This Is Not Christmas Cheer
I take some time away from my precious-TV and all this shocking news comes down the pipeline.
First after suffering from Multiple Sclerosis Richard Pryor died on December 10th at the age of 65 nine days after celebrating his birthday.
He was the first real comedian I saw on cable. Also he was the first celeb I knew was on drugs. It cut his life short at the end he was nothing more then a pile of mush.
Second was Lillo Brancato Jr. who was in a A Bronx Tale and The Sopranos went and broke into some house then his accomplice shot and killed a police officer, Daniel Enchautegui, 28. This happened in New York and was the second time a cop got killed in the last two weeks. Brancato Jr. has been battling a drug problem for years I'd say he'll sober up now but that won't happen in prison.
Third while researching these two guys at TV Squad they had this story about former ALF star Max Wright.
Apparently Wright is a crack head years after getting busted for drunk driving .
This is old news from August but it's the first I've heard of it.
The real shocker is that he is doing gay-porn for the crack money. I knew he was gay but I thought he had a stable relationship but I guess this is the third story that I must say drugs messed up another life.
Okay so lessons from these X-mas tales:
- Stay away from drugs.
- Your famous everyone is going to know.
- The actors I grew up with will continue to disappoint.
I agree with you: stay away from drugs! However, Richard Pryor did have a debilitating illness so he could have ended up in the same condition before his death even if he hadn't done drugs.
ReplyDeleteBut not as fast he may have had five or ten more years.
