thursday thirteen is back. while i was on a brief hiatus from it, it seems it was on a bit of a hiatus of its own. but now, it has since changed ownership and we are good to go.
3. John Lennon
4. John Ritter
6. John Belushi
8. James Dean
10. Chris Farley
11. Aaliyah
13. Steve Irwin

My list would also include John Candy & Karen Carpenter. It’s kinda sad thinking about those people again.
Comment by Kathy on March 1, 2007Good list, Ali! For me, Lennon, Princess Di and JFK were the most surprising. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard about Princess Di’s death, and JFK’s death surprised me in that “Oh man, that family is cursed” kind of way. I’m too young to remember Lennon’s death but I’m a huge, huge Beatles fan and it still surprises me even now that he died the way he did.
Comment by mamatulip on March 1, 2007I was pretty shocked with Steve, Aaliyah, John Ritter & Princess Diana…those are all great list!
Comment by jenny on March 1, 2007Where do you come up with these…They are always fantastic.
I was shocked by all of them..
Comment by Janet a.k.a Wonder Mom on March 1, 2007It’s amazing how those celebrities have influenced our culture. Princess Di – I still remember exactly where I was when I found out.
Great idea for a TT posting. This is my first visit to your site. I’ll be back.
Nice list, sweet lady.
I wonder what our world would be like if these people continued to be a physical part of it.
Comment by Stacie on March 1, 2007It SHOCKED me when Christopher Reeve’s wife died so soon after his death – their poor child! Princess Diana died on my 25th birthday.
Comment by Rebecca on March 1, 2007I agree with Rebecca
I was really surprised when Dana Reeve died.
TT is back?! yay! i was so sad when they disappeared!
and yes, i agree with pretty much all of these, but especially princess diana. like christine, i still remember exactly where i was when i found out. so huge.
Comment by lara on March 1, 2007Yes, those were all surprising, sad and tragic celebrity deaths. John Lennon and Christopher Reeve are the two that my humans consider the most tragic.
Comment by Dragonheart on March 1, 2007Oh, GOOD list!!!
Yeah, I was really surprised by a few of those… Christopher Reeve though, not so much. I was surprised by his wife’s sudden passing more.
Comment by s@m on March 1, 2007Really great list, Ali! You got every one, bang on!
Comment by Haley-O on March 1, 2007kurt cobain, too
Comment by e on March 1, 2007Cool list. And so right on.
You forgot Jim Henson. I didn’t believe it when someone told me Kermit’s creator had died.
Comment by Susan Helene Gottfried on March 1, 2007This may be a case of you being too young…but I remember the shock I felt when Jim Croce died.
Comment by Di on March 1, 2007Great list. I was shocked by all of them except Christopher Reeve. Shocked by the accident. Knew his time may be limited after that.
Comment by Cecile on March 1, 2007I would add Selena, Rebecca Schaeffer, and Heather O’Rourke
Comment by Iris on March 1, 2007Great list! All of them shocking, most recently Steve Irwin *sniff*.
Happy TTing, and thank you for visiting my blog!
Comment by Thomma Lyn on March 1, 2007i was TOTALLY shocked when jfk jr died…
Comment by jennster on March 1, 2007The one that wasn’t really a suprise is Christopher Reeves, after his accident…
Comment by Jill on March 1, 2007Good list! Christopher Reeve’s death didn’t shock me as much as his accident did, but all very shocking deaths.
Thank you for stopping by my TT on Milwaukee. Your step-dad mayor of Glendale — it sure is a small world. I actually live in a ‘burb south of Milwaukee.
Comment by Penny on March 1, 2007Mr. Rogers. I’m still upset about that.
Comment by Chris on March 2, 2007I am so late, but out of all of those River shocked me the most, and probably made me say a brief oh no that sucks. Well Anna Nicole is shocking too since no one can explain it yet
Comment by Sparky Duck on March 2, 2007John Candy’s death hit me pretty hard, though it may not have been entirely surprising, given his risk factors.
