NAME A DEAD PERSON, ANY DEAD PERSON: Quick, picture the most famous dead celebrity you can think of. Got it?
Who'd you pick? Elvis? Marilyn? James Dean? John Lennon? Kurt Cobain? Kate Hepburn? Audrey Hepburn? Sinatra? Bogie? Judy Garland? How about Red Skelton?
Skelton, according to a list of the top dead stars, is the fifth-most recognizable celeb in the great beyond. Those ten names I mentioned before? Apparently their Q score ranks below that of Lucille Ball, John Wayne, Bob Hope, and Jimmy Stewart, who rank Nos. 1-4. In fact, none of those iconic figures made the top 10, edged out by the likes of Michael Landon, Johnny Carson, John Ritter, Jackie Gleason, and Charles Schultz.
Tellingly, "coming in last on the list was diet guru Dr. Robert Atkins, who died in 2003. Tupac Shakur and Johnnie Cochran also ranked towards the bottom." and "the national survey was conducted by mail questionnaire." Still, though, Red Skelton? Really?
