RIP Celebrity Thread - Part 4

[C. Lee]

Are they implying he committed suicide?

Sometime within the last 2 weeks he was involuntarily committed due to his recent attempts at suicide. It's possible he hurt himself bad enough then that he eventually died from it.

*EDIT* He was involuntarily committed on April 4th http://www.etonline.com/verne-troye...-after-police-called-to-his-home-report-99661

I'm always bummed when this thread is active.


Verne Troyer a rad little dude. RIP.

Milos Forman a great director.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Yep, without doubt the thread that you find yourself hoping gets the least activity of all.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

RIP Verne Troyer.

 

[Pennywise]

RIP Verne Troyer!

The scene where Mini-Me attacked Austin in "The Spy Who Shagged Me" was my favourite!

Mike Myers Remembers Verne Troyer: “He Will Be Greatly Missed”

“Verne was the consummate professional and a beacon of positivity for those of us who had the honor of working with him,” said Myers. “It is a sad day, but I hope he is in a better place. He will be greatly missed.”

Those of us who grew up in the '70s and '80s will likely have fond memories of Schoolhouse Rock and its unforgettable songs, such as "Conjunction Junction," "I'm Just a Bill," "Three is a Magic Number," and "My Hero, Zero."

Today, news came that the man who penned and performed these iconic songs, Bob Dorough, has passed away at 94:

According to his IMDb profile, he was the fourth cousin twice removed of Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys.

Are they implying he committed suicide?

He was miserable the last few years. Very nasty guy to be around regardless if you knew personally knew him or not. Rumored to be broke and not getting any work, I can see why he would drink himself to death.

Tragic. She was a fantastic Lois. At least now she gets to be with Clark again.

This is almost a full year after Adam West passed away on June 9 of last year.

 

[Drizzle]

Such a shame. Even after all the various incarnations of the character, she was still my favorite Lois. And I hope that after all she had to deal with, she's finally found some peace. RIP

 

[terry78]

Rip Lois.

 

[C. Lee]

I'm heartbroken about Margot. I met her several times at conventions. She was very sweet and friendly with her fans. At one of the Superman Festivals in Metropolis, Illinois we had a very nice chat about things non movie or Superman related while we sat at the giant Superman statue they have there. People were walking by not recognizing her, so we were uninterrupted. A very fond memory of a lady now gone from us.
