ok enough is enough no more people die this month that are in the public eye

I think we have had enough already.

Understand one thing.......

The MEDIA/ENTERTAINMENT field as grown TREMENDOUSLY LARGER in the past 30 years because of the internet/cable tv/satelite TV/etc., etc and so just by pure numbers there is a a much greater percentage of individuals in the publics eye.

Anyway, just something to take into consideration now and in the years ahead.

She once said, "Now that I'm over sixty, I'm veering toward respectability." She finally crashed right into it. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, 'Sans Serif'][SIZE=+1]Chris Penn (01/24)
Is it irony that he died accidentally at 40, and that his last role was in a film called The Darwin Awards? We're just asking.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, 'Sans Serif'][SIZE=+1]Wendy Wasserstein (01/30)
An uncommon woman, to be sure. Nonetheless, she's toast.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, 'Sans Serif'][SIZE=+1]Coretta Scott King (01/30)
Aside from being an icon of the Civil Rights movement, she's also the only person on this page who was not, at one time or another, romantically linked to Shelley Winters.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, 'Sans Serif'][SIZE=+1]Al Lewis (02/03)

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, 'Sans Serif'][SIZE=+1]Kirby Puckett (03/06)
That's just Kirby being Kirby.[/SIZE][/FONT]

WOW that sure looks like a long list. I guess the next question is WHO is NEXT?

Dana Reeves Christopher reeves wife died of Lung Cancer now

I could care less when famous people die, I hate to sound like a bastard but normal people die all the time its a part of life if I dont know them then I dont really care I'm not gonna fell sad for someone I dont know. There is one famous person when they died I felt kind of sad is when Dale Earnhardt died

Agree completely-except for Dale- who cares?

As a sports and entertainment journalist and interviewer I will say two things.

Number one these entertainers touch certian individuals in certain ways and have helped make othes lives enjoyable.

When I worked in the world of professional wrestling the first person that died I ever interviewed was Classy Freddie Blassie, but he was 85 years old. It was exactly one month before he died and I was his last public interview on record. Truthfully I am still not over it 100 percent.

Ceritan people touch certian individuals. Whether it be Kirby Puckett or Dana Reeve's. The fact that she stood by her husband after he was paralyzed shows what kind of woman she was. I think any of us that have a significant other would want the same if any of us got paralyzed.

Normal people die ever day and their closest friends and family will always remember them. The media just ads to those who touch thousands and millions of people's lives every day. That's what makes them what they are besides their individual talents.

Being only 20 I have seen a lot, but when someone dies that you worked with it does hit home.

Frankly 80 year olds passing is quite normal, it's the 40 year olds you don't expect.
