In 2017 we mourned the shock deaths of Hollywood actor Bill Paxton and rock stars Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell, and bid farewell to beloved family TV icons like Mary Tyler Moore, Erin Moran and David Cassidy. Playboy's Hugh Hefner and 007 star Roger Moore were just two of the many household names who left behind iconic pop culture legacies as well.
