A Different World: Every Cast Member Who Has Died In Real Life

There are several members of the A Different Worldcast who have died — and the actors who have passed away after appearing on the NBC sitcom prove how high the caliber of talent in the show truly was. Airing between 1987 and 1993, A Different World was a spin-off of The Cosby Show that went on to gain a solid following in its own right. Jasmine Guy led the cast as Whitley Gilbert-Wayne, and the show followed her life at the fictional Hillman College. With the series being rebooted on Netflix with a whole new generation, the original cast of A Different World is in the spotlight.
