Through blockbusters, breakthrough performances, and chart-topping hits, we've had to say goodbye to many influential entertainers in 2013.
From unexpected deaths of younger stars to the passings of Hollywood legends, we take a look back at the stars we've said goodbye to this year.
Henry Bromell (Age 65)
The executive producer of "Homeland," also known for his screenwriting and directing work on "Chicago Hope" and "Northern Exposure," died from a heart attack on March 18.
"Homeland" co-creators Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon spoke out following Bromell's passing:
“Henry was a profoundly decent and generous man. A great writer and a great friend. No matter how crazy things got, when he was in the room, you knew everything was going to be okay. Everybody here at Homeland is grieving, and we will miss him beyond words."
Richard Griffiths (Age 65)
The British actor known for his Tony-award winning role in "The History Boys" and as Uncle Vernon Dursley in the "Harry Potter" films died from heart surgery complications on March 28.
Following his death, Nicholas Hytner, the director of “The History Boys"told BBC:
“He had this amazing ability to take you into oceans of desolation. He was able to be funny, sometimes hilariously funny, and desperately tragic, sad, at the same time. Very few actors have that.”
Jane Henson (Age 78)
Jane Henson and her husband Jim brought the iconic Muppets to life, introducing the loveable puppet gang to 1950s television via five-minute segments on NBC's "Sam and Friends."
Henson died on April 2 following a long battle with cancer.
