I am, on the whole, reluctant to write an article that does exactly what it says on the tin, but Elizabeth Taylor passed away yesterday, so it seems worth bringing up. Mel Gussow, the New York Times critic who put together the Liz Taylor obituary, passed away six years before she did.
All this, of course, a consequence of the cult of celebrity and rapid generation of media which endorses the production of celebrity obituaries well before their actual deaths, in case anything happens. For more on this topic, please see 30 Rock.
