Thread: Jade Goody. Has she been forgotten

Quote: Originally Posted by muppeteer Hi, The difference between Farrah Fawcett and Wendy Richards deaths IMO is that neither death was in any way as public as Jades, and there was a lot of speculation at the time that statues would be named after her, merchandise would fly off the shelves, charities would be set up in her name, that she would become an icon to people ill with cancer. Yet none of this has happened yet and may never happen....

I believe it's called a viewpoint - you have one, too ..... Many...

I say pointless thread because the OP clearly had not forgotten her,omah clearly has not...

Quote: Originally Posted by muppeteer Clearly as expected, interest has faded in her. What I wanted to point out by starting the thread thoguh, is how quickly it has died down. When she died, Gordon Brown and others gave praise saying that she would be remembered for the work she did to raise awareness. There was talk of a statue in Bermondsey. But she has hardly become a posterchild for cancer awareness in the long term. No charity has been...

Quote: Originally Posted by newwoman I do think it's a lot to do with Jeff refusing to get drawn in and the fact the other pair left behind are pretty unappealing characters that has stopped her name being carried on in the media. That's a very good point. There was definitely an effort, post-Jade, to 'place' both Jack and Jackiey in the celeb media. Only no one liked either of them, so the papers and magazines have backed...

Quote: Originally Posted by SG-1 These people are not forgotten or we wouldnt be discussing this now,however the fickle world of showbiz proves things move at a very fast pace and we are always looking for the new jade goody or the new farrah fawcett. That is absolutely right. The whole celeb world is full of those who were front page news one week, forgotten about the next. It's the nature of the beast, especially with the lower reaches...

Definitely not have things named after her, except maybe a swimming pool in Bermondsey or wherever she was from. I think it goes to prove that the whole Jade thing from beginning to end was completely over-hyped for people to have tired of it and forgotten so quickly.
