Movie buffs will adore this compilation of 250 Hollywood obituaries. Deaths are divided into categories such as accidents, murders, and addiction-related deaths, and each entry includes photographs and general background information along with details of the performer’s demise.

Yes, you may have come across many if not most of these tales via cable TV exposes, but the book format allows for leisurely browsing and the ability to revisit favorite performers time after time. This will be a sure-fire hit for all pop culture fans.
