In Memoriam, 2017: Part 1 (A-B)

By: Selina


For the next few Sundays, we’ll be paying our respects to the many people that passed away in the entertainment industry during 2017.

I want to stress that not everyone is going to be listed, though we try to include as many people as possible.

If someone isn’t included, that doesn’t mean we don’t think they were important, it just means they didn’t fit the guidelines we use for this blog. Their lives, careers, and memories are still very much a part of this world and they should be remembered. However, if we listed every single person that we found a name for, we wouldn’t have the time or energy to post anything but memorials.

Anyone we listed has been active in the entertainment industry. They have active IMDb pages that offer them 20 or more credits outside of the ‘self’ category. There are some people that we added as exceptions, but most of the people listed follow those guidelines.

This is not a countdown, commentary, or review of the people listed. We feel that would be disrespectful to their memories. This is merely a way for you to take a look back at the people we lost last year and get to know their careers a little better.

This year, we limited the number of videos in use to try to make loading the page easier. Let us know if there are still issues.
