All 16 of the Icons Name-Dropped in Madonna’s “Vogue” Are Now Gone

An odd bit of trivia about the passing of Lauren Bacall on Tuesday: As Marci Robin pointed out on Twitter, all 16 of the 20th-century stars immortalized in Madonna's “Vogue” are now dead. The famous black-and-white music video, directed by David Fincher, is an homage to the golden age of Hollywood.

Full list of all 16 at Salon.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

4. She's only 56.

She seems to be in great health (better than me at 51).

She doesn't seem to be prone to substance abuse.



Really, I think it marks the final end of an era of glamor that will never return.

All but one of the celebrities name-dropped by Julie brown in "Vague" are still around. so there's that!

7. Nearly half were already gone (some long gone) when she did the song

It took another 24 years before the other 9 all had died. And she wasn't singing about youngsters.

9. Lauren Bacall's last performance was as a voice over on Family Guy this year.

This is the end of an era in glamor acting.

I grew up watching the old black and white movies. My father loved them and the UHF channels always picked them up.

8. The Golden Era of Movies.

Thanks for the thread, MohRokTah.
