A bunch of Actors and Politicians died on mine. Nothing of value was lost.

The only one I really care about is John Hurt.

 

[Sprig of Parsley]

I remember Peter O'Toole dying on my birthday. Shitty fucking birthday gift, frankly.
Also, George Washington. Damn.

 

[UnKillFill]

So when I made this account, I thought it would be funnier to use "Uncle Phil" 's birthday rather than my own, so I chose the result I found on google as my birthday here. (Apparently the actor who played him had an entirely different birthday, didn't know that at the time haha.)

Apparently Gandhi, Coretta Scott King, and Orville Wright all died on Uncle Phil's birthday.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

Some dorky emperor. (Charles V)
