While I rather meant to revive my " Jackie Cooper " line for this one...ELYSE KNOX , a starlet/B-level actress in the 1940s , who appeared in a Lon Chaney mummy movie , was a Roy Rogers leading lady ( pre-Dale as the permanent one ??? ) and much else besides , though she retired for marriage in the late 40s , died several days back . I kept meaning to put it up...
She was mother-in-law to Rick Nelson and , thus , grammy to the
" Nelson " twins and the actress Tracy Nelson was her...Daughter?? I'm a little uncertain on the last part , the clock is ticking against me now .
Anyway , loads of entertainment connections !!!!!!!!!
For more " not-really-comics " celeb deaths , of course , WHITNEY HOUSTON and DON CORNELIUS , both under unfortunate circumstances and both in Los Angeles , both died too .

Tracy Nelson is Rick's daughter. Tracy's mother, Kristin, is Elyse Knox's daughter. Knox was also mother to Mark Harmon of NCIS and Kelly Harmon.
...OK , thank you :-) . Smiles for you , not the Knoxes/Nelsons/whatever in their , if inevitable , moment of sorrow/passage...
