Sometimes it seems like it. Look at poor David Carradine, and how he will now be remembered for how he died. It seems it works better if you die young and at the top of your game. Then you gain a legendary status and will always be remembered how you were when you died. Instead of going on to become old where real life issues take away the mystique.
