Some luminous stars undoubtedly explode as supernovae, but it is not yet certain that fate awaits them all. The connection between luminous stars and supernovae is reviewed in terms of the statistical rates of supernovae and pulsars, the constraints of nucleosynthesis, and the various classifications of supernovae by their spectra and light curves, including a newly confirmed class of peculiar Type I supernovae.
