That actually may be the worst one. I was only probably 13 or 14 and had never experienced a television character dying.

In terms of real celebrities, I generally don't connect that much with celebrities so I don't really get upset or anything. I remember the DT thing because it was unexpected, but even then he'd had the injury before the death so the death itself was dampened.

When Danny Federici died as the first member of the E Street Band, that may have been the one that affected me the most. But again, I wasn't devastated or anything.

I was out to dinner when the Princess Diana thing happened. I got home and turned on the TV, and had no idea what was happening because the news coverage was showing the car and doing a lot of "they're at the hospital" talk, and they weren't saying who was in the accident since I was joining the coverage late. So I was watching that coverage somewhat intently because I knew it must have been someone famous, but I didn't know who.
