(Updated 8/20/10, 8:40p: corrected tribute links) It has been a long while, but I am finally able to get to some Tribute updates. The Tributes for those lost in 2010 are still in process, but here are the remaining luminaries of 2009.

You can also go directly to the main 2009 tributes page here: 2009 Tributes.

Please join me in celebrating the many wonderful artists and technicians we have lost. There are thirty-four individuals here from the Oscar winner Jennifer Jones (pictured right) to sportscaster George Michael; from actress Bina Rai to casting director Shirley Rich; from animator Roy E. Disney to singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt; and so many others.
