Which movie star are you dreading their death the most?
Not to be morose, but I was watching the making of Jaws tonight,
And I was thinking about the enormous impact the music of John Williams and how much it will hit me like a ton of bricks the day I read his obituary in the paper.
The man is 80 years old. He hasn't got much time left.
Same with Sean Connery.
How about u guys? U guys ever get all Debbie Downer on this stuff?

Jack. His death would be the end of an era. He's such an icon, the biggest star there is and let's be honest, he's got to be living on borrowed time by now.

Abe Vigoda
Many people don't realize this, but the world is actually going to end on the day that Abe Vigoda dies.

Woody Allen. I will cry.
I also agree with the first 2 posters.. John Williams an Jack Nicholson.. it'll be very hard for me to accept their being gone. Harrison Ford, too.

I'll well up over dozens of them I'm sure, but not sure who would affect me the most.
Maybe Dick Van Dyke.
Edit to add: changing my answer to William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy

this part especially. He's probably the greatest turn of an actor going director here in the US (THOUGH Invictus was a bit too average for him). Everyone knows at work that should he ever die as long as I'm w/ this company. I will be off that day.

The few old-school stars we have left:
Olivia de Havilland
Joan Fontaine
Lauren Bacall
Tony Curtis
Ernest Borgnine
Deanna Durbin
Maybe even Mickey Rooney. As obnoxious a putz as he could be at times, he was a great actor at other times. And has been performing steadily for over 85 years, a record that can't be beat.
Possibly James Garner and Sidney Poitier as well.
And Eli Wallach and Robert Vaughn, two survivors of the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN cast, a film that came out 50 years ago. And Vaughn starred in my favorite childhood TV series, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, and every other surviving cast member from the original "Star Trek." I used to go see these guys at conventions. The 50th anniversary of the premiere of "Star Trek" is coming up in six years. Who'll be around to celebrate?
Gene Hackman and Robert Duvall.
Yeah, and definitely Sean Connery. That will be a very sad day.

Betty White. It will be the loss of an American legend. (OK, maybe she's been in more TV shows than movies, but she's been in movies so I guess it counts.)

I mean honesty, what has Betty White done other than The Golden Girls and recently playing potty mouthed old lady characters?
