This HAS been a depressing year. I'm afraid to guess who's about to go...:eek: :( :faint:

I agree

That's a lot of celebrities who died! What's with all the 50 somethings that died? I know many people in their 50s and I hope they live a long time! 2003 was a crappy year. Even though I graduated and I'm glad to be out of school, it is still a bad year. The weather was horrible, apparently many people died, life sucks for me..blah,blah. I know the person who lives in Johnny Paycheck's old house and he says it's haunted. My boyfriend goes there all of the time and the house scares him.

Very depressing. I wonder who will die next. I hope its not someone i like.

That is very depressing, WOWA soooo many people died this year :(

Wow!:eek: Talk about a depressing year!

Soon this year will be over and 2004 will be better I just know it!!!

The Emmys will be sad when they do the tribute to all the people who died this year.

Sad year for celebrity deaths. So many people I like have died, I also lost four of my pets this year. :(

My cousin died of an overdose in March. He was only 22 and was bi polar. :(

I agree.

2003 wasn't such a bad year for me...granted, I hated senior year and I finally graduated ( :clap: ), but I did get to meet Vicki Lawrence in person. THAT alone made my YEAR. :D

I would say 2001 was the worst year, tho, because of Sept 11th. :crying:

I miss John Ritter so much. :(

Other then death...this has been a pretty happy year for me compared to most.

It has been a bad year for celebrity deaths...I just can't believe John Ritter would ever be one of them. :(

Wow, this IS a depressing year for all of those famous people that died.

I will miss John Ritter the most followed by Bob Hope.

A bad year for celebrities.

Buddy Ebsen died?!?!!? Im sure it was posted and I replied, but meangya.. why dont I remember?! :( Well, Im glad he lived to 95.:)

John Ritter is my 'celebrity death' so far. Everyone's got a celebrity death that when they died they were really affected by it. My moms is Lucille Ball. Watching the John Ritter tribute on TVLand just kills me. But, everything does happen for a reason and 2004 will be a year of good!

This has been a really depressing year. Like others have said, Im afraid to hear who is going to go next.

I miss John Ritter,I still cant believe he is gone.:(

We also lost Professional Wrestling Legend "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig. I Took that one pretty hard.

Geez, I didn't realize all those celebs died, but they are all in a better place now. I really will miss John Ritter, John & June Carter Cash.

my celeb death was Kate... I took her death pretty hard... :(.

I love Desk Set!! Its not out on dvd yet I dont think. They should put Bringing up Baby on dvd.. since its one of her best comedies ever!

That was very good too. The one thing I disliked about it though was Kate's voice. It wasn't deep and raspy like it is in her other films. It was like she was trained to speak differently for that movie or something.

I never noticed that!! Do you like Adams Rib?? I love that movie too!! I need to get that on dvd. I have The Philadelphia Story on dvd too.. Kate was awesome!!

I didn't know Buddy Hackett died! :( Oh perfect :mad:

I remember telling my mom after Gregory Hines died that that was it - no one else is allowed to die this year, because I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!

German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl went too this year - she was 101.

A lot of actresses at the time were taught to speak deeply - Kate Hepburn, Gene Tierney, and Lauren Bacall. Don't ask me why, couldn't tell ya ;) I love the Philadelphia Story! High Society was great too - I remember thinking how strange it was that the star of the remake (Grace Kelly) was gone before the star of the original. Now, sadly, they're both gone :( BTW, Kate Hepburn's best movie was Bringing Up Baby :)

Celia Cruz also died this year. She was the Queen of Salsa. She was only 77 or sumthin like that.

Oh gosh I love High Society too!!! When I first saw it i wasnt really paying attention..a nd then i got all confused, i was like wait... this is the philadelphia story where is Kate? LOL. I had a bonehead moment!!! ;). Grace was amazing too! And I agree about Bub.. I love it when Kate says "There is a leopard on your roof, and I have to get it, and in order to get it I have to sing!". And I also love the scene where her dress rips . I die laughing!!

Well I don't know about Tierney or Bacall but Kate Hepburns voice was naturally deep but for some reason in Bringing up Baby her voice was higher and more feminine. I remember reading somewhere that she had a voice coach teach her to speak like that. I guess the people in the movie industry didn't care for her naturally deep voice. In those days women were supposed to look and speak very feminine. It was right after Bringing up Baby came out that she was labeled as "Box Office Poison". today that movie is considered a classic.

So many bad things have happened this year. I think that 2004 will be a better year. I started this year thinking that this would be a bad year. I wasn't wrong. And I thought 1997 was bad! Actually it was. A family member of mine died, Mother Theresa died, and Princess Diana died.

This has been a horrible year, as far as death. My grandpa died this year too....so many people.

Sheb Wooley, who sang Purple People Eater died yestrday at 82
