Lynn Redgrave died. Don’t know if you heard, but she was the sister of Vanessa Redgrave. I bring up that news bite because it prompted today’s factoid.
To my knowledge, I have never cried at the death of a celebrity. I might at the sudden death of someone whose movies have entertained me over my life, but that has yet to happen so far.
The death of Heath Ledger shocked me but didn’t make me cry. To be fair, the only movie I had seen of his was “The Patriot” at the time.
The celebrity death that most saddened me would have to be Natasha Richardson, mainly because “The Parent Trap” was one of the biggest movies of my childhood. She just seemed like such a nice person, and she passed so tragically. (Ironically enough, Richardson’s aunt was Lynn Redgrave.)
