[lindapinda]

Where you ever really affected by the death of someone famous?..For me,it was Pete Duel..all the oldies on here will remember him...eh Dot?

[lindapinda]

*were*

The assassination of Rabin really affected me a lot. But not because he was famous, just because of the circumstances and implications.

As for pete Duel, he brought me together with 3 people who are now very close friends, so I owe him for that :)

[ummmm]

I actually got really upset when John Denver died....

I got a lump in my throat watching Princess Di`s funeral when her brother did his speech

[RATTER15]

Princess Di for me, I was doing a job for this guy who was so distressed he didnt pay me for a week!!!

I confess I did not know who Pete Duel was. The lead photo of him on IMDB looks rather like Richard Hammond. Am I alone in this discovery?

[wild-bill]

you've just opened my eyes ummmm
didn't realize John Denver had died
good call curlyfilm
runs shivers

[RATTER15]

I didnt know who Pete Duel was until I googled images, everybody in the world knows that face, I just didnt know his name!!! So he's dead is he? Hell!!!

[dot.hawkes]

wardy i am ashamed of u


Pete Duel walked this earth for too short a time eh Linda, but even though he passed in 1971 i can safely say there is not a single day goes by that he is not brought to mind, and answerbank has increased that so much.

[wild-bill]

[wild-bill]

hello Edward lmao

[dot.hawkes]

ratter he died when i was 16 lol and i am 52 this year , where you been mate

[RATTER15]

Oh!!!

[snagged]

Not in the same league as others mentioned here... but I was suprised how much Kurt Cobain's death got to me... I was really into them in the early 90's... groundbreaking... and suddenly realised there'd be no more Nirvana...

[dot.hawkes]

no bill he was not shot, he was the victim of celebrity, he was the victim of stardom, he messed up and it went wrong.

[wild-bill]

come on dot
shame the Devil

[Joe_the_Lion]

As soon as I saw his face dotty, I recognised him. Only from Alias Smith and Jones, I hasten to add.

Guess the similarities with Richard Hammond are only in my head then. Nevermind.

[RATTER15]

No one tells me nothing!!

[wild-bill]

bit like that emu bloke who fell off the chimny then?
