How Do Famous People Die

[Agent 0 Zero]

Famous people really have nack for dieing, and I was wondering is there a death of a famous person that moved you or made you feel very sad.

[allthatglitters]

Well I assume they die much like everybody else, although there's a conspiracy going 'round that Elvis's death was a publicity stunt. :rolleyes:

[Godsend]

Famous people really have nack for dieing

So do humans

None to be honest, but I'm sure when Al Pacino goes I'll be there...along with some wrestlers

You know what's even more sad? Thinking someone dead when they're still alive. You know, like, let's say RICHARD PRYOR for example.

And for cripe's sake, the correct spellings are D-Y-I-N-G and K-N-A-C-K.

No, not really.

I wouldnt say it "moved" me, in that sense, but you always hear those wacky stories about actors being killed on the set. :( Take Bruce Lee, then his son, and there are tons of other movie-set accident deaths.

I think the famous person death-nation shock syndrome often comes when you have massive public figures meet with terrible demises--say for instance, JFK, then Princess Diana, Kennedy, Jr., the singers Selena, Aaliyah, and finally Lisa "left-eye" Lopez.

I think the jerker is often that if the artist or person isnt killed by their own personal neglect (drugs, alcoholism, fast living, etc.), when their lives and contributions are cut short in swift fashion, it leaves an unprepared public reeling.

But cmon: Godsend is right. When your average your average person in the community dies in a fluke accident like that--it leaves someone reeling.

Lady Di's death actually made me cry a little. She was such a good person in life, with such a big heart. I really didn't know anything about Mother Theresa, so her death around the same time didn't bother me much.

Princess Di's death made me very sad but when I heard about Mother Teresa, I started balling like a baby…

When Kubrick died i was in mourning for a while.. watched all my Kubricks filsm a good 3 times each. And I also was in mourning when Chuck Shuldiner(Lead singer and Guitarist of the band Death) died. I played all my Death albums and my Mp3's

River Phoenix.
I think he'd have been our foremost actor today, had he lived.

[LordSlaytan]

River Phoenix.
I think he'd have been our foremost actor today, had he lived.Yeah, he woulda...

[HellboyUnleashed]

when Richard Harris Died i watcher harry potter films a few times and i watched the Count Of Monte Cristo a few times. such a loss. and then Gregory Peck died i was sad. i watched To Kill A Mockingbird a few times. that movie is great. Gregory Peck was the ultimate hero in that movie and when CBS did its top 50 heroes and villians he was the number 1 hero for that movie. he was a great actor and did a great job in that movie

Think Jim Belushi, then John Candy, then Chris Farley....they were all doing so well. I wouldnt say that John Candy was at the height of his career like Chris and maybe Jim, but I really liked the guy.

John Ritter's death surprised and disturbed me. He was on such a good comeback!

[LordSlaytan]

Jim Belushi is dead?!?!?!?

Actually, about two years ago I did the same thing. Their names are so similar.

[mack]

my bad! ;) I wanted to fit in. :D (er...not..my mistake)

[HellboyUnleashed]

i miss john candy's humor. u remember Spaceballs? great movie. i will mourn his loss right now even though it happended a few years ago :sobbing: good bye barf :sobbing:

[gummo]

These are the deaths of famous people that really affected me..

Kurt Cobain...suicide at age 27
John Ritter...aortic dissection at age 54
Johnny Cash...complications from diabetes at age 71
River Phoenix...drug overdose at age 23

Is Christopher Lee dead? Because I coulda sworn he died recently...and I've been telling people he is infact dead, but now looking into it...I can't find any real mention of his death. Am I just retarded?

[Holden Pike]

Is Christopher Lee dead?...Am I just retarded?

In answer to the first question, NO.
In answer to the second question, probably.

[OG-]

Wow, now I can't even remember why I thought he was dead. I think around the time that I thought he may have died Fangoria was also running several tributes to his body of work, so I guess I just took those as post-portem tributes. Man I rule. Sorry Christopher Lee.

Walter Payton's death of bile duct cancer at the age of 45.

I'm not a Bears fan, but I couldn't believe this amazing athlete would die like this.

[nebbit]

I cried when Madeline Kahan and John Lennon died

John Writter was really sad for me, he was just so energetic, such a huge character, he was the whole show (10 rules for...), I can still see his smiling face. so sad.....sniff sniff

And also Ray Charles' death was pretty sad, his soulful piano playing and singing even though he was blind made him a bit like a hero. That bit it Blues Brothers when he sings a big song with them is one of my favourite movie moments (probably now moreso).

[susan]

danny kaye, jimmy stewart, johnny carson, jerry orbach, ray charles, bob hope, just to name a few...was very sorry to see these greats go...

[r3port3r66]

Johnny Carson for sure.

[Rjoepenk]

Frank Sinatra, Carl Wilson and Marlon Brando's passings were hard to bear. Also Dermot Morgan, who will be unknown to most American people but was in an Irish comedy sitcom called Father Ted, about a bunch of Irish catholic priests. His career had really taken a boost from the show and he died of a heart attack the day after the final episode was, at age 45.

[Tea Barking]

Yea that was sad :(

[LordSlaytan]

I was only twelve years old when John Lennon died, but it hit me really hard. He’s the only celebrity for whom I mourned, and still mourn to this day. I literally loved this man that I had never known. For all of his ***ked up ways, he was still an Angel that walked the Earth.

I already mentioned that, for some reason I still can’t define, Princess Di’s death affected me. It’s funny. I never pay attention to tabloid journalism, and have never been of the type to fall into the celebrity worship pool, but her death really mad me sad.

But most of all, the senseless murder of the distinguished Haing S. Ngor in 1996, literally made me feel like killing his murderers. He fought his way to freedom after being imprisoned and tortured by the Khmer Rouge, and ultimately made his way to America where he believed that he and his kin would be safe, and could finally have a good life. He was cast as Dith Pran in the spectacular film The Killing Fields in 1984, playing a role that mirrored his own life and experiences during the Vietnam war and his flight, and capture, through Cambodia. Just to be murdered in a robbery attempt in his very own garage at his home in L.A.

doG, that pisses me the **** off!
