It is true that we grow attachments to certain celebrities like they were our very own and their deaths can leave us shaken and have an everlasting impact on us. Without even realizing it, our hearts mourn for them and we’re left with nothing but good memories of them.
Every year we lose some of the biggest stars in our industry, but we never learn to get over the shock. Whether you idealize certain politicians, musicians, or actors, all leave the same hollowness when they depart. The connection is lost forever no matter how much we wish we could pick up a Spectrum mobile and contact them, it’s just not possible. This year we lost some of the greatest stars this industry produced.
