Zsa Zsa Gabor. Mainly because I thought she was dead for years before she actually died. Even now I'd have to check.

Still sad about Heath Ledger. What a waste of talent

Binkytheslug · 11/06/2019 20:21

Warren Clark- I always thought he’d have made the best Mr Dursley.
Prince
George Michael
David Bowie
Rik Mayall
thought these would all go on forever.

Didn’t know Glenn Frey had died. Do you think they played ‘The Heat is On’ when he was cremated?

Binkytheslug · 11/06/2019 20:22

I watched Heath Ledger as the Joker the other day- do hard to believe such a talent snuffed out.

BettyUnderswoob · 11/06/2019 21:12

I didn’t know Warren Clark was dead!

BearRabbitPants · 11/06/2019 21:30

@Beldon DH was watching Piers Morgan and Micheal Barrymore was on there and we could have sworn he was dead !! We googled his wiki page and everything !!Blush

BearRabbitPants · 11/06/2019 21:33

poorbuthappy · 11/06/2019 21:45

I always think Patrick swayze recovered. And shouted to dh that Roger Moore was dead and he replied yes a few years ago. 😳

Heath Ledger

MarchionessOfCholmondeley · 11/06/2019 22:11

Mo Mowlam
Robin Cook

I made the mistake of googling the death of Stephen Gately when a Hermes delivery driver mentioned it on my doorstep. Google took me to the daily mail comments section for the first time in my life. Shock at the vileness, intolerance and hatred towards a young man cut down in his prime.

HollowTalk · 11/06/2019 22:19

As soon as I saw this thread I knew that people would be thought to have died when they were still alive!

lilpumpsmum · 11/06/2019 22:24

Pete Burns???????

Dale Winton is one I forgot

TheDarkPassenger · 11/06/2019 22:50

Someone the other day told me Sylvester stallone has died and I was thinking yeah I know he died ages ago.

Well I googled him and he isn’t even dead. Not the other day not the other year!!

Graphista · 12/06/2019 09:21

Oh for crying out loud, didn't know about warren Clark either!

VapeVamp12 · 12/06/2019 09:31

Brittany Murphy and Rik Mayall

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 12/06/2019 11:20

I Always forget Warren Clark- he would've been an amazing Mr Dursley! Richard Griffiths is dead too Sad.

Which Von Trapps are dead? I know Charmian Carr (Liesl) died, but thought it was just her?

Buddyelf · 12/06/2019 11:30

Emma Chambers died? Oh that's made me so sad, she was brilliant in Vicar of Dibley

AnneOfCleavage · 12/06/2019 11:36

Natasha Richardson Sad

DD loves watching The Parent Trap and it always saddens me that she died so prematurely. DD asks me every time if she's the lady who died as she's so similar looking to her sister Joely. Every time I watch Love Actually I think how poignant it is that Liam Neeson's characters wife died and he had to carry her coffin - obv I know Natasha hadn't died at that point but if Liam watches it it must strike a chord.

Eva Cassidy - DD is into her songs as sings a few of them and I get a pang when I remember she died so young.

Leiasbuns · 12/06/2019 12:42

I was watching the original Mary Poppins with the kids last night and one of them said ‘those kids must be really old now’ (as in Jane and Michael). So I said yes, lets see if I can find adult photos of them on google. Found one of grown up Jane... searched for ‘Michael’ and apparently he died in the 70’s when he was 21!

I know that’s not the same but I just thought that was so sad that we always watch that movie and had no idea that he died so young Sad

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 12/06/2019 16:00

Alan Rickman... Probably the only person I cried over who I didn't know personally...

David Bowie

And the glorious Victoria W.

Those 3 had such a major impact on me
