[...] anecdote about a gifted character actor who, while lying on his deathbed, delivered a famously incisive line about playing comic roles. A visitor approached the actor who was ill in a hospital and said sympathetically, “This must be very difficult for you”. The actor lifted his head, smiled weakly, and disagreed saying “No. No. It is not too bad”. He then spoke the classic apothegm: Dying is easy. Comedy is difficult.
