englishjim Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I was thinking today about certain guests I would like to see come to future events but after looking them up I found out they had sadly passed away. With that in mind my question to my fellow conventionites is; Which dead celebrities would you have liked to come to a convention? For me the first names that spring to mind would be Christopher Reeve, Dick Durock, Bob Hoskins, Harold Ramis, Richard Griffiths, Leslie Nielsen, Don S. Davis, Roddy McDowall, Jim Henson, Vincent Price and Donald Pleasence. OK, I'm gonna stop now or I'll be writing all night. I hand this subject over to you now. Who would you have wanted to meet, had they not passed away? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malky Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ryan Dunn...Jackass Donald Pleasence...Halloween Chris Farley...Tommy Boy & Beverly Hills Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knitty Fred Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton and come to that everyone else in the Who universe I've never met which of course would also include Peter Cushing who I was going to include anyway. Likewise all those from the B5 universe that have passed beyond the rim - Andreas Katsulas, Richard Biggs, Jeff Conaway. I'd also second Jim Henson and Vincent Price.

_ItsWilliam_ Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 William Hartnell, Patrick. Trough ton, Sydney Newman (these are just the few I cann think off) And without a doubt, Elisabeth Sladen, the legend of Who, the women who made me find Doctor who with her spinoff, what a legend she was, I could imagine her in bthe 50th, but it never happend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy1988 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 All the old Doctors from Doctor Who that have sadly passed like Hartnell, Pertwee etc.. Bruce Lee and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if someone in my sig have snuffed it too as I'm always suggesting people that are sadly no longer with us any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Despite being at previous events, due to budget and priorities I also missed out on quite a few Doctor Who guests who are no longer with us, Elizabeth Sladen, Mary Tamm and Nicholas Courtney.

sylvesterfan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think I am defo a kiss of death... I had tickets to see Elisabeth Sladen, but ended up in hospital for a month so missed her. It was her last convention. Wanting to finish my Star Trek originals poster - Leonard Nimoy now no longer does conventions. Also wanted to see Queen in concert - Freddie Mercury died. Wanted to see Eurythmics in concert - they split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishjim Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 bill bixby That would be so cool. How about a double photo shoot of Bill & Lou together? We can but dream. I got Bill & Lou's autograph years ago. I have it framed on the wall, next to my Dean Cain & Terri Hatcher signed photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_ItsWilliam_ Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Love this thread! Another person I thought if would be Neil Armstrong, the first legend who walked on the moon, I'd love to meet the first person on the moon. Just imagine saying that "I've met the first person on the moon!" ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
