Comic Art Linkletter died on May 26th at the age of 97 from natural causes. People my age will remember him from such great shows as People Are Funny and the all time comedy classic Champaigne For Caesar. A clean cut comedy genius which you just don't find anymore. Another piece of my childhood is gone.
Gary Coleman, star of Different Strokes died at the age of 42 after suffering a brain hemmorage. He died on May 28th.
Dennis Hopper has died as well....I met dennis several times over the years and, yes, he was a crazy guy, but also pretty damn cool. He was born May 17th 1936 and died May 29th 2010. Dennis had a very grand career with such films as Night Tide, Easy Rider (where he became a counterculture Icon), The Trip and many other. Over 115 movies and the last film I was able to catch him in was George Romero's Land Of The Dead and he did a wonderful job and was very proud to have worked in a Romero film. A screen legend and a pretty damn cool guy.
