Very sadly,
Natasha Richardson died at the age of 45, from a head injury she sustained in what first appeared to be a minor skiing accident. The wife of Liam Neeson and daughter of Lynn Redgrave became brain dead and was taken off of life support on March 18.

While this was, as most deaths are, tragic, I have to give the man props for still being into something like that at his age. I doubt many women have died from erotic asphyxiation in their 70s.

@brandyalexander: According to Wikipedia, “In some places you can ‘Touch wood’ to counteract the jinx so the jinxer is now jinxed.”
So, touch wood. In my case, that’d be particularly good.

Alaina Reed Hall, who played “Olivia” on Sesame Street also passed away. This death made me particularly sad as Sesame Street and Olivia, were a constant as I moved from military base to military base as a child.

@ladylawyer: Agreed. I miss Olivia.
@brandyalexander: I misinterpreted Wikipedia. Apparently, I was the one who was supposed to touch wood. So, thank you so much for saying “jinx”. I needed that.

google a list of celebs that died in 09’, there were definitely a lot more that died this year.
Walter Cronkite, Ed McMahon, Bea Arthur..
but i think the whole point was to list the more infamous ones.. but still. It was a crazy year for some of the more surprising deaths

I did leave out Ted Kennedy—and he really was infamous. Wow, the Frisky readers are really good for calling me out when I get sloppy. Thanks, @silverspooner. And @VeronicaVaughn, I’m always making mistakes like Keith/Heath—we must be separated at birth. Unfortunately for you, my editor is one of a kind.
