2008 dead celebrities I really felt kinda bad about upon hearing that they had died:

• Suzanne Pleshette (died Jan 19 at age 70)

• Roy Scheider (died Feb 10 at age 75)

• Paul Scofield (died March 20 at age 86)

• Sydney Pollack (died May 26 at age 73)

• Harvey Korman (died May 29 at age 81)

• Cyd Charisse (died June 17 at age 86)

• George Carlin (died June 22 at age 71)

• Paul Newman (died Sept 26 at age 83)

• Studs Turkel (died Oct 31 at age 96)

• Eartha Kitt (died Dec 25 at age 81)

Yes, yes.  I know others died (Heath Ledger, Charlton Heston, etc.).  But their deaths, while sad or surprising or whatever, didn't make me go, "Oh man!".
