All the people ROWW helped and I'm betting all the people that knew him will always remember him. He was more than just an actor! He was a beacon of light in this often dark world.

I doubt it, he's not an idol like Elvis, or Monroe. I don't think Earnhardt is in that category either, only for nascar fans, and certainly not 2pac, wth!

Look on Forbes list
2002 Both 2pac and Earnhardt were on it

2003 and both are on list

2004 and both are on list

Tupac fell out of the list but has come back. After his hologram in 2012 his sales went through the roof. Dale still sells about a million in merchandise and he gets royalties from a roller coaster named after him, Beef Jerky and racing related things.

But really, would anyone even know who these two are 50 years from now? You say 2pac, and I'm sure the response would be, "Who"? Now if you say someone like, Adolf Hitler, or John F. Kennedy, and Abraham Lincoln, I'd say 90% or more have heard of them.

True but Elvis and Monroe have been dead for over 30 years and people still know who they are. When I was in 10th grade in 2005 kids were talking about Tupac if he was alive. I still hear kids in malls talk about Tupac. If his estate markets his image right I believe people will remember him. Dale has his son to keep his memory alive and a few other things. James Dean has been dead for over 50 years and only appeared in a few movies but people still remember him.
