In 2025, many of our favorite classic performers took their final bow. Big-screen stars like Gene Hackman, Robert Redford, and Diane Keaton, as well as small screen icons like Richard Chamberlain, Leslie Charleson and Michelle Trachtenberg passed. We mourned directors like Rob Reiner and David Lynch, musicians like Ozzy Osbourne, Sly Stone, Marianne Faithfull, David Johansen, and Brian Wilson, cultural icons like Hulk Hogan, and more.
Read on to remember the bright lights we lost this year, honored them in the order in which they passed.
