Hollywood & Media Deaths 2022: A Photo Gallery

It’s been a tough year for Hollywood, beginning with the tragic loss of comedian Bob Saget in January. Many other big-name celebrities and media figures have passed in the months since such as William Hurt, Ray Liotta, Sidney Poitier, Naomi Judd, Gilbert Gottfried, Nichelle Nichols, Peter Bogdanovich and many more.

Then there were the lesser-known — but no less beloved — talents such as Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, Leave It to Beaver star Tony Dow, actress Mary Alice from The Matrix, comic book artist Neil Adams, producer Heather Gray and, of course, the great Paul Sorvino.
