Who was the first death of a celebrity you followed/cared about? Probably Thurman Munson, who died in Aug 79, a month after my grandfather; I was 7. I remember when Elvis & Bing Crosby died in Aug 77, John Wayne in June 79, but didn't care about their work then.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1300142562037166085 …

I remember Pope Paul VI & Pope John Paul I dying in Aug & Sept 78, but they weren't the same kind of celebrity.

Michael Conrad, one of the stars of "Hill Street Blues," who died in 1983, during the run of the series. For some reason, I really felt that as a loss.

Not sure which ones hit me the hardest. Maybe Clarence Clemons & Tom Petty.
