It always gets me when I see someone like Betty Compson, born in 1897 her life long gone. She was young once, a film star. I Ponder what her life must have been like. I wish I could go back in time and just say hello to her.

I did not know that Frank Sutton was only 50. He was truly funny.

Makes you appreciate the advances in medicine in the last 50 years when you see how living to your mid 70s or early 80s was considered a good long life, and how much less treatable cancer and heart disease were. Admiral Richardson was an outlier for his time, whereas both my parents are alive and well in their 90s, as are many other senior members of my family.

Thanx for a great video and a walk for me down memory lane. I remember watching and loving them all❤

I was 14 at that time. I am shocked to see who passed away. RIP to all.

There were an awful lot for 50:year olds dying back then.

A lot of stars died of heart attacks in 1974.

I didn't see anything about Edward Platt in here. He was great as The Chief on Get Smart.

That’s a photo of Bobbin Darrin not Moose Charlap

My birth year! I recognise few of these people. Agnes Moorehear, Mana Cass, Bud Abbott, Duke Ellington plus a couple of others. So much cancer!

A reminder that every person born into the world is unique...

I was literary just 6 years old I loved my generation 70’s 80’s and 90’s,,,,,, generation x is by far the best generation ever

So peaceful, and memorable, and all in all a wonderful experience. 💎

You forgot Edward Platt. He was the actor who played the chief on Get Smart. Vittorio De Sica an Italian film director who was part of the neo-realism movement in Italian cinema. Richard Long actor who played Jared Barkley on The Big Valley and as a widower mathematics teacher with three kids and an English nanny in Nanny & The Professor

I was very shocked, so many Worldfamous and International Persons who died in 1974. R.I.P. ☀️☀️☀️🍀🍀🍀😍😍😍😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

God bless ed he had a really good show.he had alot good talent on his show .colour of your skin didnt matter.loved his show.he had from The byrds to baseball Players explaing how they hit the ball.😢😢

Back in 1974 people did not survive cancer or heart problems as much.

Nice elegiac music.

Can you do 1973? Did you know these people died in 1973? Jim Croce Lyndon B. Johnson

I was surprised that Pete Hamm was not here. He was the frontman and writer for the rock band "Badfinger."

It was pretty interesting to learn that Tim Horton was a hockey player. Maybe it will become useful for trivia.

Admiral Richardson had been relieved by FDR and replaced by Admiral Kimmel before the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. Richardson disagreed with the decision to move the Pacific Fleet from San Diego to Hawaii.

I did not know some of these died as long ago as 1974. Half a century - wowl.

1.12 Miss you, Aggie!!!!!!! 💜⚘️

Richard long should have been on that list

I don't know what it is about these videos, but they seem to unleash the absolute worst in some people. It's not the poster's fault; they legitimately want to honor the depicted deceased. But in the comments about Cass Elliott, it seems like they felt the need to unnecessarily insult each other. What the hell is wrong with these people?

I was 21 in '74,I remember many of these people. I watched HAZEL,I didn't know he died at only 21. So many actors died so young! Very sad indeed.💔😥

Oskar Schindler, my favorite, God Bless Him!

Pinkney "Pink" Anderson was born in South Carolina about the same time a blues guitarist named Floyd Council was born in North Carolina. Little did they know that one day their first names would be used by an English progressive rock group to be called Pink Floyd.

Bad year for heart attacks my father was 45 that year when he passed from one good to see how far we have come saving lives using cpr and now aed machines. It started with the help of the tv series emergency engine 51.❤❤❤

John Ritter resembles his dad Tex, who also tragically died of a heart attack.

Jack Benny was on radio/television from 1932 to 1966

Walter abrennan used to say. NO BRAG JUST FACT. My dad loved that.

12:39 is Bobby Darren.

Most of the Founding Fathers lived into their 80's and 90's with no medicine. Heart disease was almost unheard of in 1900. Yes people are living longer today, but they are not healthy.

Agnes Moorehead was also in Citizane Kane.

Amazing the athletes that died of heart attack pre roid days,

Joe Flynn was found at the bottom of his pool with a leg cast on. They weren't sure if he was in or out of the pool when he had the heart attack

Pamela Courson was 27 Same age as Jim Morrison was three years earlier

Rudolph Dasslwr founded Adidas. His brother founded Puma.

Funny how much Moose Charlap looks like Bobby Darin.

12:35. That's Bobby Darin, all right.

I might be wrong on this but I think the rock group Pink Floyd got the first name Pink from Pink Anderson. Someone check me on this. 1974 was the year I graduated from college. Can’t believe it’s been 50 years

Should add Tex Ritter was the father of the late comic/actor John Ritter.

Wow, Pink Floyd Anderson died the day before I was born, Ed Sullivan died the day I was born and Sattar Bahlulzade died the day after I was born. I wonder which famous person or people will be born the day I die. 🤔

Pàm Courson and Jim Morrison ..... so sad.

Motoyoshi Oda also died in 1973.

Ed Sullivan's show began in 1948, not 1955.

So many wrong details...lol 😂

That's not Moose Charlap. It's Bobby Darin. Hope he's singing one of Moose's songs here...

Sorry for incorrect comment. I didn't know them all.

A lot of heart attacks at early ages

i don't mean any disrespect to the dead, may they rest in peace, but unless it was a friend or famiy member who died that year, and i sometimes think about them I could care less and the reason i say that is dam!! come on now it's been fifty freakin years already.

Stewie Dempster? I am a cricket fan and love reading about the history of the game but have never heard of him. Might read up about him….although probably not so exciting seeing he was a Kiwi. 😉

It seems like an epidemic of heart failure was going around in the 70s.

12:45 That looks an awful lot like Bobby Darrin.

Moose is Bobby Darin ???

What about Buford Pussar?

Entreguemos nossas vidas nas benditas mãos de nosso SENHOR E ÚNICO SALVADOR JESUS CRISTO!

That one lady who died at 65, couldn't be her pic. that woman looked 85.

Jack Benny was 49 when he died.

gosh what horrid muzak

Bonos mother ??? You have to be joking , ridiculous

Rudolf Dassler established Adidas, not Nike. I give up!! Check your facts!!!!

In Memoriam 1974 We are in 2024. This is a little behind times.

That's Bobby Darin, not Moose Charlap.
