I was standing on a subway platform to go to college when someone passed by with a newspaper. It's headline was that Janis Joplin had died. I remember gasping in shock and stifling a sob. I felt very badly when Frank Sinatra, George Harrison and John Lennon (so shocking due to the circumstances.) President John F. Kennedy--I may have cried. None of this compares, of course, to losing a personal loved one.
 
I've never cried, but I have gotten angry over some - especially when they died young, or were murdered.
 
Kobe Bryant

I've always admired him not just in basketball, but more on his character and parenting style. I cried when I heard the news they perished in the helicopter crash.
 
JFK was far more than a celebrity - he set a vision for this country and we achieved it with the first person on the moon and a then healthy space program that spawned many of the technology we have today, moving civil rights forward, among other things. As such, I think his death affected all of us in the US who were alive at the time. I was in the 4th grade and I can still clearly remember the announcement over the loudspeaker in our classroom by the principal.

No. Was I saddened? Yes. But tears? No. I do remember finding an old paper that related to my old boss from many years ago, and I realized that at that point, he had probably passed. I shed a few tears.
 
I do remember being at a gig when Elvis died and our band leader announced it to the audience. There were some in the audience who cried and I didn't really feel anything.

Years later, as phone booths were being removed while cell phones became more prominent, I wondered where the next round of Elvis sightings would come from. I have not heard of any, so I assume his preference was for phone booths. :)

I felt sad after several died, but the three that actually brought a tear to my eyes was Jimmy Stewart, Mary Tyler Moore, and Natalie Wood.
