Which celebrity deaths genuinely made you sad?

[luckyjimm]

Kurt Cobain, sure - I was 16 and they were the backdrop to my growing up. Also John Peel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peel

Recently, very upset by the death of investigative journalist Anna Politskaya http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Politkovskaya

Kind of sad about the death of Ronnie Barker

but of course when someone dies of old age at the end of a full life having met their potential, it's not as sad as someone cut down in their prime or unfulfilled.

I'm pretty emotion-less, but those really got me.

I still remember how sad my dad was the day Bob Marley died.

For me, I don;t really remember the day John Lennon was killed, but it still bothers me today.

I was only 5 years old when Lennon died but I will never forget how it affected my dad. It was the first time I ever saw him really sad or even really stunned at something.

This would definitely be #1 for tons of people who are in their 50s and 60s now.

Rodney Dangerfield.

[Mondogarage]

Phil Hartman

Davey Allison

Alan Kulwicki

John Belushi

Somehow, I'm never really sad, per se, when a celebrity who has lived a long, full life has died. Guys like Reagan, and Altman...their times were just up.
