If you could bring one celebrity back to life who would you choose?

Shakespeare. I would honestly like to know what he would think of his legacy. Given a little time to absorb all the changes of the past 400 years, I would like to know what he would write next.

I’d like to see John Wayne again. But he would probably take one look at what has happened to the world and he would just die.

Jim Croce. He was no where near done.

2Pac not joking

Chris Cornnell.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens ====> Mark Twain

Freddie Mercury.

Leonardo da Vinci

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

I was gonna say Mister Rogers before I even clicked the post. Good going @RedDeerGuy1
Second to him I’d say Gene Wilder.

Roid Rodgers & Cornhole Wilde. ;-p

The one, the only, Jesus. Thank you very much.

Steve Irwin.

Prince

Julius Caesar

I wonder how Jesus would be re-crucified in this modern era??

Death by social media.

^Ha!

Probably none.

^Why does that not surprise me…

Elvis or John Lennon.

Alan Rickman
Jack from Titanic…you murdered him Rose.

Robin Williams

JFK.

As for actors, it would be a toss up between Patrick Swayze or James Garner. I know they both were playing parts, but they both had a way of making me feel wonderful things via the characters they played!!!

There are too many great musicians that we lost way too soon to even choose one.
.

I’m with @chyna Freddie was so unashamed during the time of unacceptability that I’d love to see how he would handle a time of more acceptance. I just wish I could say total acceptance! He was a force to be reckoned with

I would like to see what Jimi Hendrix would have done in the ensuing decades if he never died.

@jca2 And would be nice to see Janis settled, or not, but truly happy and loved.

Many popular musicians, or more accurately songwriters, draw inspiration from their depression. Even when clearly loved by many, it does not change their perception of themselves. It is perhaps that same self loathing, and/or depression, that when put into music, attracts their fan base in the first place. So. The irony is that without the personal issues, that many musicians have in common, the world would have never been brought the happiness of their works…

Anton Szandor LaVey

@UnholyThirst88 you mean Howard Levey.

LaVey was born Howard Stanton Levey and tried to escape his background.

Escape? Nah. No more so than any other writer, entertainer or public figure who adopts a pseudonym and public persona.

Eleanor Parker as she is the mother of a dear friend of mine.
