On May 16, 1990 (35 years ago today), we lost two of all time greatest people in show business; legendary Rat Pack member Sammy Davis, Jr., and Muppets creator/performer Jim Henson.
Sammy Davis, Jr. was 64 years old (born December 8, 1925) when he died after a long battle with throat cancer lasting several years.
Jim Henson was 53 years old (born September 24, 1936) when he died suddenly from a sudden massive bacterial infection and resulting toxic shock syndrome.
