  • I wasn't alive but the deaths that made me sad were Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. Their deaths made me sad after reading their stories. Aaliyah Houghton too! :(

    I don't think I've ever been 'upset' by a celeb's death. Shocked, definitely, sad, maybe.
    Those that went too young -
    Diana (although the outpouring of 'grief' afterwards was waaaay OTT).
    Amy W. (sad because so inevitable, and avoidable).
    Steve Irwin.
    Steve McQueen - I'm a bit too young, but I remember my Mum being shocked by his passing.
    Freddie M.
    Heath L. & River Phoenix.
    Bobby Robson & Roy Castle - my Dad was affected by these two - really nice guys too.
    Natasha Richardson - to die from falling over, now that was a shock, really sad.
    Michael Hutchence because of the way he died, and then Paula Yates - because she couldn't live without him. I felt so sorry for Bob Geldoff trying to pick up the pieces.

    Brittany Murphy I can't watch her comedies now cause its too sad.

    Also Aaliyah cause she was the same age as me and died when she was 21.

    John Lennon/ Jimi Hendrix/ Keith Moon / Amy Winehouse, most of them fairly predictable, but still heartbreaking, they had so much more they could have given us..

    The crew members on board the Challenger when it exploded. It was my first experience with someone "famous" dying.

    I just watched Anna Nicole on Lifetime, and I think that was sad.

    Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash! They were too cute together! I'm surprised she died before him....

    Heath Ledger...that really got to me for some reason. I'm a fan, sure...but it's the way in which he died and the fact that he was so young...his career was taking off and...it's just very tragic and sad to me.

    Aaliyah and LeftEye from TLC... The ODB... Easy E

    ETA: People that die from freak accidents/disease get me the most... People that die from overdose, not so much (not being dismissive, just kinda see it coming).

    Christopher Reeves becoming cripple was tragic and then he passed... so sad.

    Didn't read the whole thread so I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but Brittany Murphy's death was pretty tragic.

    Heath Ledger's death really bothered me for a while he was so young and talented, it was just heartbreaking.

    Fred Rogers (Mister Roger's Neighborhood)
    He was the most gentle, kind person on his show.
    When I was young, I always wondered what it would be like to really live in his neighborhood.

    You know those people that go to like, Olive Garden, and they've been there before and they were happy with it, and then one day a waiter was a little snippy and they stomp their feet and whine and cry and decide they're never going to another Olive Garden ever ever again, and they tell all their friends how horrible Olive Garden is because one time, the waiter was a little too snippy...? Yepp, that's what's going on here.

    olive garden is horrible. from its bad bread sticks and salad to its sub par pasta.

    lol. I like Olive Garden well enough. I can get better Italian food that's really italian elsewhere, but it's good when I don't have a huge budget.

    Are you ignoring the fact that they MAKE that food with TOP QUALITY microwaves and PRE-MADE, PROCESSED sauces? I have first-hand experience of this from my friend and I think you should know that MY homemade Italian food is so much better than that crap. All my friends and family say so in my hometown. Too bad I don't have a chain restaurant for my food...so much better than Olive Garden's cruelty to food and fraudulence.

    Do your research, people! Gawwwwlllll.

    Meh. I like it well enough as well. I don't care about the method of preparation as long as it tickles my taste buds appropriately. But then again, I'm not a food snob. If it tastes good and if it fits my caloric goals, I'll enjoy it.

    I wasn't being serious.

    Read the topic ;)

    Yeah I can honestly say that I'm not all broke up inside when a celebrity dies. Probably because I don't pay attention to them and I really don't care. *shrugs*

    Sure I thought Heath Ledger's death was sad but that's about as far as my thoughts over it went.
