Umm... yeeeeeeahhhh, that's what I was going for.
(Actually, I just meant that all three were redheads... but that answer was so inspired I've got to give it to Kent.)

Bo Diddley if famous for the Bo Diddley beat Jack Kerouac is the most famous of the Beat poets. Gregory Hines, not sure, maybe the beat of his tap dancing

the male part wasn't an intentional commonality.
the dead part is an incomplete but vital part of the actual commonality I am looking for.

Still not getting it. After a bit of cheating (aka "research"), I find that Bo and Jack both died in Florida, while Greg died in California. There's two thirds of a set. Here's another -- Messieurs Kerouac and Hines both died from liver related malfunctions (cirrhosis and cancer, respectively), while Mr Diddley gave it up after a stroke and heart attack.
Another clue please?

the commonality in question has nothing to do with any action that took place by them, during their lifetimes or in relation to how they died. It involves a certain type of action taken by others.

Okeh, all were awarded posthumous college degrees, which, of course, are awarded only to the dead.

I was going to guess that they were all sit-com Moms, (thinking that maybe Harriet Lane was the mother on the Patty Duke Show perhaps) but after I looked her up, I saw that I was wrong.
So I'll make another guess based on that brief bit of research...
