Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at the age of 28 on Tuesday. Which celebrity death in your lifetime has affected you the most?
Affected is probably too strong a word but I was moved by the tragic circumstances of River Phoenix's death. I'd been a fan of his since watching Stand By Me.
I saw the film This Boy's Life recently with Robert De Niro and a young Leonardo diCaprio who reminded me a lot of Phoenix. The film came out the same year Phoenix died and diCaprio was four years younger. I wonder who of the two would have had the bigger career had he not died when he did? And would his brother Joaquin Phoenix have risen to such stardom?
