Chris Farley. He was awesome on SNL, just getting started with the movies, then...gone. I was surprised at how struck I was when I heard, probably because I was really digging his comedy at the time. Same with Phil Hartman, but the way he went, that one just got me angry.
I felt a tinge of sadness when Aaliyah, B.I.G., McDuffie and Whitney Houston passed. Tupac notsomuch. I was a fan, but his death seemed inevitable due to his lifestyle.
Usually though, other people's sadness confuses me - especially when it's older, retired celebrities like Andy Griffith or that guy from Welcome Back Cotter. Much of the Michael Jackson "love" seemed disingenuous, since he was so ridiculed before he died.
He wasn't really a celebrity, per se, but finding out this morning that Tony Scott took his own life has had an interesting effect on my day so far. It has really bummed me out. He was one of my favorite film directors.
I'll just never understand how someone who is that successful would want to end it all. Plus he was 68, so it's not like he had a bounty of years left on his ticket anyway. I guess I'll have to wait to find out more of what went down.
It's just really sad.

Reports are saying he has inoperable brain cancerOriginally Posted by Popninja
I had a thought that it may have been something like that. Again, it's really sad.

for me...dimebag darrell...remember ditching school and staying home trying to figure out his solos, it was very surreal to hear that he had been murdered and that whole mess that happened.
chris benoit too...no lie, his death gave me some bad dreams and haunted me a bit..
That one rattled me a bit too, but more for what he did to his family than his actual suicide. Actually, when I think about it, a lot of wrestler deaths have kind of messed me up for a day or more. Miss Elizabeth, Eddie Guerrero, and of course Owen Hart, among others, really had me in a funk when they happened.

Michael Clarke Duncan... Now this one caught me off guard. I wasn't even aware that he was ill. I'll really miss him and the potential roles he could have played. I was really hoping he'd play a gorilla in the next Apes movie. He made a terrific gorilla in the 2001 film with that awesome voice!
R.I.P indeed!
