约翰·列侬（John Lennon，1940年10月9日－1980年12月8日），生于英国利物浦，著名乐队披头士成员。
生平
1959年，列侬和四位当地青年保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）、乔治·哈里森（George Harrison）、斯达特·苏特克里（Stuart Sutcliffe）、彼得·贝斯特（Peter Best）组成了一支摇滚乐队，他们先是在本地演出，后又到德国汉堡工作。乐队几经易名，最后定为“披头士”（The Beatles 、又译“甲壳虫”）。布莱恩·易普斯坦（Brian Epstein）在利物浦洞穴俱乐部看到乐队表演后，主动提出担任乐队经纪人。此时斯达特已经离队。易普斯坦四处向唱片公司宣传乐队，引起乔治·马丁（George Martin）的注意，后者同意为他们录制唱片。 1962年10月，由于马丁对贝斯特的技术提出异议，乐队吸收了林戈·斯塔尔（Ringo Starr）作代替贝斯特担任鼓手。
乐队在1962年10月5日发行了首张单曲《爱我吧》（Love Me Do），上升到排行榜17位。次年1月11日发行的第二首单曲《请取悦我》（Please Please Me）引起了巨大的轰动，首张专辑也名登英国排行榜首。 1963年3首单曲连续获得第一名《从我到你》（From Me to You）、《她爱你》（She Loves You）和《我想握往你的手》（I Want to Hold Your Hand）。同年在英国的巡回演出取得了空前的成功，接着他们开始向大洋彼岸的美国乐坛进军。1964年“披头士”以迅雷不及掩耳之势迅速征服美国。唱片及单曲洪水般占领排行榜，“披头士狂热”（Beatlemania）迅速在世界范围蔓延。
据统计，1964年第一季度，“披头士”的唱片销售量高达美国唱片总销售量的十分之四，《辛劳之夜》（一夜狂欢，A Hard Day's Night）和《救命！》（Help!）两张专辑在艺术和商业上取得的巨大成功，使列侬和麦卡持尼被公认为是摇滚时代最有才能的作曲伙伴。1965年的单曲《昨天》（Yesterday）深受世界各国歌迷的喜爱。1967年，“披头士”乐队发行了一张受到空前欢迎的专辑《胡椒军曹寂寞芳心俱乐部乐团》（Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band），这张在流行音乐史上占有重要地位的唱片不仅是“披头士”乐队的鼎盛之作，同时也是乐队的一个转折点，布莱恩·易普斯但之死，事业上的不顺利，乐队内部的争执，给“披头士”乐队带来了不祥的阴影，尽管如此，他们还是在1968年创作并发行了一套名为“披头四”的双唱片集，因封套是雪白的，故以“白色专辑”（White album）著称。同年成立“披头士”自己的苹果公司（Apple）。约翰·列侬认识了日本先锋艺术家小野洋子。并与她合作发行了一张名为《两个处子》（Two Virgins）的唱片，随后又组建了“塑胶小野乐团”（Plastic Ono Band）。
1969年，列侬的第一首个人热门歌曲《给和平一个机会》（Give Peace A Chance）是一首反战歌曲，同年与小野洋子结为夫妇。此时“披头士”内部矛盾重重，发行了两张专辑《艾比路》（Abbey Road）和《让它去》（Let it Be）之后，乐队于1970年宣布解散。1971年，列侬和小野洋子离开英国移居美国纽约。他们从1971年到1974年不断有唱片专辑问世，包括《想像》（Imagine）、《纽约城瞬间》（Sometime in New York）、《思想游戏》（Mind Games）、《墙与桥》（Walls and Bridges）。
1975年，列侬的儿子西恩列侬(Sean Lennon)出生，使他毅然放弃了一切音乐活动，和妻儿平静地生活在一起，流行乐坛有5年之久没有听到他的声音。1980年，约翰·列侬和小野洋子的新作双重幻想（Double Fantasy）的出版似乎预示着列侬在1980年代将有更多的佳作问世。
死亡
1980年12月8日晚10点49分，列侬在自己的寓所前被一名据称患有精神病的狂热男性歌迷、美国人马克·大卫·查普曼（Mark David Chapman）枪杀，得年40岁，引起举世震惊。摇滚乐坛也失去了有史以来最富传奇色彩的人物。

Life and career
Savitch grew up in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, about thirty-five miles from Philadelphia. She attended Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, where she worked at the campus radio and TV stations and at WBBF, an AM outlet in Rochester. After graduating in the spring of 1968, Savitch worked at various radio and TV stations, including WCBS in New York and KHOU in Houston. She then became a popular local television newscaster at KYW, the former NBC affiliate (now CBS) in Philadelphia, and a Washington correspondent for NBC News. Thanks to her screen presence and attractive style, she was eventually promoted to the news anchor of the weekend NBC Nightly News, and she also anchored Frontline on PBS. Her autobiography, Anchorwoman, was published in 1982. Savitch had a stormy ten year relationship with news director Ron Kershaw and was married twice. Her first marriage to advertising executive Mel Korn ended in divorce; her second husband, gynecologist Donald Payne, committed suicide only a few months after their wedding.
