Have you been personally effected by the death on someone famous?

I am sad about Heath, but it’s more of a feeling of disappointment than anything else. But when River Phoenix died, I cried. He really effected my youth, and a whole generation; I became a vegetarian because of him. Whenever I think about him I still feel a twinge of sadness.

I know that we really do not know these people, but they are such a huge part of our lives. Has a famous person’s death ever effected you? To what extent?
