   Dude, I’m from Belgium, turning twenty and I knew both of them o.O They will be missed.
   But I’d be more shocked if I told someone Micheal Jackson died and they replied with “who?”

   All I had known about her was that she was famous, I hadn’t a clue what for.

   Actually, same for Billy Mays.

   I knew what Michael Jackson was famous for…but could only name one song that he’s related to…and that’s only because he showed up as a dancing zombie in the game I’ve been spending my time on.

   And ditto that fourth guy that died, famous for something.

   Probably I never had a reason to learn who they all were.

   I never heard any Michael Jackson songs
   I didn’t know of Billy Mays until a couple months ago
   I’d never heard of Ed McMahon or Farrah Fawcett until each of them died

   Granted, I tend to be particularly skilled at not caring about celebrities, so… yeah.

   I’ve never heard of Farrah Fawcett, but I recognize the rest.

   Wikipedia’s page about her has her most iconic picture, the one with the big grin and bathing suit:

   Pat, she was mostly famous for being good looking, and saying an occasional line in front of a camera. The Cameron Diaz of her day, if you will.

   Farrah was better than her rep ever implied, but yes, she was mostly famous for being pretty.
