Dead Celebrity Trivia: August 4th, 2021

Good afternoon, and welcome to the only game on r/trivia where we gleefully dig up famous people's pasts: Dead Celebrity Trivia! As always, you'll be tasked to identify a random famous no-longer-with-us guest of honor...think you're up to the task?

For those who are new to the game (or those who want to review how to play), you can find the rules here.

Play ball!

EDIT: Congratulations to u/BrissBalls for deciphering the correct answer first (and to u/LeaningLeft, who came in second by a few minutes)! It was >!Colonel Sanders!<.
