RIP Bernie Mac

#1 Post by JBillyGirl » Sat Aug 09, 2008 7:28 am

Bernie Mac died today at the age of 50 after being hospitalized for pneumonia. Not many details yet. Kinda shocking, given his age.

Damn. Just... damn.

I knew he had been ill for the last couple of years, but I didn't think it was that serious.

Damn.

:shock:

I didn't know he was ill. He was so funny and so young.

This was a shock to me. He was a very funny performer, and he will be missed.

He had sarcoidosis, which I'd forgotten was what killed Reggie White (although I remembered apnea as part of the problem with him).

This article is from 2005.

Oh, my.....what a shock! :-( RIP

This makes last week's Bad Reporter rather timely & poignant.

If Terrence Howard isn't incentive enough, Bernie Mac will make you want to watch the formulaic movie "Pride".

Very horrible, but I guess its good he finally got to have his time in the sun of fame if his life was to be so short.
