Richard Pryor Dies

[Sean]

Although for some reason most people I know thought he was dead already, he wasn't, but well now he is.

Aw, how sad. :( RIP, Richard Pryor. :tissue:

[Sean of the Thread]

His stand up was great.

[Asha]

That's damn sad.
Come to think of it I thought he was dead too.
Is Gene Wilder dead?

[Snapp]

For some reason, I thought he had died already too. And what Xyelin said.

Phew.
I thought he was. :(

Gene Wilder is in bad shape though last I heard, bad liver or something, and I think his wife is in the crapper too. I know when I looked at it like 9 months ago, I didnt expect him to last another year. I love him so.

:( He wasn't looking so good in his last few television appearances.

[Caiylania]

Sad to hear it. :( Hope Gene and his wife are doing better.

[Kainen]

He was a very entertaining man who had some hard times in his life. I hope he rests in peace.

You may have thought he was dead because he had either MS or a condiion like MS very seriously for some time. I think he did eventually have to stop performing. Too sad. R.I.P

Gene Wilder’s wife, the brilliant Gilda Radner, died a few years ago from cancer I think.

RIP Mr. Pryor. Thank you for making me pee my pants when I was younger.

Pryor had also been suffering from multiple sclerosis for almost 20 years.


I loved him, rest in peace RP

Heh, Pryor had been married like 7 times. What a guy. Cocaine is a hellofva drug.

[HarmNone]

Gene Wilder suffered from non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but I'm pretty sure he was cured of that. Haven't seen much of him in awhile, which is a shame. He's a funny, funny guy.

[ElanthianSiren]

Heh... that Scene from the Silver Streak keeps flashing through my mind. Wilder with a radio and the look on Pryor's face. Priceless.

[Trouble]

Not sure if this was posted (didn't see it anyway), but Richard Pryor passed away from a heart attack over the weekend.

Love him or hate him, he was a true entertainer. My favorite roles he did would have to be in The Toy and in Harlem Nights. His standup is legendary, of course.

[Asha]

:lol2:
Bless you, trouble.

[Czeska]

Gene Wilder was on a Will & Grace rerun the other night. Still funny as hell, altough I"m not sure how old the episode was.

[Asha]

Was it the one where he was wills boss?
The urinal scene made me cry with laughter and the guy seemed damn healthy.

Love Gene.

[Skeeter]

He had a whole routine about when he caught himself on fire frebasing coke. gotta love that.

[AnticorRifling]

His standup where all he did was say nigger this and nigger that wasn't funny. His other stuff was. And his act where he took a lit match and moved around saying it was a mini version of him was ok.

Loved his movies and most of his comedy, but the parts where he just dropped the N bomb for a laugh...meh.

[Latrinsorm]

"'Cuz you all love me so damn much... what's this? ... Richard Pryor."
