    Bummer. Awful way to go. Alzheimer's would mean he has been "gone" for a while...

    Hm. I didn't even know he had Alzheimer's.

    Agreed. He was a great actor. RIP, my brother.

    I liked Blazing Saddles.

    There was a long time where I thought he played Dr. Strangelove, but that was incorrect.

    Go with God, Gene. You'll be sorely missed.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    He remarried. But one of the saddest moments I ever saw was that SNL tribute Steve Martin did when she passed. There wasn't an internet then, and we didn't know she was sick, much less dead.
