The film and TV world lost a number of beloved and talented individuals in 2016. Saying goodbye to these remarkable people is not easy, but here is a gallery of the year's lost.
As always, any omissions are not intentional, and I would welcome comments on your memories of those featured here, or those that I may have inadvertently left out of the gallery.
To all we lost in 2016, Godspeed, and rest in peace.

Now I know how my parents must've felt when the likes of Henry Fonda, Cary Grant, and Fred Astaire started dying off in the 80s. Part of your childhood is washed away and you're left with the spectre of your own mortality. This was an especially rough year for that revelation.
