The text is a compendium of obituaries of individuals associated with the performing arts who have died in 2015. The text takes a broad scope as to who is included; Paris Hilton’s deceased
chihuahua makes the cut, nestled in between an accomplished casting director and one of the cartoonists killed in the Charlie Hebdo attack. The text includes musicians, directors, stage actors,
reality star performers, make-up artists, and more. Each entry summarizes the decedent’s career and includes age and cause of death. Most entries include a photograph. The text comes out
annually. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
