Question ID: 742628
I would like a list of celebrities and/or notables in history who have
died as a result of battling breast cancer (even if it was complicated
by simultaneously fighting another disease).  I would even take as
listings,  famous relatives who have family members who died of breast
cancer listed. I am looking for as many as can reasonably be found,
but would revel at a list of 100.  It is important that I have the
deceased's first and last name and date of birth and death.  A tip is
guaranteed if you can include on some of them the year they contracted
the disease.
