   Not really. What is an advance obituary other than a biographical sketch   
   emphasizing the highlights of a public figure's life and impact on   
   society or popular culture? Any news organization that has a file on an   
   entertainer wold have such a piece prepared already. If it's not used as   
   an obit, they can pull it out for a quick feature.
