RIP Gary Coleman And Dennis Hopper
Two giants of the entertainment industry have died. OK, one giant and a little 42 year old man-boy.
Dennis Hopper was in probably the best of the early counter-culture films of the 60's "Easy Rider". William F. Buckley once asked a friend why he didn't care for the film, saying, "after all, it had a happy ending".
Hopper died of cancer just minutes ago in Variety. His style and stern continence will be remembered for all time, if the world ends tomorrow. He was, in fact, a fine actor, of individualistic skill and talent.
Gary Coleman was just funny. "What you talkin' about Willis" was one of tv's staple funny lines in the 80's. His parents, reportedly stole all of his money, and made him a bitter old man before his time. His wife was by his side, with a drink on his head at the time of his passing.
Gary, we hardly knew ye'.

You're right. Art Linkletter will certainly get a mouthful from Gary now, confusing him with a cute little fella. Art will have to be quick on his feet.
What you talkin' about, Art!