On October 3, 1983 Savitch anchored a mid-evening news update called NBC News Digest, during which she was possibly under the influence of drugs. She slurred some words and skipped others entirely. Savitch had been suspected of abusing drugs in the past, and this 43-second performance, broadcast live and seen by millions of viewers across the United States, seemed to confirm those suspicions.
Death
On Sunday, October 23, 1983, Savitch had dinner with Martin Fischbein, vice-president of the New York Post, in New Hope, Pennsylvania. After the meal at Odette's Restaurant, they began to drive home about 7:15 PM, with Fischbein behind the wheel and Savitch in the back seat with her dog, Chewy. Fischbein may have missed posted warning signs in a heavy rainfall, and he drove out of the wrong exit from the restaurant and up the towpath of the old Pennsylvania Canal (Delaware Division) on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River. The car veered too far to the left and went over the edge into the shallow water of the canal. After falling approximately fifteen feet and landing upside down, the station wagon sank into deep mud which sealed the doors shut. Savitch and Fischbein were trapped inside as water poured in. A local resident found the wreck at about 11:30 that night. Fischbein's body was still strapped behind the wheel, with Savitch and her dog in the rear. After the subsequent autopsies, the Bucks County coroner ruled that both had died from asphyxiation (by drowning). He noted that Fischbein was apparently knocked unconscious in the wreck but Savitch had struggled to escape. There was no finding that drugs or alcohol had played any part in the crash.
Legacy
Savitch's estate was awarded over $8 million in a wrongful death action.Some of the money was used to set up college scholarships. The Jessica Savitch Distinguished Journalism lecture series is held at her alma mater, Ithaca College.
Jessica Savitch's life was the subject of a Lifetime Television made-for-TV movie starring Sela Ward. A theatrical movie starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Up Close & Personal, was originally intended as a biographical film about Savitch. However, the movie became an A Star is Born-style entertainment instead, possibly because of a belief that Savitch's life was too downbeat to be popular at the box office.

John F. Kennedy, Jr.
John F. Kennedy, Jr. with his father, John F. Kennedy, at the White House in 1963.John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr. (November 25, 1960 – July 16, 1999), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, Jr., JFK Jr., John Jr., John Kennedy or John-John, was an American lawyer, journalist, socialite and publisher. He was the son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and the younger brother of Caroline Kennedy (as well as the older brother of the deceased Patrick Bouvier Kennedy).
Early life
Born 17 days after his father was elected to the presidency, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was in the public spotlight from infancy. He had lived for most of the first three years of his life in the White House and under the eye of the media who adored his antics. The nickname "John-John" came from a reporter mishearing his father calling him ("John" spoken twice in quick succession), and the name stuck. His father was assassinated on November 22, 1963, three days before Kennedy, Jr.'s third birthday.
The funeral procession actually took place on his birthday, November 25, 1963. While his father's flag-draped casket was being carried out from St. Matthew's Cathedral, young JFK, Jr. stepped forward, and in one of the most heartbreaking and iconic images of the 1960s gave his father a final salute.[1]
John, Jr. grew up primarily on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Even as a boy, he was often photographed and still referred to publicly as "John-John", although Kennedy family members themselves did not use the nickname.[2] After his father's death, his mother was married to Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis from 1968 until the latter's death in 1975, when John was 14 years old.
Education
John F. Kennedy, Jr. attended The Collegiate School in New York City for the first through tenth grades, and later graduated from the Phillips Academy. Despite a less-than-average academic record, John F. Kennedy, Jr. was accepted into Harvard University, from where his father and sister graduated. John, Jr., however, turned down the offer, wanting to avoid that degree of special treatment, especially because it would have been regarded as undeserved by the public and his peers. Subsequently, Kennedy matriculated at Brown University, graduating in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in history. At Brown, Kennedy was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. In 1989, he earned a J.D. degree from the New York University School of Law. He failed the New York bar exam twice before passing on the third try.
