Recently, the world lost director Blake Edwards (of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Fame), actor Leslie Nielsen (of "Airplane!") and "The Golden Girls" star Rue McClanahan.
Acting legend Dennis Hopper was also among the stars who died this year - he passed away in May, at the age of 74, after battling prostate cancer.
The world also said goodbye to two former child stars - Gary Coleman, who was beloved for his role on "Diff'rent Strokes" but suffered from a host of health and legal problems, and Corey Haim, who earned acclaim for his work in "The Lost Boys" but found his career tarnished by drug abuse.
