Obituary in 1952: Famous People who died in 1952 

Hattie McDaniel won the Academy Award for Gone With the Wind; but a note should be added that she was prevented from attending the premier in Atlanta because the theater was Whites Only.

Buchanon ....that's just to see if we are all paying attention!

Why is Edgar Buchanan in the list? He died in 1979.

02:25 - I believe that the quote George Santayana is best remembered for was: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Christine Granville is probably the bravest and most important Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent working behind enemy lines for the UK during World War II. She was shamefully treated and unrewarded by her adopted country after the war ended. Her death (stabbed and killed by an obsessive former lover who was hanged for his crime) was a tragic one. She didn't live to see her service recognised and honoured.

I kinda laughed when I saw “Uncle Joe” thrown in the group and mentioned his death in 1979

Curly was always billed as Curly while working with the Stooges. Not just in the early years. His given name was Jerome and his family called him Babe.

Didn’t realize Curly from The Three Stooges was so young. Interesting how many of these people were born in the 1800s.

What is the music please and who by?

Three people born before the American Civil War started . Wow 😮

Curley died 4 months before I was born.

King George VI was never the "former" king of England. He died as King of England. King Edward VIII was king, but abdicated making him a former king of England.

That’s Bobby Fischer in the photo not Paul Nemenyi

Edgar Buchanan must have slipped through the 1952 kracks. BTW in case you are interested he studied to be a dentist, and I believe he had a dental practice before the acting bug bit him. Thanks for the vid, I liked it a whole lot!

David Harrison "Uncle Dave" Macon (October 7, 1870 - March 22, 1952) - Country music pioneer and the first major star of the Grand Ole opry. Rabon Delmore (December 3, 1916 - December 4, 1952 - one half of the country music duo THE DELMORE BROS - died of lung cancer.

Nice!

Eddie Laughton (June 20, 1903 - March 21, 1952) also died two months after Curly from pneumonia, also at age 48.

Overall, always well done. But so much is left out when you don't elaborate. John Garfield had a heart attack after HUAC, House UN-American Committee hounded the great actor to death. Susan Peters became a paraplegic after shooting herself in a hunting accident - and 7 or 8 yrs later, her marriage ending, no longer anything left of her acting career - nominated in 1942 for an Oscar - starved herself, resulting in total collapse of her organs. Tragedy abounds in us. PS Be more careful: Edgar Buchanan deserves at least a proper acknowledgement, not dead for years to come. Beautiful music.

Big OOOPS with the Edgar Buchanan slip up

All I can say, in addition to wishing eternal peace for these dearly departed: Thanks god for modern medicine and modern safety standards and police work!

Eva Peron was so pretty!

Just imagine what they saw born in 1850 and lived to 1950’s

Edward S. Curtis looks like Heath Ledger.

What's that music? It's so sad .

1:07. Sam McDaniel, brother of Hattie, played Spiffingham the butler in the 1948 Three Stooges short Heavenly Daze.

"Porque DEUS amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu FILHO UNIGÊNITO para que todo o que NELE crê não pereça, mas tenha a Vida Eterna." Jo.3:16.

Like going to a visitation with commercials

I want to follow this page, but the consistent inaccuracies prevent me from subscribing to it. The idea is thoughtful in its theory, but until the manager of this page gets things right, it's hard to take it seriously. Pictures, times, dates, wrong people sometimes thrown in.... it's accuracy is questionable.

That's Uncle Joe, he's a movin' kind of slow!

How could you forget Mara Eva Ibarguren Duarte de Peron? Or Dixie Lee?

Where’s Canada Lee?

🙏😞💔

🙏✝️ 10:10

❤🎉

I thought I was the only one 😂😏

Edger Buchanan died in 1979 not 1952 .

Well thats uncle Joe he's moving kinda slow at the Juntion

I didn't know of anyone

Quite a coincidence that Alfred Einstein and Albert Einstein both died from abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Curly made the three stooges 😢😢

Ever heard of "oops, a mistake"? I thought not. Best of luck with that complaining attitude.

BOY, DID YOU SCREW UP ON ONE ACTOR FROM PETICOAT JUNCTION. POOR UNCLE JOE. HE DIED IN 1979. THUMBS DOWN
