8. Anne Meara

To many youngsters, Anne Meara is simply known as Ben Stiller’s mom, but the famous actor is only as talented as he is because he came from good stock. Meara and husband Jerry Stiller have been on the cutting edge of comedy since the mid-fifties. Pulling improvised material based on their real lives, the hilarious duo were staples of the comedy scene until the late seventies. Meara died of natural causes at her home in Manhattan on May 23.
