As others have noted, I too missed some passings that I learned of by viewing TCM Remembers 2009. However, TCM did not include actor Philip Carey who passed away on Feb. 6, 2009.

Really surprising. I just saw this on TV and couldn't believe how many character actors had passed on. I wonder if we'll ever see the likes of these people again. Judging by today's... not very hopeful.

I didn't think the song was too great though, just because of the age of most of the actors, it seemed somehow inappropriate, but the sentiment was still there.

I wonder if they'll stick in MJ or Brittany Murphy...

I wondered if Michael Jackson would be in the tribute, mainly because of his role in "The Wiz" and his Oscar nominated song "Ben". It doesn't surprise me that he wasn't listed, though.

I haven't seen it yet, but they always do a wonderful job with these (as well as the little musical interludes featuring the star and feature of the month).

TCM truly excels at these tributes, and I was stunned to see that I missed several passings (notably Kathleen Byron, Jane Bryan and Pamela Blake).

Nice choice of song, too. I've always felt that if the only thing Van Zandt ever wrote was Pancho and Lefty he'd still be one of the best songwriters of all time. Steve Earle was once famous for the remark: "Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I’ll stand on Bob Dylan’s coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." (He's since backed off from that.)

As always, the list is well done. But while I don't want to be Kanye West or anything, it must be noted that Michael Jackson did appear (or sing) in a few motion pictures, but didn't appear here.
