2013 Bonus Quiz

It’s only possible to include a few names in the grid (and I wrote the puzzle back in August).  Have a go at solving these clues too, for some other people who died during 2013.  All the clues lack a definition, though in some of them the wording could provide a hint.  In addition, after blocks of around 5 clues I’ve provided an anagram comprising all of the first names of that group.  Radler
