Normandy.

Richie-the-L invaded Normandy (among other places).

A base named for GG-Custer was a major staging area in the US leading up to the Normandy invasions in WW2.

Seth Green voiced a character on a space ship called the Normandy in a video game called Mass Effect.

A guess "Beat" is the common theme.

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

Also all male and all dead, but those are probably trivial similarities.

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...

They are all related to US Presidents

Ah! I think the more accurate link is that all served as White House hostess for Presidents that did not have living wives while President.

Not quite specific enough, but it does relate to formerly being part of the British Empire.

While that is true, that's not it. There is something that these countries don't have that would be true of most other countries that were part of the old British Empire.

No.

Another hint, South Africa and Pakistan would have once qualified but this is no longer true of them.
