Due to the recent number of celebrity deaths, here is a good place to 
record their passing.
13 responses total.

Elia Kazan died yesterday, director of "On the Waterfront" and "East of 
Eden."

I've noticed that several of the recent celebrity deaths have the age of 
death in common.
John Ritter  54
Warren Zevon  54
Robert Palmer 54
Stanley Fafara (Whitey from Leave it to Beaver) 54

  (except that "54" isn't a permissible number in base 5..  perhaps that's
  why the "or something"..)

But 54 base 16 is 84 base 10.  Perhaps that's the "or something".
