Can you think of entertainers who were killed in a plane crash? These are the ones I can think of right now.
Carol Lumbard - Died January 16, 1942 (aged 33)
Mount Potosi, NV.
Ricky Nelson - Died December 31, 1985.
Buddy Holly - February 3, 1959 (aged 22)
Clear Lake, Iowa.

Oh yeah, I remember that. They had just released the Street Survivors album. The original cover photo was the band standing in front of a wall of flames. After the crash the record company changed the cover to a different image. There was speculation that the original would become a valuable collectors' item, but I don't think it ever got to be worth much.
Patsy Cline - March 5, 1963
I consider figure skaters to be entertainers - borderline because they were amateurs, but the entire US figure skating team was killed in a plane crash in 1961.

shareMost of the Manchester United first team in the late 50s. Crashed when taking off in snow and killed all but about 4 of them.
