Monday, August 11th, 2008

It was a tough weekend for Hollywood. Manager/producer Bernie Brillstein died on Thursday at 77, actor/comedian Bernie Mac died on Saturday at age 50 and on Sunday, songwriter/musican Isaac Hayes died at 65.

Brillstein was famous for discovering talent like Jim Henson, John Belushi and Gilda Radner, being instrumental  in “Saturday Night Live.” Mac was known for his own show, “The Bernie Mac Show” and for doing the remake of “Ocean’s Eleven” and its sequels. Hayes won both the Academy and Grammy awards for his “Theme From Shaft” but might be better known to kids these days at the school cook on “South Park.”

It has been a rough week for the entertainment community with the loss of both George Carlin and Dody Goodman.

Carlin, who passed away Sunday night at 71, was known as a pioneer in comedy, especially for his “Seven Words You Can Never Say on TV” routine. In addition to his comedy, he was also an actor, having performed in movies like “The Prince of Tides” with Barbra Streisand.

Goodman, who was 93, was known for roles on TV in ”Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” and on film, like the lovable assistant to the principal in, “Grease,” with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John and its sequel — and in the stage version.

Actor, Director, Producer Sydney Pollack Dead at 73

Monday, May 26th, 2008

pollack_sydney.jpg According to the Associate Press, the Academy Award winner died Monday after losing his battle against cancer. Pollack won producing and directing Oscars for “Out of Africa” in 1985. His films are too numerous to mention but one of his most moving films to me was “The Way We Were.” He did an amazing job of telling a love story with a brave ending for a Hollywood film — the leading man and woman didn’t end up happily ever after.
