We haven't heard from these entertainers in so long, we fear they may be dead. R.I.P.

<b>The Captain</b>- It wouldn't surprise us if Daryl Dragon, aka the Captain, died recently. Born August 27, 1942, in Los Angeles, the Captain and his wife, Tennille, took the world by storm in the late '70s. Though he will be remembered for romantic songs such as "Love Will Keep Us Together," the Captain was also an accomplished musician who once played keyboards for the Beach Boys. If the Captain is dead, it seems likely that he will have requested burial at sea.

<b>Steve Miller</b>- There's an outside chance that legendary musician Steve Miller is dead. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on October 5, 1943 Miller has seemingly been making hits since he touched his first guitar at age 4. With his track record, we're honestly surprised he made it as long as he didhe managed to record and tour in support of eight albums in a little over five years, and in 1972 he broke his neck in a car accident but refused to stop touring until he later came down with hepatitis. Talk about asking for it. But the family should be fine. With classics like "Fly Like an Eagle" and "The Joker" on his greatest hits album, they're sure to make a couple million bucks in posthumous record sales.

<b>Conrad Bain</b>- Born February 4, 1923, in Alberta, Canada, Bain was best known as millionaire Philip Drummond from TV's Diff'rent Strokes—by which we mean he was only known as millionaire Philip Drummond of TV's Diff'rent Strokes. At 79 years of age, he may very well be dead by the time you read this. If so, Bain would be survived by his wife, Monica Sloan, three children and an identical brother, who also could be dead by now. Donations may be made to Stuff in lieu of flowers.

<b>Wilford Brimley</b>- Born September 27, 1934, Brimley won the hearts of movie audiences everywhere with his bushy mustache and avuncular charm. After all of those Quaker Oats commercials under his belt, we thought he'd live forever. If dead, he would be survived by a wife and three sons, whose names we could not find in a Web search. Though a known victim of adult-onset diabetes, Brimley was reportedly healthy at press time, which makes his possible death that much more shocking.

<b>Allan Melvin</b>- Born February 18, 1922, Melvin may be dead by now. Tough yet lovable, he appeared in many TV series, including The Andy Griffith Show and All in the Family. But Melvin's meatiest role was as Sam "the butcher" Franklin on The Brady Bunch. His wife of 59 years, Amalis, may be grieving, if she's not also dead.

<b>Hume Cronyn</b>- Actor Hume Cronyn may have died recently at age 91. Born on July 18, 1911 in Ontario, Cronyn starred in movies such as Cocoon and *batteries not included. He was married to actress Jessica Tandy from 1942, until her death (we think) in 1994. If My. Cronyn is dead, he will have been survived by his second wife, Susan Cooper, two children and his glass eye.

<b>Harry Morgan</b>- Born April 10, 1915, in Detroit, actor Harry Morgan might have died recently. If he did, he will be remembered as the lovable Colonel Sherman T. Potter on the hit TV show M*A*S*H. In lieu of flowers, Morgan's family probably requests that you send a donation to whatever foundation is trying to cure the disease that caused his possible death.

<b>Robert Keeshan</b>- Born June 27, 1927, in Long Island, New York, the beloved Robert Keeshan may have died recently. Forever known as the immortal (figuratively) Captain Kangaroo, Keeshan started his career as Clarabell the Clown on The Howdy Doody Show. If Keeshan is dead, the former Marine and member of the Clown Hall of Fame will be sorely missed by children and adults alike.

<b>Harvey Korman</b>- Born on February 15, 1927, in Chicago, Harvey Korman could very well be dead by the time you read this. Over the years, the sketch comedian won four Emmys as the second banana on The Carol Burnett Show, but he was never able to make a name for himself on his own. Now Korman is finally out of Burnett's shadow, provided that she did not also just die.

<b>Charlotte Rae</b>- TV's Mrs. Garrett may have died recently. Born April 22, 1926, in Milwaukee, Charlotte Rae traded the cheese of Wisconsin for a career on the stage and TV screen. Though she earned two Tony nominations, she is best known for her work on The Facts of Life and in the video Al Lewis: Forever Grandpa. "She was like a real mother to me," Kim "Tootie" Fields may have told the L.A. Times after hearing the possible news.
