Phil Hartman, 49, 1948-1998
On May 28th, 1998, the world woke up to the news that legendary comedian Phil Hartman had tragically passed on. The artist who was at the peak of his career when he passed away was found lifeless at his home, where his wife, too, had recently breathed her last.
Before his demise, the actor had worked on an impressive number of productions, including ‘The Simpsons,’ and was part of ‘S.N.L.’ through which he earned the nickname ‘The Glue’ for his knack of bringing the cast and crew together. Sad to lose such a talent, but his work will forever live on.
