(Okay, so a number of them pumped their bodies full of enough drugs to mellow the western hemisphere, but that's beside the point here...work with me.)
In particular, I started running down my list o' dead celebs, and it became rather apparent to me that Dan Aykroyd might be the Angel of Death. Among his soon-to-be-dead co-stars are Chris Farley, John Candy, John Belushi, Tupac Shakur, River Phoenix, Jack Lemmon, Phil Hartman, Anna Chlumsky...wait, she's not dead. I never saw 'My Girl', but somehow I had it in my head that she died. Did she die in the movie, or was that Macaulay Culkin?
Anyhow. Lots of dead folks piling up around Dan. Not saying it's his fault, just saying that's a lot of dead people.
So this week's quiz is a little morbid, but bear with me. Two parts to this: first, match the dead actor to the living. Each list contains both. With only one exception, I've tried to avoid scenarios where both actors are dead but screws fall out every day - the world's an imperfect place. Next, identify the film which starred both actors.
An example: Heath Ledger (B, dead) starred with Christian Bale (1, living) in 'The Dark Knight'.
A) Alicia Silverstone
B) Heath Ledger
C) Jet Li
D) Dudley Moore
E) Christina Ricci
F) Chris Farley
G) Harrison Ford
H) Sharon Tate
I) Kevin Bacon
J) Rodney Dangerfield
K) Marilyn Monroe
L) Steve Martin
M) Bruce Lee
N) John Belushi
O) Dan Aykroyd
1) Christian BaleB) Heath Ledger
C) Jet Li
D) Dudley Moore
E) Christina Ricci
F) Chris Farley
G) Harrison Ford
H) Sharon Tate
I) Kevin Bacon
J) Rodney Dangerfield
K) Marilyn Monroe
L) Steve Martin
M) Bruce Lee
N) John Belushi
O) Dan Aykroyd
2) Raoul Julia
3) David Spade
4) River Phoenix
5) Tony Curtis
6) Aaliyah
7) Joe Pesci
8) John Candy
9) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
10) Bo Derek
11) John Candy
12) Tupac Shakur
13) Brittany Murphy
14) Mia Farrow
15) Chris Penn
Simple, yes? It's supposed to be fun, kids. Don't kill yourself over this.

I've intercoursed up somewhere because I have two sets of two dead folks. Side note: I totally forgot that Chris Penn was dead. Poor bastard.
I'm quite impressed!
Kari, I have John Candy twice (once as the living portion of the duo, once as the dead one), I also forgot that he was in The Blues Brothers.
Harmony, so glad to see you back! You missed identifying which one was dead and which one wasn't...even though we all know.
Wait...I forgot all about Tony Curtis dying last year. You're still right, Kari, and Marilyn was the only one who died 'before her time'. Like a candle in the wind.
Or something like that.
I very rarely watch movies...
What?! I'm busy watching Cops!
Pearl
Holy Hades! I'm not jumping in this game.
OK, so it's obvious I'm late to this party....but let me say, this is the best trivia post yet!!!! Very fun!!!! :-)
