Something tells me if it hadn’t of happened that night it woulda happened anyway...maybe some other time or place but probably not too much later. Unfortunately.
He was in “Moneyball.” I think he played the role of former major league manager Art Howe. Good actor. Too bad he got involved with H.
Lol
She killed a senator!
I’m not a doctor but I’m guessing injecting heroin and cocaine can be dangerous.
I was driving a cab when I was 23. A fellow cab driver was a crack addict. They were all on crack back then. he told me it was a thousand times better than sex and right there and then I decided to never try any of them because anything that is a thousand times better than sex is not something you can stop doing
She may have injected him with his fatal dose but Belushi was a train wreck waiting to happen, sad because he was talented, I believe we would still have been reading his obit within a year or two at the most.
Lester Bangs was a character in the 2000 movie, Almost Famous. The bangs character was based upon real life rock critic Lester Bangs.
Something tells you that because you are right. Maybe would have been one or two years, who knows? Not longer than that.
Mapping the week after. But yes it was going to happen.
Chris Farley’s death made me sad. turns out he was embarrassed by his weight but it is what he made his living off of. But then again dying ain’t much of a living
He was great in Charlie Wilson’s War.
He was a fine actor but was a mess.
He was an interesting actor as his career progressed.
Sophomoric meteorologist in “Twister”, gay gopher in “Boogie Nights”, backstabbing criminal in..., uh, with Stanley Tucci and Robin Tunney, “Charlie Wilson’s War, “Hunger Games”, a “Mission Impossible” film, and being gay, he was a natural for “Capote”.
Comedians don’t have a very good track record...Belushi, Farley, Robin Williams, John Candy, Phil Hartman, Sam Kinison, Mitch Hedberg...
“A Man Most Wanted”. That one slipped under the radar but I liked it.
Also “Doubt”, very timely story about the sexual abuse issues in the Catholic church.
I’m thinkin that one was more like an autobiography of their multiple marriages.
Badly miscast in Moneyball. He bore no resemblance to the real Art Howe whatsoever.
Chris Farley and Will Ferrell fall into a class of comic I just never really found funny.
Now I find Jim Carrey’s mugging to be unfunny, but that’s probably because I know what a truly vile person he really is. Stephen Colbert practically makes me sick, but I have no idea what kind of person he is.
Robin Williams and George Carlin, now those guy have always been funny, even when Robin Williams goes to 11.
I miss Robin, very liberal, but he regularly went overseas to entertain our troops.
Isn't humor often used to mask intense inner anger?
“Charlie Wilson’s War.”
I recognize that as something I still need to watch.
That carried over from the theater. In the Mike Leigh film Topsy-Turvy, the famous Victorian actor was depicted sooting up before going on stage.
“He was a fine actor but was a mess.”
That could be said of a lot of people in Hollywood, probably going back to silent films.
There is a list:

Here are just the few I recognize:
Charles Boyer
Chris Farley
Judy Garland
Margaux Hemingway
William Holden
Whitney Houston
Heath Ledger
Marilyn Monroe
Britney Murphy
River Phoenix
There are hundreds.
