If only they were here...

Hey guys,

I was just wondering, not only who's autograph would you just love to have.. but that to be here to contribute to the music/entertainment/sport etc. world as well?? But can't because they have passed away?
For example: Heath Ledger, he died very unexpectedly and way before any of us expected. He was such a great actor but, what a shame to the entertainment world that he is no longer with us?

Mine would be:

Kurt Cobain : Of course I would absolutely love a signed item. And imagine what more great music Nirvana could have produced if he hadn't committed suicide?
Bob Marley: Reggae god
Jimi Hendrix: Amazing guitarist, and an idol to lefties :razz:
John Bonham: Led Zeppelin drummer, and a great one at that
Heath Ledger: Amazing actor
George Best: Legendary footballer, would love his autograph!
2pac: Rap's best

Who are yours?

Great topic!

Bill Shankly Liverpool FC manager (one of the best ever!)
Gregory Peck An amazing actor.
Steve Irwin The Crocodile Hunter - I really loved him when I was younger.
Freddie Mercury Fantastic Musician.
John Lennon Another fantastic Musician.
John F Kennedy Speaks for itself really.

Can't think of anymore just now.

Gah, I have so many. And I think they all made impacts in their respective fields.

Fred Astaire: Fantastic dancer, actor, singer
Katharine Hepburn: My favourite actress
Cary Grant: One of my favourite actors

Then I have others. Humphrey Bogart, James Stewart, James Cagney, Bette Davis, Johnny Cash, Ginger Rogers, Gregory Peck, Spencer Tracy. I think they are some of the best entertainers.

I was lucky enough to get Wendy ttm in 2007. I've always treasured her autograph coz I'm a big fan but I treasure it even more now! {??}

The autographs I would love are....

Junior Durkin - B list Hollywood actor who died in the 1930s before his career took off. He was in "Hells House" with Bette Davis which is why I would love his autograph :D

Leslie Crowther - Legendary UK comedian/quiz show host. My idol when I was a kid! {??}

Marti Kane - Comedian and host of Opportunity Knocks.
