Famous People Who Died And Barely Anyone Notied

When a celebrity dies, we all feel it, at least a little bit — the media ensures this. But not all celebrities are equal. And while some deaths continue to make headlines every year after the fact, others just seem to slip into obscurity.

But we won’t forget, even if the rest of the world has. These 25 celebrities you forgot died deserve a second remembrance.

James Rebhorn

James Rebhorn was one of those actors that you’d look at and immediately recognize, without having any clue as to what he was in (it was Independence Day). In 1992, Rebhorn was diagnosed with melanoma, which he finally succumbed to in March 2014.

Taylor Negron

With an extensive list of film credits, including Angels in the Outfield, Easy Money, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Taylor Negron was a well-known face in Hollywood. But he was also an accomplished painter with an extensive fine art background.

He died at age 57 in January 2015 of liver cancer.

Charlie Murphy

As the older brother to actor and comedian Eddie, Charlie Murphy achieved a measure of fame for his role on Chappelle’s Show. He was also a well-known voice actor, appearing on The Boondocks and Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

He died from leukemia in April 2017.  

Harold Ramis

Actor, director, and writer Harold Ramis was the man behind many of the great comedies we cherish to this day, including Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, and Groundhog Day. He was also well-known for his 20-year feud with longtime friend Bill Murray.

The two made amends right before Ramis’ death in February 2014 of complications from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis.
