Correcting myself: Guy Hamilton, not Williams. I'm reinstalling Windows ATM, and my brain is totally fried. No idea why my mind thought Williams. XD

Much love for this tribute! I wonder, is there a list of tribute items somewhere? I'm sure I've missed some over the years.

As always, this was absolutely perfect - from the text in the posting for it, to the name of the item, to the subtle sneaking in Chyna in the text.
We're loosing too many people too quickly to do an item for everyone - Guy Williams who did most of the really good early James Bond movies also died Thursday. It was mentioned by the Guardian newspaper that their obituary editor cannot create a webpage with all of the famous deaths that have occurred thus far in 2016 because of how many there have been - it's a mess, it's too long, and there's no way to properly attribute kind words to each person on the front face of such a page because we've literally lost just that many people so far this year. I think, overall, given how many people who have died, Subeta's done a smashing job with their tributes to the ones who have made a huge impact in a significant number of people's lives - they do kind of need to focus more on the ones who have the largest impact, given how much of an annus horribilis 2016 is being for famous individuals endings.

@kellie_cd_sub I'm old too and also remember them all, wrestling was my life in the 90's and early 2000's. Admittedly I haven't watched it much recently but HHH is still one of the hottest guys on the planet at nearly 50 imo, I even have a pet named after him *snuggles Hearst*
But Prince was like global...You'll be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of him, He influenced a lot of people from a lot of walks of life so I understand it.
You have a great night too! ^_^

@Illyria i understand that. ~shrugs~ These wrestlers were big back in the 90s, so probably not well known to a lot of people on Subeta. i'm an old fart and remember them though. Have a great night.

@kellie_cd_sub Well realistically, Subeta can't make tributes for every single celebrity that dies.
There was a comment from
Dannica over on the bragging and complains forum
Maybe subeta staff just doesn't have many wrestling fans. I love Chyna, Have done since the 90's but I was happy enough that she got an acknowledgement.

Dannica over on the bragging and complains forumQuote:
I mean if the staff don't even know who the people really are, would you want a half assed tribute that has no real meaning and feeling?There aren't any set guidelines, it really just depends. I did the tribute to Terry Pratchett because he and his books have been a major influence in my life - but most of the other staff members weren't familiar with his works. When you're not personally familiar with something and know it, it can be difficult to determine what would make a meaningful tribute, so that can certainly be a factor.

@Illyria i had forgotten the Alan Rickman book. Not much of a tribute, then again we also lost two other wrestlers this month, Balls Mahoney and Charlie Fulton.

An electric word, life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time. Not nearly long enough for some, RIP Prince.

Thank you for this tribute gift.
If there is one thing that I do appreciate about this site is the thoughtfulness the staff gives us when unfortunate times like this happen.

:'C Thank you for the great tribute to some of my favorites we've lost this week. The man whose music inspired me, and the woman who showed me that we girls can kick ass just like the "big boys". And sweet Doris, who felt like the second grandmother I've been missing in my life through her many roles.

I'm hoping Prince and Chyna are seeing the afterlife that Prince spoke of in his song, "Let's Go Crazy".

Noooooo.....!!!(-~-) Why-y-y.... Prince AND Doris, not cool at all. It's making me hate this past year and a half even more! First Leonard Nemoy, then Terry Pratchett, THEN Robin Williams a few months back... Now PRINCE DIES?!!! Minnesota's great rock legend fades like the rain... (;^;)

RIP. I heard about Prince from one of my customers earlier today.
That was shocking. What's with all these celebs passing away?! It's crazy.
They are all leaving 1 after another.

That was quick, kudos to the artist! Very pretty item and fitting wig. RIP Prince & Chyna & everybody else.
This year might turn into a new 27 club phenomeon. 2016 club. And we're not even halfway through the year.

Thank you for remembering Chyna in the item description! She was a true trailblazer for American womens wrestling who is only now receiving the recognition she truly deserved in life.

Also, what a nice way to sneak Chyna and Doris Roberts into the description.

I have so many good and fond memories of listening to him when I was a tiny tater tot. My ma adored his music, and so did the guy she was dating at the time, so that was the mainstay of cassettes during car rides and when the record player was on at home.
RIP. :'C
