Better known for his roles in shows like 'Saturday Night Live', 'NewsRadio', and 'The Simpsons', Phil was one of the much-loved stars of his times.
The news of his death in 1998 came as a shock to the whole world. He was shot dead, at the age of 50, by his third wife, Brynn Hartman, following her struggle with drug addiction. Reportedly, Brynn was high on cocaine on the night she shot Phil and later committed suicide, within hours.
The couple was survived by their two daughters - a son and a daughter. (ANI)
