I think the names of Guru Dutt and Geeta Dutt should have been included here. Both are quintessential ikons of a bygone era where one could suffer and die in isolation, all for being an incurable romantic. Life went on for Waheeda Rehman,a much talented but pragmatic lady, but Guru Dutt was destined to die the way he did. Geeta Dutt was another victim of scorned love and alcohol.
Death always leaves survivors to suffer. Madhurbala, Meena kumari and Marlyn died so early that their fans practically wept. They were in the heart of the public. God bless their soul
