Damn, I remember hearing that his health was acting up, but it's still shocking to hear of his passing since he always seemed young (though he was 41).

It may amuse to you know that many people think 41 is young, especially for an age at which to be dead.

Cough, hack, wheeze...he was younger than my son.

The 41 was bad rephrasing from something I had written before reading the obit. I should have kept the mention of untreated diabetes.

Vittorio De Seta.

A friend just posted this on Facebook. Didn't know much about Patrice other than watching one of his stand-up specials and hearing a recent interview on Jay Mohr's podcast, and this part of his talent certainly surprised me. A sadly appropriate song for today.

Zdeněk Miler.

Bill McKinney.

Only eighty? That's young for such a legend.

Should be some wake, though. When the fish scent fill the air, there'll be snuff juice everywhere.

Oh my god that was truly,truly sad news.His guitar playing on Howlin Wolf's Spoonful(an all time favourite of mine)is just total MURDER!Rest in peace.

Legendary casting director Marion Dougherty (Midnight Cowboy, Smile, many of George Roy Hill's films).

Fantasy illustrator Darrell K. Sweet, best known for being the cover artist on the Wheel of Time series.

I'm sorry to say I didn't even know Mr. Morgan was still alive. He was always a familiar face to me growing up, as I remember seeing reruns of "Dragnet" on Nick at Nite, and of course I've caught sight of him in numerous movies. He had a very long and prolific career. Rest in peace.

I had no idea either, but he was as omnipresent an actor in the forties and fifties as you can find-- in everything from noirs to musicals to whatever you define the Teahouse of the August Moon as being and everything in between.

Not to mention his television work starting with Pete Potter on December Bride.
