Carol Wayne: Death

In January 1985, Wayne and her companion Edward Durston were vacationing at the Las Hadas Resort in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico. After an argument with Durston, Wayne reportedly left to take a walk on the beach. Three days later a local fisherman found Wayne’s body in the shallow bay.

Authorities later discovered Durston had checked out of the resort the day the couple argued. He had left Wayne’s luggage at the airport. Later, an autopsy performed in Mexico revealed no signs of drugs or alcohol in Wayne’s body. Her death was eventually ruled as “accidental”.

Yes, the early SNLs were quite good. There has been some great talent emerge from there. Some not very good talent has come out of there also.

I quite watching in the 80s. I’ve gone back a few times, but the leftist vent, and some of the skits just being boorish, unfunny, and a waste of time to sit through, killed my desire.

Second City was a source for some of the talent on SNL. I believe the Toronto location was where most of them came from, at least in the early days. http://www.secondcity.com/

Poor Carol Wayne. I thought that was the case. Sounds like maybe some foul play involved.

Definitely not as good in the later years. Other than the original cast, The Billy Crystal years were pretty good and I liked the Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley years too.
