Those We Lost In the Trump Era -- Show Business Edition

Goodbye, Mr. Bond. And also to you, Mr. Bond.

In memoriam, those we lost between Donald Trump's stolen election and the end of his term. Show business edition.

If a figure was known for doing one thing more than another -- say, acting more than singing, or dancing more than either -- then I will put them in that category.
