In Memory of Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper

The entertainment world has lost so much great talent over the last year.  This weekend two talents have been lost to the hollywood stars. 


Gary Coleman died on Friday, May 28 after a serious fall at his home in Utah.  He was 42 years old.  In memory of the Diff'rent Strokes star, the Broadway musical Avenue Q dedicated their May 28 performance to the late actor who is parodied in the play.  According to the NY Time, the character will remain in the musical, but the writing will under go some revisions.


On Saturday, May 29 Dennis Hopper died at the age of 74 after a long battle with prostate cancer.  Hopper's career spans a wide range of films and television series, as well as writing and directing credits.  Dennis Hopper was one of those actors that I loved to watch no matter what role he was playing, and it all began when I was introduced to Easy Rider.  

Both talents will be greatly missed.
