I know my answer to this one right off the bat: River Phoenix.

I was 15-years-old when Phoenix died and he was my favorite actor on the planet. He was brilliant in Stand By Me, Dogfight, Running on Empty, and other films.

When he died in 1993, I was devastated. Phoenix was only 23-years-old and it seemed incomprehensible to me that a person so young could be taken away like that.

This tweet got a lot of people talking about celebrity deaths that had an impact on them.
