    I hate to be "that guy" but... I thought I read about him dying years ago. Either way, such a shame. Louie was always great for a laugh, and I loved him in Coming To America.

      He was one of those dudes who sort of dropped off, and the rumor started circulating. There'll be a lot of people going "Wait... I thought he died already?"

    Lot of celebrity deaths lately. Betty White to kickoff the new year, then Bob Saget, now Meat Loaf and Louie Anderson. Have I missed anyone?

      That's going to depend on how you define "celebrity". If you go searching you'll find lists that include blips on reality tv shows described in a list I found as a "Reality star that appeared on the show 16 and Pregnant in 2014", and some have various influencers listed as well.

      As far as the big/headline grabbing ones, I'd say the only one missing from your list is Sidney Poitier.
