Getty’s longtime manager, Alan Siegel, said on Tuesday: “As of 5:35 this morning, surrounded by her family in her Hollywood Hills home, Estelle Getty passed away peacefully in her sleep of natural causes. Her family and close friends thank everyone for being so loving and supportive of Estelle in her last few years.”

Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died Saturday after a second battle with cancer. He was 53.

“The Snow family has lost a beloved husband and father. And America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character,” President Bush said Saturday in a statement. “It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day.”

Christina Applegate’s ex-boyfriend Lee Grivas, 26, was found dead from an apparent drug overdose in his Hollywood apartment on Tuesday.

“Grivas did have a history of drug abuse, and our investigator found a syringe at the scene,” said Lt. Fred Corral of the L.A. Department of Coroner. “But we’re not making any preliminary conclusions until a toxicology report is completed.”
