RIP: The Necrology Thread
We thought it would be a good idea to start gathering the RIPs in one thread. We start tonight with the death of actor Ben Gazzara.
Quote:
Ben Gazzara, an intense actor whose long career included playing Brick in the original “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on Broadway, roles in influential films by John Cassavetes and work with several generations of top Hollywood directors, died on Friday afternoon in Manhattan. He was 81.
He died of pancreatic cancer at Bellevue Hospital Center, his lawyer, Jay Julien, said. Mr. Gazzara lived in Manhattan.

It is a shame. I need to qualify this with the fact that as a singer, I hated, loathed Houston. I'm sorry if that sounds disrespectful, but no matter what I thought of her music, 48 is too young. She certainly got the brunt of all that celebrity can dish out. It's a pity.

I get it Nobert. I loved "I wanna dance with somebody" for the energy, but I have always preferred Dolly Parton's "I will always love you."

Apparently Whitney's 18 year old daughter was admitted to the hospital with "undisclosed symptoms".
