Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted August 16, 2009 David Carradine was NOT a Scientologist... he once tried the religion out and didn't like it. NNDB is full of absolute crap, hence the reason it's been banned from being used as a source on Wiki now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, you never know, especially since we always get shocking deaths every year and this year is no exception (e.g., Michael Jackson, Steve McNair, Natasha Richardson, and John Hughes).

CarolAnn 926 Posted August 17, 2009 OK, I tried to resist but I couldn't. Feel free to peg anything I've missed. Yes Actualy actually, Thorton Thornton worked with John Ritter in Sling Blade & Bad Santa, Bernie Mac also in Bad Santa, Heath Leader in Monsters Monster's Ball, Natasha Richardson in Waking up Up in Reno, J.T. Walsh in Slingblade Sling Blade, Brad Renro Renfro in the The Informers, The Aposle Apostle with Farrah Fawcett, Jimvarney Jim Varney in Sling Blade. He also worked with Patrick Swayze in Waking Up in Reno. John Ritter was 55. Died of an aortic dissection - a little young, yes, but not an unusual death. Bernie Mac had sarcoidosis and got pneumonia. Natasha Richardson was a genuine unexpected tragedy. J.T. Walsh was 54 and died of a heart attack - hardly unheard of. Brad Renfro overdosed - hardly unusual in Hollywood. Farrah Fawcett was 62 and had cancer. Jim Varney was 50 and a heavy smoker who died of lung cancer. Also another Actor actor Who who seems to Have His Co-Stars Dropping Dead have his co-stars dropping dead is Gene Wilder (Yes I Know hes Quite Old) (yes, I know he's quite old). Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein, Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles, Gilda Radner and Dom Deluise (Yes yes, I know they died almost 20 years apart) in Haunted Honeymoon, Madiline Madeleine Kahn also In in both Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstien Frankenstein, Zero Mostel in the The Producers, Richard Pryor in Silerstreak Silver Streak, Stir Crazy, and two others which names escape me, Jack Alberson Albertson in Charlie and the Chocolate factory Factory (Aloth although he was quite old). My observation is that the deaths supposedly related to Gene Wilder were, for the most part, people dying of natural causes...some may have been younger than "normal," but I don't think any of them were such tremendous surprises. Being as Gene Wilder is 76 years old, it's not surprising that he's buried a bunch of co-stars. Also, Wilder starred in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp starred in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In order to link up deaths like 888-333 is trying to do here, you kind of have to have a common denominator surrounded by unusually tragic and unexpected deaths. People outliving their peers is hardly unusual, and smokers dying young is common. Doesn't scan for me. I mean, I've outlived all kinds of family members myself.

You could pick any actor or film and find tragedy connected to it. having said that, I have wondered whether Blazing Saddles was filmed near a nuclear reactor or something as a number of cast members did suffer from cancer.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted August 17, 2009 I didn't know Anne Bancroft appeared in Blazing Saddles. I know she was married to Mel Brooks. So we also have the Curse of Billy Bob Thornton? Something to ponder on I suppose. Is Brad Pitt going to become a widower? Part of me hopes so rather than the unthinkable alternative.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
