For Mac, who died Saturday at age 50, it was a winning mix, delivering him from a poor childhood to stardom as a standup comedian, in films including the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and his acclaimed sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show."Though his comedy drew on tough experiences as a black man, he had mainstream appeal — befitting inspiration he found in a wide range of humorists: Harpo Marx as well as Moms Mabley; squeaky-clean Red Skelton, but also the raw Redd Foxx.Mac died Saturday morning of complications from pneumonia in a Chicago-area hospital, his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.source: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/08/10/arts/Obit-Bernie-Mac.phpEDIT: Changed the title. « Last Edit: August 11, 2008, 04:15:43 am by nightmare975 » Logged Kilfer Guardian (+100) Posts: 115 Myndflame.com (or) myspace.com/sterence Re: Bernie Mac is dead. :( « Reply #1 on: August 10, 2008, 01:04:19 am » Holy fnuck . . . that man had talent Logged x_XTacTX_x CC:DBT Dream Team Radical Dreamer (+2000) Posts: 2079 I got myself a Paper Clip.

It's odd, because I've never really been a fan of his, but I always had the feeling that he was a genuinely nice guy.Why do the good die young?

But maybe I have something against shitty sitcoms. He should have stuck to stand-up. Logged x_XTacTX_x CC:DBT Dream Team Radical Dreamer (+2000) Posts: 2079 I got myself a Paper Clip.

Hayes turned down a formal education in music to sign with Stax Records, working with Sam & Dave, Otis Redding and Booker T & the MG's.He was forever linked to the Black Power movement and the Blaxploitation era of movies with his iconic theme for that "black private dick who was a sex machine to all the chicks," Shaft. Hayes's contributions to the Rock, Soul and Funk movements earned him a prominent display in the Smithsonian's Rock and Soul Museum in downtown Memphis.Comedy Central's South Park introduced Hayes to the "children" of the 21st Century as the passionate, all-knowing Chef. After becoming one of the show's most beloved characters, Hayes left the show over a dispute between the show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and his chosen pursuit of Scientology.According to authorities, Hayes died of heart failure while exercising on his Memphis estate. source: http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/08/singer-songwrit.html Logged x_XTacTX_x CC:DBT Dream Team Radical Dreamer (+2000) Posts: 2079 I got myself a Paper Clip.
