Lucy pulled the football from him one too many times.
RIP.
Heartbreaking?!?
Not really.
Sad.
Lucy drove him insane 🤪
How peculiar to pass at 65 and be remembered for something over a 4 year span decades past.
May he find peace at last.
Nothing to do with him but....I can’t stand Charlie Brown. I get depressed within 3 minutes of one of those shows. Gave me the creeps as a child. Hated it. Snoopy fantasy segments were boring as well.
Joe Biden killed Charlie Brown with his winter of death speech.
Not to be overly cynical, but wasn’t it obvious all along that at some point in time Charlie Brown was going to take the pipe?
There is indeed quite an aspect of tragedy to this: While many children wish to be actors/singers/performers, etc., how many of them are “self-made”?
The Charlie Brown comic was all right. I have seen every single strip up to a certain point. Of course, it was someone’s bright idea to put it on TV and then it started to get annoying.
And then tragedy, because kids’ parents want to get their offspring involved in show biz. I’m sure the kids’ parents enjoyed the notoriety and $$$$ as much as, if not more than, the kids, but whoops you’re a drug-addicted stalker, Charlie Brown. (I acknowledge he may have ended up that way anyhow, but I doubt if life as a “child actor” helped much.)
Entertainment as an industry is a sick, sour, humorless, vicious business. #AbortTheEntertainmentIndustry
I met him and “Lucy” at a convention once. He was very friendly and very conservative. He handed out $3 bills with Obama’s picture.
Hell, Hollywood ruined a lot of kid actors. Look at Jay North who played Dennis The Menace. That guy was on his way to a bad end until another former kid actor Paul Petersen intervened and help lead North to a path to recovery.