Career
He spoke at the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta. He was an assistant district attorney in Manhattan from 1989 to 1993. In 1995, he founded George, a glossy politics-as-lifestyle monthly which sometimes took editorial aim even at members of his own family. After Kennedy's death, the magazine was bought out by Hachette Filipacchi Magazines[3] and continued for over a year. With falling advertising sales,[3] the magazine folded in early 2001.[4]
Marriage
Through the 1980s until his death, Kennedy was an often-seen and much-photographed personality in Manhattan. He married Carolyn Bessette on September 21, 1996 on Cumberland Island in Georgia, and had dated Madonna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cindy Crawford and Daryl Hannah prior to his marriage. Furthermore, he was rumoured to have had an affair with Princess Diana, but this was unconfirmed.[citation needed]
Death
On July 16, 1999, at the age of 38, John F. Kennedy Jr. was killed along with his wife and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, when the aircraft he was piloting crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. Kennedy was piloting a Piper Saratoga II HP from Essex County Airport in New Jersey to Martha's Vineyard where the Kennedy family has a vacation house. Kennedy and his wife were traveling to the wedding of cousin Rory Kennedy, which was then postponed. Lauren was to have been dropped off at Martha's Vineyard.
Kennedy was an experienced pilot; he'd flown for seventeen years and had 310 hours of flight experience (by contrast, the FAA requires 250 hours to qualify for a commercial pilot's license), including 55 hours of night flying and 36 hours in the high-performance Piper Saratoga. He had completed about half of an instrument training course. He was not yet rated for flying in low-visibility; but, at the time of his crash, he was flying in conditions that were covered by his license. The National Transportation Safety Board investigation found no evidence of mechanical malfunction and determined that the probable cause was "the pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during a descent over water at night, which was a result of spatial disorientation. Factors in the accident were haze, and the dark night." The report noted that spatial disorientation as a result of continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions is a common cause of fatal airplane accidents.
According to literature found in most FAA-approved flight training books, a pilot's inability to see the horizon can lead to spatial disorientation. The inner ear may give the pilot the impression that the plane is turning when it isn't. It takes many hours of instrument training for a pilot to be able to fly in IFR conditions, conditions that most likely existed when Kennedy was flying on his route to Martha's Vineyard. Over the water at night there are few lights, and those lights that existed were most likely obscured by the haze, resulting in the boundary between sky and water on the horizon becoming difficult to determine.
Kyle Bailey, a pilot believed to have been the last person to see Kennedy alive at Essex County Airport, subsequently stated that he had canceled his own flight to Martha's Vineyard because the enroute weather was "a little too hazy." It also emerged that while Kennedy had flown from Essex County Airport to the Vineyard several times before, he had never done it without an instructor pilot aboard or at night.
Skeptics identify as evidence of foul play many irregularities in the investigation process and many inconsistencies in the official report. For example:
• The Pentagon assumed the role of central clearing house for information. Their reports to the media contained unsubstantiated information and many inaccuracies.
• The official report indicated that no flight log was found. However, many of Kennedy’s flight passengers said he routinely kept the log in a blue duffel bag. The bag washed ashore and was recovered intact but no flight book was in it, suggesting the possibility that it had been intercepted prior to coming ashore.
• The official report stated that JFK Jr. flew without a flight instructor on the fatal flight, though reports by family and friends suggested that an instructor had been on the flight. Kennedy's co-editor Richard Blow stated that Kennedy told him the afternoon of the fatal flight that he would be flying that evening with a flight instructor. These reports are consistent with the fact, as reported in the National Transportation Safety Board report, that Kennedy had always flown his new plane with a flight instructor. Kennedy had access to a dozen flight instructors whom he routinely called on short notice. Since he was working on an instrument rating, flying with an instructor would have helped him accumulate documented flight hours toward that goal. The co-pilot's seat was missing from the retrieved wreckage, further raising suspicions on this point.
• Visibility at Martha's Vineyard on the crash day was eight miles at 9 p.m. and ten miles at 10 p.m., despite the official report's description of "hazy" skies. This is well above the minimum required by Kennedy's visual flight license. Martha's Vineyard's airport was shining its new landing lights the night of Kennedy's crash. These were bright enough to be the subject of complaining letters to the editor in the local paper.
• The search-and-rescue operation was delayed and diverted for 15 hours, despite FAA computer reports and family phone calls indicating that Kennedy was missing. The plane's emergency beacon was transmitted upon the plane's impact and was received by satellite, pinpointing Kennedy's crash site as early as 3:40 a.m the next morning. By 5 a.m., radar records of Kennedy's flight were available that identified the downed plane's location, 19 miles southwest of Martha's Vineyard. Yet, for hours, the search continued along the entire flight path and the Pentagon denied that it possessed specific information about the crash site.
• JFK Jr. checked in with the Martha's Vineyard airport at 9:39 p.m., one minute before the plane went down, as reported the morning after the crash by U.S. Coast Guard Public Information Officer Todd Bergun. Bergun's report is consistent to the minute with the NTSB's radar report, which shows Kennedy's plane five minutes away from the airport and beginning its final approach; at that time, contact with the control tower would have been required. When the Pentagon assumed control of the news reporting, it denied that Kennedy contacted the tower.
• The fuel switch on Kennedy's wrecked plane had been turned off, an act that, under normal circumstances, requires intent and cannot be completed by accident.
