Philip Seymour Hoffman and Other Celebrity Deaths
I was really sad to hear the news about Philip Seymour Hoffman. He was a great actor and it just reminded me of how substance abuse is rampant among the wealthy just as much (if not more than) as the poor. My step-brother is actually truly upset - he was his favorite actor and he met him a bunch of times.
It made me think of how sad I was when Patrick Swayze died. I had been bummed about a couple celebrity deaths but Patrick's really gutted me for some reason. I still get sad when I watch Dirty Dancing and think about how full of vitality then and now he just ceases to exists. Boggles my mind.
Are there any celebrity deaths, long ago or recent, that affected you more than others?
