This new "Urban Anthropology" pattern from Greenhouse has sparked a lot of debate in my shop. There are 42 different faces. All were famous people who died young.

I've identified JFK, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Elvis, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Bob Marley. I'm not sure about the rest. Is that Princess Diana just to the right of John Lennon?
And John Belushi right below Elvis?
I think that is Princess Di. Top row, first picture on the left looks like "Mama Cass" Elliot. Directly to her right looks like Clark Gable. Below her and one to the right in the hoodie - is that Tupac Shakur? I think John Belushi is directly below Marilyn.

I think you're right about Mama Cass, and Tupac. But I'm not seeing Clark Gable. And I'm surprised that I don't see anyone that looks like MLK to me.
Is that Karen Carpenter right below Mama Cass?
My customer guesses have been all over the place. One lady insisted that the one diagonnaly above James Dean is Lucielle Ball. I tried to explain to her that the prevailing theme seems to be "people who died young".
I see Ann Frank---just above Elvis
and
Patsy Cline 2nd row, 4th from the left
Carol Lombard
James Dean
Grace Kelly
Freddy Mercury
can't remember the name of the man next to Jim Morrison--------A civil rights activist
Is that MLK just above Ann Frank?
Hard to tell. Is there a way to enlarge the picture?

Malcom X?
I think you nailed Patsy Cline. Which one are you saying is Carol lombard?
Carol Lombard
2nd from the bottom, 3rd from the right
Figured out some others
Kurt Cobain
River Phoenix
Che Guevara
Eva Peron
Heath Ledger
and
one might be Bobby Darrin----not sure about that one
OK starting from Mama Cass in the upper left corner (going right until she repeats) number them. 1 thru 42. Give me your answers please. ???
BTW lamx: Clark Gable lived more than 20 years after informing Scarlett that he didn't give a damn. So he really doesn't fit the criteria. ;)
I see Jimi Hendrix in the mix. By the way, what's the cutoff date for dying young? I'm thinking Elvis was about 42 when he died. Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin were all about 27 when they died.

I've got this fabric that has a 6 dead people vertical repeat and a 7 dead people horizontal repeat. I'm thinking maybe using a blood red fabric for my contrast welt. What do you think?
Luciano Pavarotti 5 over and 6 down
Marilyn Monroe 4 over 5 down
James Dean 4 over and 3 down he even has a cigarette in his mouth
David Berkowitz 4 over and 6 down
Janis Joplin could be 4 over and 2 down.
When we get this all figured out, he's the next one:
Can you name the famous virus?

3 over and 5 down is Botulism
2 over and 1 down is syphilis.
I think 4 over and 4 down is typhoid, but I'm not sure.

Luciano Pavarotti 5 over and 6 down
If that indeed is Pavarotti, then that blows my theory of "Famous people who died YOUNG" out of the water.
Elvis and JFK appear to be the most senior of citizens in this pattern.
That's not Pavaratti, that's MLK
Here's the image it was taken from
If you look up MLK in Google, then look at images, that image is there

2nd row, 3rd from the right
2 over and 5 down: is that the image on the shroud of Torin?
There was something special about Pavarotti. Even if you don't like opera, like I don't, I still was amazed with his singing, as I am with Andre Bucheli.
2 over and 4 down could be Malcolm X

You may be right about MLK. Good find.
He was 39 when he was killed. I wonder what sofadoc considers 'young'?
I'm surprised Sam Kineson isn't on there.
I wonder what they had to do, and how much it cost, to be able to use all those images. That fabric only sells for $20 a yard.
5 over and 5 down looks like a girl I used to date. I think she's still alive. And I think she never became famous. I'm sure that if she did she would have called me to rub it in.

Did everyone else's screen go extra wide after Joy posted that long link?
Gene: I turned 54 the other day. I consider anyone below that age to be young. ;)
BTW where did you see 20 bucks a yard?
Just to marylns right is that Gilda Radner ?

Just to marylns right is that Gilda Radner ?
It very well could be.
So here's what I got so far:
Row 1 (L to R) Mama Cass, ?, ?, Kurt Cobain, Anne Frank, RFK (Maybe), ?
Row 2 Karen Carpenter, Tupac Shakur, Patsy Cline, Janis Joplin, Elvis, John Lennon, Princess Di
Row 3 ?, ?, ?, James Dean, ?, Jimmi Hendrix, Carol Lombard
Row 4 Jim Morrison, Malcom X, ?, ?, ?, Grace Kelley, River Phoenix(Right?)
Row 5 ?,?,?, Marilyn Monroe, Gilda Radner, ?,?
Row 6 JFK, ?,?,?, MLK, ?,?
Which ones are Freddy Mercury, and Heath Ledger?
My take
Mama Cass, ?, Freddy Mercury, Kurt Cobain, Anne Frank, River Phoenix, ?
Karen Carpenter, Tupac, Patsy Cline, Janis Joplin, Elvis, John Lennon, Princess Diana
Jimmi Hendrix, Grace Kelly, ?, James Dean, John Belusha, Bob Marley, Carol Lombard
Jim Morrison, Malcom X, ?, ?, Che Guevera, Eva Peron,?
?, Heath Ledger, ?, Marilyn Monroe, ?, ?, ?
JFK,?, James Dean, ?, MLK, ?,Charley Parker
There is another Civil Rights activist in there, and another Rapper, but don't know them
I would have expected to find any of these
Jean Harlow
Rudolph Valentino
Nat King Cole
Gilda Radner
Tyrone Power
Steve McQueen
Medgar Evars
Emmet Till
Robert Kennedy
But not there
Is the one above Charley Parker Brandon Lee?
sofadoc, I did a google search with the name and number of the fabric in quotes and found several places selling it for around $20 per yard.
Interesting factoid: When Charlie Parker died he fell onto the floor of his apartment. When his body was found, his body was on it's side and his hands were in the position of holding a sax, even though he did not have his sax.