• Kennedy's plane fell 2,500 feet in 45 seconds, ranging from twelve to fifty times the normal rate of descent. Such a rapid descent suggests a deliberate or uncontrolled nose dive. Speaking through the Pentagon, U.S. Air Force Search and Rescue School Director Lieutenant Colonel Steve Roark said of the plane's path, "It looked like it was on its descent. I didn't see anything unusual."
During the memorial service on July 23, 1999, Kennedy's uncle, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy, said, "We dared to think that this John Kennedy would live to comb gray hair, with his beloved Carolyn by his side. But, like his father, he had every gift but length of years." And of his nephew's marriage, he invoked what had been said of his brother's Presidency: both lasted 1,000 days. Then U.S. President Bill Clinton attended the service and ordered that the flag at the White House be lowered to half-staff in honor of John F. Kennedy, Jr.
At President Clinton's orders, warships of the United States Navy assisted in the search for the downed plane. With the permission of Secretary of Defense William Cohen, a memorial service for the three victims was held aboard the Navy ship USS Briscoe. The cremated remains of Kennedy, his wife and sister-in-law were then scattered from the ship off the coast of Martha's Vineyard.
A wrongful death lawsuit by the Bessette family against the Kennedy estate concluded with an out of court settlement.[5] This avoided the publicity of a public trial, as the accident was ultimately attributed to pilot error.

ALEXANDER GODUNOV
November 29, 1949 - May 18, 1995
By Leslie Scott
Okay, so most people know that Alexander Godunov played "Karl," the semi-psychopathic terrorist in Die Hard; and "Max," the egoistical, self-absorbed ex-husband in the Money Pit; and "Daniel," Kelly McGillis' would-be suitor in Witness. What few people remember, though, is that when Godunov defected from The USSR, he not only left behind a wife who had apparently changed her mind about coming with him, but he also created a political situation between the Soviets and the US that was precarious, to say the least.
It was during the 1979 North American tour of the prestigious Russian Bolshoi. A premier ballet star, it had long been suspected that Godunov had become Americanized and wanted to defect. On the night of August 23rd, his chance came when he stayed out longer than allowed. Knowing that he had broken curfew and would probably never get another chance, he contacted authorities and asked for political asylum. At 29 years old, he had only seventy five cents in his pocket.
After discovering his absence, the KGB had Godunov's wife, Bolshoi soloist, Ludmila Vlasova, packed on a plane, heading back to Moscow. The flight was stopped, though, and the ballerina ended up sitting in the plane for three days on the Kennedy tarmac as the State Department argued with the KGB. Both US President, Jimmy Carter and Russian Premier, Leonid Brezhnev got involved while it was decided whether Vlasova had chosen to leave, or perhaps the KGB had made up her mind for her.
Godunov begged to speak to her, knowing that he could talk her into staying with him. And though the Russian's did present him the opportunity, if he did so on the plane, Godunov passed on the chance to get on a fully fueled airplane with the KGB.
After 73 hours, the State Department determined it was Vlasova’s choice to go. The plane was allowed to take off, returning Vlasova to her family Russia. Godunov spent a year trying to get her back, but in the end, there was just no way to get her out of the soviet block. The two of them divorced in 1982.
Godunov got on with his life, dancing briefly with the American Ballet Theater, travelling with his own troupe, acting in Hollywood and having a long-standing romance with actress, Jacqueline Bisset, which ended in 1988.
On May 18, 1995 his friends became concerned when he had been uncharacteristically quiet with his phone calls. Sending a nurse to his home in the Shoreham Towers, West Hollywood, Godunov was found dead at the age of forty-five of alcohol abuse with complications from hepatitis. Here is the building. He had been dead at least a couple days. In a statement issued shortly after his death, Godunov's publicist, Evelyn Shriver said "He did not have AIDS, or commit suicide ... This was a very happy time of his life ... "
Gates Kingsley and Gates Mortuary of Los Angeles were in charge of the memorial service where friends gathered amid classical music and flowers. Godunov's ashes were released into the Pacific. His mother, brother, niece and nephew, who still live in Latvia, did not attend.
Trivia: Alexander's liquor store is just to the right of the infamous Viper Room, on Sunset, where River Phoenix made his last appearance.

People这种八卦杂志推选的，我就认第一位列农，不过他已经满了四十，不算薄命。
我曾经研究过早死名人的特征，可以大致分为这样的黑五类：作曲家，诗人，摇滚歌手，数学家，色情电影明星。先列出几位大家熟悉的作曲和诗人，都不满四十岁。
韦伯，肖邦，门德尔松，格什温，舒伯特
兰波，普希金，普拉斯，拜伦，叶赛宁，布鲁克，裴多菲，济慈，纳兰性德
也不要偏听一家之言，望各位踊跃补充名字（别人的：））
