    I was just going to post about Marco Simoncelli myself.
    That was pretty sad seeing that.

    Richard Harris (Dumbledore), Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley), Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) and most recently, John Hurt (Olivander). They were all staples in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which was easily my favourite movie growing up.

    Carrie Fisher.

    Terry Pratchett. He was a satirical genius. I'm quite sad I won't get to read a new Discworld novel but I look forward to reading them all to my son. I hope he will learn some valuable life lessons from them like I did.

    What's a good Pratchett book to begin with?

    Son is 12.

    I know that now. I thought it was Ilsa Fisher all this time and I was heartbroken but since finding out it was Carrie I'm devastated. What happened?

    Bill Paxton's wikipedia page is saying that he has died - complications from surgery apparently at the young age of 61. Hopefully fake but some major new outlets have it.

    :(

    Heath Ledger and Caroline Ahern

    I've just seen the news that Bill Paxton is dead. Always liked him in Aliens, amongst other things. R.I.P.

    Agreed.Absolute legend.I was genuinely sad when Cecil Bustamente AKA Prince Buster died,The grandaddy of ska music.Also Robin Williams,I was never a fan but the circumstances of his death upset me,one of the rare examples of the old adage 'money won't bring you happiness'.Tragic.

    Robin Williams, Alan Rickman and Terry Wogan's deaths all had an impact for me as some of my favourite stars from my childhood.

    The deaths of Tito Vilanova and Adam Yauch were also very upsetting for me but in a different way. Both died from cancers in the parotid gland which is something that I had myself as a teenager. Their deaths made me realise both how serious it could have been and how lucky I was. I had never really realised that dying was an actual possibility before then.

    Alan Rickman hit me hard. I still get teary watching his movies. Same with Robin Williams

    I never really feel anything when I hear of celebrity deaths. Normally I just kind of go ahhh no and move on but I really liked Bill Paxton for some reason so I feel a bit sad over it. He made some great appearances in movies I like

    Lady Diana (:() and Robin Williams (:eek:)

    Miley Cryus, to get knifed while out shopping was horrific. Shanked to death by a fan

    James Avery. I loved Fresh Prince of Bel Air growing up and I was absolutely gutted when I heard Uncle Phil had died.

    I thought Carrie Fisher dying so(relatively) young was very sad and with her mother dying the day after due to stress, just thinking about how tragic it must have all been for the remaining Fisher family
