Older famous people you dread passing on

[Jurv]

it all depends on how much you idolise them and how much of a role they've played in your life charlz

i probably wouldn't full on cry if the people i mentioned died, i'd just be REALLY sad and feel crap

you can still feel sad without shedding a tear!

Yeah I spose. I'd be sad if the Queen went. particularly right now because I want her to beat victoria so badly omfg

I'll be sad when David Jason dies, that's the main one.

When Maggie Smith dies I'll be fairly upset.

The thing is a lot of the people who I idolise I don't even realise are still alive, and I only notice when the BBC app tells me they're alive! That was the case for Doris Lessing and Maya Angelou anyway.

I won't be able to cope when Maggie Smith passes, luckily she's only actually 79 and still got a fair few years left in her I think!

I can't really think of many of the top of my head, I'm far more upset when those who are younger are taken away to be honest, Robin Williams for instance. When Schumacher went into his coma I was very upset too!

[Lewis]

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. They're both great actors.

[Kardan]

There was a thread on Reddit about this, and everyone was listing all these celebrities, and each one I was like 'meh', but the only one that actually made me feel bad at the thought of them dying was JK Rowling. I know she's not old in the slightest, but that would be tough for me.

[Empousa]

Agreed with Kardan... but the one I dread the most? The only living Golden Girl to date, Betty White. She's still doing an AMAZING job though! It'll be devastating!

[Alkaz]

Can't think of that many, but definitely The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will be a momentous. I also agree with Laura and Maggie Smith, she always seems to play a similar ''old'' character, even going back 20 years she seemed really old, so I've never really had a proper grasp on her age, she's always just been there. So yeah, it will be sad when she dies, she's been in some of the greatest films and TV series.

[Sharon]

i don't care for any... as long as the kardashians are alive

[The Don]

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. They're both great actors.

I'm pretty sure Morgan Freeman is immortal.

I can't really think of any off the top of my head that would upset me. I think the more surprising ones have more of an impact on me, such as younger celebrities where you don't really expect it.
