March 23, 2015: Gary Dahl, the creator of the Pet Rock, died at the age of 78. Dahl began his career as an advertising copywriter, before inventing the short lived pet sensation that would eventually make him a millionaire. In 1975, Dahl dreamed up the Pet Rock after hearing friends complain about taking care of their live animals. The rocks sold for $4 each and became an instant sensation. They were discontinued in 1976, but by then, Dahl had already made millions.
Dahl also wrote the book Advertising for Dummies and designed and built the Carry Nations Saloon in Los Gatos, California.
That's Carol Doda on #3, the first topless dancer in the world.
Passed away on November 9th, 2015.
