Are there Broadway stars no longer with us who you particularly miss?  Perhaps you might include a video.

I did not have the good fortune to see this star in performance, but miss her nonetheless.  Even singing a simple old song, she held our attention.

The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

When I created this thread, I should not have restricted it to stars who are no longer with us.  Instead, I expand it to Broadway stars and others, whether on stage or behind the scenes, who are no longer active for whatever reason.  Sorry.
