Many famous people have died from lung cancer. This isn’t surprising, since lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for both men and women in the United States.

This photo gallery is a tribute to some of these famous people with lung cancer -- people who have touched our lives with their voices, talents, and philanthropic efforts over the years.
