The Role of Death and the Celebrity: How Dying Affects the Public Perception of a Celebrity Figure.
This paper in APA style examines and identifies qualities of death that are exclusive to celebrity figures. Celebrities are perceived as being somehow greater than common human beings, indicating that they will not age and die in the same respect. Yet when a celebrity does die a violent death, their status is elevated to a position of a "martyr", and they are once again considered above common human beings. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
