John Wayne
Get your tissues ready, this one is going to be a tear jerker. John Wayne was one of Hollywood’s greatest – a generational actor who defined an era. When Wayne was on his deathbed his last words were directed to his wife who had asked him if he recognized her, “Of course I know who you are. You’re my girl. I love you.”
Amy Winehouse
This English singer and songwriter is missed by many. Her eccentric mix of genres and her deep expressive contralto vocals are what made her stand apart from other artists. At just age 27, Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning. Two hours before she was found dead in her home, she said over the phone to her GP, “I don’t want to die.” Such a tragedy.
