Comedian, actor and one of the Original Kings of Comedy Bernie Mac passed away today the age of 50, way too f*cking young.
“Actor/ comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”
Bernie Mac turned his real-life situation of taking his sister’s kids into a hit sitcom that earned him Emmy and Golden Globe nominations and made us laugh every week with him. He made us laugh over and over in so many great movies and with 4 more movies of his yet to come out we will continue to laugh even though he was taken away from us way too young. UPDATE: Here is Fox’s Statement:
Bernie Mac was a gifted talent whose comedy came from an authentic and highly personal place. He was a tremendous live performer and a wonderful actor. FOX was proud to be the home of “The Bernie Mac Show,” and all of us at FOX and 20th Century Fox Television extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Rhonda and daughter JeNiece.
Estelle Getty passed away today, 3 days short of her 85th birthday.
She will always be remembered as the lovable and feisty Sophia Petrillo.
She will live on with The Golden Girls repeats, so please go home and watch her tonight on Lifetime I know I will be!
Thank you Estelle Getty for all the laughs, you were a true genius.
