Fred Willard has died at the age of 80 according to a tweet by Jamie Lee Curtis. Unless I’m reading it very wrong

 

 

She’s married to Christopher Guest who directed him in Best In Show etc. So it makes sense she’d know.

 

Real shame, he was tweeting until a few days ago about the loss of Little Richard and Jerry Stiller.

 

Seen most recently as Phil’s dad in Modern Family

Always a shame to lose alumni from Spinal Tap.

This year is really going up to an 11.

”Then why not make 10 even bigger?”

This year goes to 11.

Massive, massive loss as far as I'm concerned. Gonna watch both Best In Show and A Mighty Wind tomorrow:

You'd think 10 would be loud enough for Gooseberry.

He was 86

 

[Ulitzer95 12,620]

Quite “shocked” to read this (I know, I know, he was 86 but still).

 

I always associated him as being an actor who was quite active in his later years but I guess I am thinking about 10 years ago.

Just turned on to CNN to see a massive banner saying he was dead.Clearly he was a big star in America !  

[One shot Paddy 1,206]

I met him in Vegas a couple of years ago, nice bloke, sad to see him go. It was the time OSPjr was into WALL-E, he couldn't believe we had our photo taken with Shelby Forthright.

Twitter is reporting the death of Kevin Chamberlin, who played Bertram on the TV series Jessie, at age 56. Chamberlin is the second cast member of the show - which ran from 2011 to 2015 - to die. Last year, series co-star Cameron Boyce died suddenly at age 20.

I’ve only seen a few tweets so unless there’s more news I’m not sure how legit it is. If it’s true though, it’s definitely a sad loss...

[Joey Russ 7,227]

Yeah, the two accounts who tweeted his death look to be very low follower accounts. I’ll believe it if more news come out, but at this point looking like a hoax.

Neibaur is probably as reliable a source you'll get for performers of some vintage. If he says she's dead, she dead.
