Which Death Affected U Most?
Which celebrity death affected you most in 2010? Elizabeth Edwards? Teena Marie? Jean Simmons? Tony Curtis (pictured)? Dennis Hopper? Alexander McQueen? Lena Horne? Lynn Redgrave? Blake Edwards? Dixie Carter? Captain Beefheart? Malcolm McLaren? Barbara Billingsley? Jill Clayburgh? Leslie Nielsen? J.D. Salinger? Joan Sutherland? Or Gary Coleman? My choice after the jump.
It’s a tie: Golden Girl Rue McLanahan (pictured) and “Hud” Oscar winner and all-around class act Patricia Neal.
James McArthur’s death affected me the most. As a teenager, I had a big crush and he was the reason I watched the original “Hawaii Five-O”. When you grow up watching a celebrity and they pass at an older age, you suddenly feel your own mortality and part of you youth is gone.
