14. Mel Street
Via recordsale.de
A cool name for a cool dude. Mel Street was a country singer in America, and while the finale to his life was less than ideal, his musical career was pretty impressive. He was the star of his own television show which aired on Saturday nights for those groovy kids way back when. Before he moved to a large record label (GRT Records), he belonged to a much smaller company called Tandem. He made it to the Top 20 Hits list two times with “You Make Me Feel More Like a Man” and “Forbidden Angel.” Unfortunately, fame took its toll on Street, and he became very depressed. On his birthday (October 21, 1978), he took his own life.

What took Gertrude Astor out was a stroke, which unfortunately ended her life on her 90th birthday. Born and died on November 9th, she did have a long life. Even though she lived to be 90 years old, she had never taken a husband to wed, but she did play the trombone and saxophone! She also was the first female actor to make a deal with Universal Studios (this happened way back in 1915.) The multi-talented lady starred in several silent films, such as Polly Redhead, The Lion Man, and The Cat and the Canary. She also starred in a number of comedies as well!
