Departed Celebrities You May Not Know About

As they say in Hollywood, celebrities often come and go. Some of the entertainment industry’s brightest may eventually experience a decline at some point in their careers. The fortunate thing is that many of them make successful investments away from the limelight. There are those who establish businesses, new careers, or even become major players behind the scenes.
However, this isn’t always the case. There are actors and actresses who disappear from the spotlight, not because their fame has faded, but because they passed on. Not every celebrity death gets covered by the media, so we’ll be talking about the ones you may not know about.
