Celebrity death that bummed you out the most...

Again, sorry. I know Monster created a thread for public deaths that didn't score you points or bum you out but were worth a mention. I still haven't found it (see #1001 above).

Ken Russell died.
My interest in him was sparked by his association with Derek Jarman. But I accept he was probably a genius. Many people I admire with more knowledge of film have said so.

I wasn't really attracted to his films - it's not a medium which excites me and I admit my ignorance. I watched The Devils purely for Jarman's sets.

Heard Glenda Jackson on the Radio speaking very passionately about him. It moved me.
