I Have. I cried when Mexican game show host and comedian Paco Staley died 7 yrs ago. I also cried when Mexican comedian Mario Moreno Cantinflas died. I thought I was going to cry when Pope John Paul died two years ago but no. I guess I didn't because we were able to see how he suffered on TV and it was his time to go in peace. as a good actor he know how to live his life in front of the cameras and relate to his audience. Perhaps thats why we feel so attached to celebrities and public figures at times not only because they live their lives and share their talents with us, but because they remind us of times in our lives.

Like the phrase where were you when Kennedy got shot? When John Leonon died?

    I generally don't cry when I hear about someone dying.  I guess it's shock.  I have cried later, after I've processed the loss.
     
    I cried when Reagan died and when Nancy threw herself on his coffin at the final service.  It still makes me weepy to see such strong love lost.

    I almost cried when princess Diana died when I saw the look on her children's faces behind her coffin and when regan died I felt sorry for Nancy because she adored him she was so use to taking care of him

    i cried when i heard about John Kennedy Jr. and also Princess Di.
    Both of these people should have led fairytale lives, and their untimely demise was very sad to me.

    No, I don't think I have. Shock and sadness, yes. Tears, no.

    Sorry.

    It was very hard to watch the tribute to Steve Irwin. So full of life and to be ended way to short. It really gets to ya.

    I'm with Genalonewolf, I watched the tribute to Steve Irwin the other night and it just touched me so deeply that I did shed a couple of tears.

    Tania.......no that i recall......i have been very upset by the stupidity of John John Kennedy's death, when Freddie Mercury died for Aids, i got very upset when rumors started to spread about the death of Ted Neely the actor-singer who was Jesus in JCS (i was young and so in love with him..lol...btw, he is well and alive...)...yes, i remember being very disturbed by John Lennon's murderer...

    Like Secret, I was moved to tears watching the end of President Reagan's funeral. No question she was absolutely devoted to him.

    I was only 13 but I cried when Bobby Kennedy died.

    I also got emotional when John Lennon and George Harrison died.

    about Steve Irwin he was always very daring so I was always afraid something would happen. It was so odd to me because I had just seen him on Conan Obrien on a rerun a  day he took a boa to the studio, and Conan was a little worried and upset that the animal would get out of control

    Princess Di and Linda McCartney.  I don't know why.  Steve Irwin got to me too.  I was very affected when John Lennon died.  I heard an English voice in my head about it, telling me he was okay, BEFORE the radio announced that he was shot dead.  Like I was getting a message that he was okay in Heaven.  I never got an English voice in my head at any other time.  Sounds weird but what can you do, I remember it.

Celebrities are some of the most pampered people in the world. Beautiful celebrities and superslim models are everywhere we look, on billboards, TV shows and catwalks, promoting the idea that beautiful is best....
