Celebrity Culture and Death

Celebrity Deaths

Have you seen the rumors flying around about the latest celebrity death? Only to find that it was a hoax?

There are plenty of ways to find out if they're true. Obviously waiting around for confirmation is one way. Looking up Wikipedia is another but it is cumbersome riffling through tons of information to get what you are after.. IMDB seems to jump the gun on death notices and has a few false-positives.

I've stumbled upon Living or Dead which seems to be a reliable and easy to use site. It even has a page devoted to Recent Celebrity Deaths so you can keep up-to-date with it all.

The font page also has heaps of interesting information that links off into all different places.

Movies and TV Show Cast Deaths

TV and Movie Cast Deaths

I mentioned Living or Dead the other day. I found out recently that you can find out which cast members of a film or TV Show are living or dead.

I love Game of Thrones so it was interesting to see which cast members of Game of Thrones are living or dead. Trying to get that information from Wikipedia would take hours.

Movies are also on the site so I checked out which cast members of The Big Lebowski have died and then I was down the rabbit hole linking out to other movies and shows.
