Pretty much in agreement with many of the others, but right now mourning Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip who passed just a little over a week ago. Incredible life story there.

George Burns? He live to be 100 !! Bob Hope ?

You have a strange vision about dying too young. But...I kind of like that.

Well, if you brought back a bunch of celebrities that died due to some sort of addiction, wouldn't they just be likely to do it again in a short time? That seems like a waste. Or would bringing them back include some type of forced rehab?

Maybe a different approach:
Bring back 5 of history's biggest assholes that killed themselves to avoid punishment (or otherwise avoided punishment) so that they could be fittingly/publicly punished. I could get behind that

I would have loved to see how chris farley's career would have gone, but he was so drugged out of his mind. Same can be said for belushi.
John ritter is a good one
mitch hedberg died way too soon, great comedian with an interesting view on life.. up there with george carlin and gallagher

Some great ones listed for sure. Can’t disagree with any of them. For me, John Candy John Ritter, Carrie Fisher, Bill Paxton and Rual Julia.
