Hydeia Broadbent, 39. Not a household name, but prominent for her lifelong campaign to reduce the stigma of those with HIV and/or AIDS. Hydeia was born HIV+, the result of her birth mom’s drug addiction. By age five, the little girl was diagnosed with AIDS.
In 1992, when she was only seven years old, she appeared on a Nickelodeon program with Earvin Johnson to bring awareness to their illnesses. It was the beginning of what would become a friendship to last her lifetime.

He didn’t look very good on the last episode of curb, your enthusiasm. Ghostly white, very thin. I noticed they didn’t have them get out of the golf cart I’m thinking he probably couldn’t

Richard Lewis was a funny guy whose roles weren’t that far removed himself without a script.

He hadn’t looked well in the last few years and was open about his battle with alcohol.

Never in a million years would I have guessed Lewis had gone to OSU. He was so funny doing standup on Letterman’s Late Night. So neurotic and insecure.

I'm not a South Park aficionado.. but I know the general characters, themes, narratives, etc - and it can be pretty entertaining the times I've stopped long enough to watch it.

Paul Alexander at 78 years old. He had been living in an iron lung since he was 6 because of polio. Apparently COVID was the culprit. I can't imagine on what his views on these anti-vacers was.
