In Memoriam-Mid Year 2010

The world has lost many notable people so far this year, including groundbreaking singer Lena Horne, Polish leader Lech Kaczynski, heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio and major league pitcher Jose Lima. Here are some talented and interesting stars that we will miss and will always remember:

Rue McClanahan
1934 - 2010

Rue McClanahan won an Emmy for her role as Southern belle Blanche Devereaux in the sitcom "The Golden Girls," an unlikely hit about four aging - and often eccentric -- women. The show, which also starred Beatrice Arthur, Betty White and Estelle Getty, lasted from 1985 - 92. McClanahan, who was married six times, died of a stroke June 3. She was 76.

Gary Coleman
1968-2010

Former child actor Gary Wayne Coleman was best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in the TV sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes" (1978 to 1986). He suffered from a congenital kidney disease, a side effect of which limited his growth. His later years were plagued by financial and legal problems. In 2006, Coleman married Shannon Price, whom he met on the set of the comedy "Church Ball."

John Forsythe
1918-2010

New Jersey-born actor John Forsythe is best known for his portrayal of Blake Carrington on the hit television show "Dynasty" from 1981 to 1989.
