CNN is reporting that comedian Bernie Mac is dead at the age of 50 from complications of his recent pneumonia. Mac went into semi-retirement a few years ago with a lung ailment that further complicated the illness.
Although I wasn't a huge fan I did enjoy his sitcom and I tip my hat to the man for filming Mr. 3000, a film about my Brewers, here in Milwaukee.
[and while I didn't get a chance to post about it at the time, RIP Estelle Getty. I liked her spunky wise-ass portrayal of Sophia on the Golden Girls, which was one of my Grandma's favorite shows and in constant rotation on her TV for awhile.]
I too liked Bernie Mac and am very sadden by his loss...Loved the move Mr. 3000 and the TV sit com. He was way too young to pass
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess I'm like your Grandma, she Estelle Getty was a dream on Golden Girls, and loved her spunky additude.

I was shocked and saddened at the passing of Bernie. He will be missed.
