Chris Penn ─ At Age 40

Penn’s demise came as a shock to everyone who heard about it. While he was known to have had a heart ailment, nobody expected that it would have taken his life at the time it did. Unfortunately, that was exactly what
happened.

The actor left everything behind, and authorities recovered the body in his Santa Monica condominium on the 24th of January, 2006. An autopsy followed, revealing that the then 40-year-old had battled heart disease for longer than imagined. Still, we can all agree that Penn was a very successful actor with 50 films and even lent his talents to the popular game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Sawyer Sweeten – At Age 19

Sawyer Sweeten, a child actor, was known for his role in Everybody Loves Raymond as Geoffrey Barone. Sawyer wasn’t much of a social person outside his acting life, as he was a tranquil and shy person in real life.

He was also known to suffer from depression like other family members and was on medication at a particular time because of his mental health. Sadly, Sawyer’s life was cut short in 2015 after he suddenly chose to depart this world. The reason for Sweeten’s decision continues to remain unknown to this day.

Andy Hallett – At Age 33

Exceptional singing and acting sensation, Andy Hallett is known for giving life to Krevlornswath “Lorne” in the super famous television series titled *Angel(. The show is the star’s most prominent acting project because it was while working on it that his talent for singing and music was discovered!

Sadly, Andy suffered a weal heart back in 2009 and fought hard for five hours before exhaling one last time, at 33. The reason for his passing was summarized to be congestive heart failure, and all we can say is, he was a shining star that shone bright and burned out too fast.

Alice Playten – At Age 63

Alice Playten was an incredible actress, and it was a well-known fact as well. Speaking of facts, she was honored with the “Obie Award” two times during her time in the industry, which was also why she is often referred to as the “Obie One.”

Although she was often taking home awards and gracing red carpets regularly, Playten’s health conditions always managed to take a toll on her. Alice had pancreatic cancer and diabetes, and in 2011, her ailments claimed her life. The icon was aged 63 when she passed, which makes us wonder if she would have lived longer with better health care.

Gina Mastrogiacomo – At Age 39

A well-recognized face back in the 90s, Gina Mastrogiacomo, was discovered by director Martin Scorsese, who observed great potential in her and allowed her to be on set. And she made him proud, to say the least, as she proved to be a hard worker and quick learner not only with Goodfellas but in the opportunities that followed her debut as well.

But maybe Gina was too pretty and too perfect for the world because heaven called her name when she was only 39. The cause was myocarditis, and we can only wonder all the things she could have accomplished had she lived on; Gina left us all too soon!
