They missed some, such as actor James Best and "Star Trek" actress Grace Lee Whitney. Grace perhaps wasn't well known to many but I saw more of her in tv shows and movies than Alex Rocco. And James Best! He was in a few movies, including "The Caine Mutiny" and many early tv shows as well as his most infamous role, that of Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane in "The Dukes of Hazzard" tv series. He also taught acting. His omission was glaring.

Quote by sliderocker re. James Best:
He also was featured in three of Twilight Zone episodes, "The Grave" (a Western-themed episode alongside Lee Marvin, Lee Van Cleef, and Strother Martin); "The Last Rites Of Jeff Myrtlebank" (with Edgar Buchanan and Dub Taylor); and "Jess-Belle" (with Anne Francis). Even though he was mostly a character actor, yes his omission was a sizeable oversight (IMHO).

Am I the only one that video won't work for?

Goldie, evidently, the YouTube user who had posted the In Memoriam deleted their account. I edited the opening post in this thread to include the video from The Hollywood Reporter.
In doing so, I noticed news stories that said that "Barney Miller"/"Fish" actor Abe Vigoda was also missing from the tribute.
