Amazing the number of famous, interesting, or both, people who died through the years on Christmas Day. They've been running promos on the local news saying that Christmas is one of the deadliest days of the year. Not necessarily because people are getting drunk and wrecking their cars, but just because it is. Maybe you're just holding on, and you make it to Christmas, and you think, "This is as good a time to go as any." And you're gone.
Here's a list. In case it isn't immediately obvious, I've attached the person's job or a key descriptor in parentheses: Eartha Kitt, James Brown, Frank Calabrese, Jr (hitman), Anatoli Boukreev (mountaineer), Jon Benet Ramsey, Dean Martin, Nicholea Ceausescu, Billy Martin, Joan Miro (surrealist), Joan Blondell, Charlie Chaplin, W. C. Fields, Yoshihito (123rd Emperor of Japan) and Adrian I (Pope).
