Celebrity Deaths

from Chillpak Hollywood Presents ... Hosted by Dean and Phil

One of the most popular ongoing segments in Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness’ long-running, weekly “Chillpak Hollywood Hour” has always been when they celebrate the lives and legacies of those who made indelible marks in the arts or in media. Some listeners have even let us know they would gladly listen to whole shows about celebrity deaths. Now, thanks to Chillpak Hollywood Presents …, those listeners have their chance! On this installment, nine notables get celebrated: *TV produce man Pete Napolitano *French actor Tchéky Karyo *Tony-winning actress Elizabeth Franz, whose work on the stage included such indelible Broadway classics as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Brighton Beach Memoirs, and Death of a Salesman *The beloved co-star of Redd Foxx’s “Sanford and Son”, Demond Wilson *Valentino Garavani, the designer known as fashion’s “Last Emperor” and “The Sheik of Chic” *Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir *Chariots of the Gods? author Erich Anton Paul von Däniken *Scott Adams, the controversial creator of the satirical “Dilbert” comic strip *One of the most brilliant and beloved actresses and sketch performers of all time, Catherine O’Hara Eulogies probably shouldn’t be so funny, but trust us, this show packs in the laughs!
