Jeff Conaway, May 27, age 60: Jeff rose to fame in the late '70s, thanks to starring roles as Kenickie in "Grease" and Bobby Wheeler on "Taxi." After struggling with alcohol and drug addiction for decades, he was featured in the first season of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" in 2008. He died of multiple causes, including a major internal infection, after being taken off life support by his family.

Annette Charles, Aug. 3, age 63: Annette is best known for playing sexy Cha Cha DiGregorio in "Grease." During the 1970s, she guest-starred on shows like "The Mod Squad" and "The Bionic Woman." She died of lung cancer.

Bubba Smith, Aug. 3, age 66: Initially a Super Bowl champ, Bubba began acting after his football career ended. His most famous role is Moses Hightower from the "Police Academy" movie series. He died from acute phentermine intoxication caused by taking too many diet pills.
