The Simpsons: Curse

Eric lists three guest stars on The Simpsons who have since died:

• Barry White
• Phil Hartman
• Linda McCartney

SNPP (Springfield Nuclear Power Plant) has a list of guest stars through 2000. I used to joke about a "Simpsons Curse" but looking at this list, I might be onto something. The ones I recognise as being dead (and some I confirmed at Dead Or Alive) are:

• George Harrison
• Chick Hearn
• Steve Allen
• Bob Hope
• Johnny Carson
• Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone
• Werner Klemperer
• Tito Puente
• Lawrence Tierney
• Paul Winfield
• Rodney Dangerfield
• Johnny Cash
• Jack Lemmon
• Jim Varney
• Rod Steiger
• Audrey Meadows

And then there's the whole New York episode...
