Vaclav Havel. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/18/vaclav-havel-dies)I'll probably always remember the quote from Vaclav Havel on writing:

A friend of mine gave a very recent, but slightly dubious link about the death of Bon Jovi. (http://dailynewbloginternational.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/international-rockstar-legend-jon-bon-jovi-dead-at-49/) I have not been able to confirm this yet though, so it ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

That's where I saw him from... I didn't remember until you said that.
I expect they'll find a replacement, although whatever filming they've done already will almost certainly have to be changed. They might have to do a Gladiator when Oliver Reed died and they had to use body doubles and then digitally change the face. Though I expect today that would be much easier than back in 2000.
I honestly was surprised she died. Because I didn't know she was alive.
