Edward Kennedy
 Senator Edward Moore or ‘Ted' Kennedy was one of the Democratic Party's most powerful members. A man of great faith and character, Kennedy was perhaps the most famous US politician who was never President of America. The best way to remember Senator Kennedy lies in his own frequently repeated and inspirational words, "For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." By the time he died, Kennedy had become a major figure and spokesman of America's progressive culture.

David Shepherd
 David Shepherd was an umpire par excellence. The good-humoured Englishman was known for his superstitions - most notably his little hop when scores reached 111 or a multiple thereof, popularly called Nelson. He was a favourite with the players and was respected the world over. Shepherd umpired three successive World Cup finals (1996, 1999 and 2003) and six tournaments overall, and will be fondly remembered for his professionalism and good-humoured approach to the game. Only Steve Bucknor and Rudi Koertzen have stood in more Tests than Shepherd.

Patrick Swayze
 Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," personified a particular kind of masculine grace both on and off screen. Swayze was diagnosed with cancer in January 2008. Six months later he had already outlived his prognosis and was filmed at an airport, smiling at photographers and calling himself, only half-facetiously, "a miracle dude." His sudden demise shocked Hollywood and fans alike and touching tributes poured in from his co stars and other celebrities. Last edited by bholus10; 12-23-2009 at 08:32 AM.

Feroz Khan
 The inimitable Feroz Khan passed away in April this year. Despite his age and year-long battle with cancer, Khan remained a style icon. Unable to join the big league of actors in Bollywood in his time, he was largely restricted to small-budget action films. Real recognition came to Khan when he began his own production house. He delivered hits such as 'Qurbani' and 'Dharmatma'. 'Qurbani' was such a big hit that it was remade in Tamil with Rajnikanth. With the death of Feroz Khan, Bollywood lost a flamboyant filmmaker.

Farrah Fawcett
 Farrah Fawcett, the Charlie's Angels star who emerged as the most potent *** symbol of the '70s, lost her battle against cancer at the age of 62. Fit, tanned, blonde and smiling, Fawcett defined her California ‘golden girl' image most famously in a legendary red swimsuit poster that sold millions of copies. After Fawcett left Angels, she made futuristic sci-fi films ‘Logan's Run' and ‘Saturn 3'. She shifted gears in 1984 with a critically acclaimed domestic abuse television movie ‘The Burning Bed'. Earlier this decade, Fawcett redefined herself yet again with a series of whacky appearances on late-night talk shows.
