Back in November, Eric Dane sat down with producer Brad Falchuk and recorded what will be his Famous Last Words. Because three months later, the actor lost his battle with ALS.
ALS took a lot of things from Dane, but not his spirit. So, as he struggled to talk because the disease had quickly paralyzed his whole body, he revealed he was happy and at peace living in the present.
That is what he told his daughters: live in the present. Don’t hold onto past regrets.
He also told them to find something they love to do. Something that makes them want to get out of bed in the morning. It should not define you, but it gives you something to excite you.
Friends, make good friends who are there for you no matter what. They won’t judge you, but they will be there when you need them most.
And finally, fight! Never give up. Fight until your breath, like he did.
Sounds simple, and it should be. Even though those words were meant for Billy and Georgia, they can be there for us too because last words are a person’s wisest. And wise those words were.
