 "I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens."

- Woody Allen

Nice try! I'm sure it's the black humor talking, Allen. Death happens sooner or later. And you'll be there, pal. Some famous people lived a quiet life. But their deaths caused quite a stir. So did their dying utterances. You can't help but notice that some of these distinguished artists' last words encapsulate their personas, you know?
