheerful and always funny Robin Williams gave us lots of happy moments but he himself may not have had such a carefree life it seemed. He used to be a shy little boy until he started to explore and exploit his sense of humor in high school. He began his career as a stand-up comedian, but the television sitcom Mork & Mindy made him a superstar. Still, he\u2019s best known for his film appearances such as in Good Morning, Vietnam; Dead Poets\u2019 Society; Good Will Hunting; The Bicentennial Man<\/em>; and many-many comedies. Williams had alcohol and drug addiction problems, also suffered from depression and was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease. He ended his own life by hanging himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
A true sex symbol of his era; women fell for him the first moment he appeared on screen. So you better know his name when it comes to what a woman likes. He was even chosen \u2018The Sexiest Man Alive\u2019 by People magazine in 1991. But here are some more remarkable achievements of his: North and South<\/em> a historical TV series of the friendship between a southern and a northern man during the American Civil War; Ghost<\/em>, the ultimate love story between a woman and a man\u2019s soul; Dirty Dancing<\/em>, where Swayze could show off his history as a dancer. In 2008 he was diagnosed with cancer and after 20 months of struggle he died at the age of 57.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Walker loved cars and racing, he described himself as a total gearhead, and yet this is what caused his tragic death. On 30 November 2013 Roger Rodas and Walker were driving at a speed of 100 miles per hour in a 45 mph speed zone and crashed into a concrete lamppost. They both died immediately. But\u2026 at least he was doing what he loved most; the Fast and Furious<\/em> series brought him the real breakthrough in his acting career and at the same time he could make good use of his auto racing skills. Who wouldn\u2019t want their hobby and job to be the same? The song See You Again<\/em> by Wiz Khalifa is a tribute to Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The movie Amy<\/em> is already in theaters, the film that shows her talent, her career, and her ups and downs. Her lifestyle divided the public because of her drug and alcohol problems, but her artistry was widely considered ingenious. Her unique voice and her special blend of genres brought her spectacular success, but on the other plate of the scale she struggled coping with the pressure and stress, which led to depression, violent behavior and weight loss. On 23 July 2011 Amy Winehouse was found dead in her bed, the cause being accidental alcohol poisoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
What is the first thing that occurs to you about Larry Hagman? Dallas? Damn right! He will always be our good old J. R. Ewing from the wealthy Texan oil company owning family. In the show, J. R. is a greedy and ruthless oil baron who is more than willing to play dirty. However, in real life Hagman was quite a philanthropist. He was committed to raising awareness of the concept of organ donation and the dangers of smoking. Larry Hagman died at the age of 81 from complications of throat cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A beautiful woman, a beautiful voice, a rising career\u2026 ending too soon. She started singing in the choir at the church, and her talent was obvious. She debuted in 1985 with her self-titled album, which immediately became the best-selling debut album by a woman. Well, anything she did basically became best-selling. She received tons of awards; her career was like a dream until\u2026 around the 2000\u2019s her behavior changed. She became disorganized, distracted and unreliable, and because of this many of her performances got cancelled. In 2009 in the Oprah Show she admitted that doing drugs had been an everyday thing and she had been losing herself back then. Unfortunately her comeback wasn\u2019t successful and in February 2012 she was found submerged in the bathtub. Her fame suffocated her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He started as a romantic, dramatic actor, but Nielsen soon realized what suited him best was comedy. Airplane!<\/em> and The Naked Gun<\/em> series are real proof of that. Besides movies, he played in an educational TV show for Discovery Channel, and also produced instructional golf videos as he was a passionate golf player. But humor never left his side even in his death: Nielsen chose \u201cLet \u2018er rip\u201d as his epitaph referring to his favorite joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A true icon! The true bad boy! A role model for boys, an idol for girls. He is widely considered the greatest screen actor of the 20th<\/sup> century. He was Mark Antony and Napoleon, Don Vito Corleone and Jor-El on screen, but he also played on stage, for example in the theater version of the Streetcar Named Desire<\/em>. Marlon Brando enjoyed his life to the fullest. He had several wives, even more girlfriends and is the father to sixteen known children. But the hedonist lifestyle has a price; Brando suffered from diabetes and by 1990\u2019s his weight reached 300 lbs. His weakened immune system couldn\u2019t cope with pneumonia, and he died of respiratory failure at the age of 80.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
