Never really listened or watched any of her stuff. Not a big fan of musicals or sing along movies. Know exactly who she is though as somewhere in teenager years a school did a musical or play on Grease.

Why is it that when famous people die, more so older ones,people react like they genuinely thought that they would never die.
And what does RIP mean anyway?
That assumes a lot of things, most of which is hugely unproven.
It's not likely either, that you will ever receive feedback that your RIP wish or sentiment actually made a difference?
Because actors are teapots. You don't expect a teapot to break. But eventual it becomes old and cracks form, but it's still a bit out favourite teapot, and when you least expect it it, it falls apart. Stuff don't last forever.

Maybe but you'll still be a prick.

Probably because they’ve brought more happiness to the world than any of us ever will, and they’ll still be remembered when we’re all dust one day. We give our condolences to thank them for their timeless contributions to our society, I guess.
