NEWS: BERNIE MAC DIES AT 50

Saturday, August 9, 2008

bmac.jpg

Comedian/actor Bernie Mac (born Bernard Jeffrey McCollough) died early Saturday morning at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Mac was recovering from pneumonia and was expected to be released soon.

Just Friday, a spokesman for the Emmy-nominated actor said he had been responding well to treatment and confirmed his pneumonia wasn’t related to an inflammatory lung disease Mac has had since 1983.

The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series “The Bernie Mac Show,” which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006. The show garnered Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for Mac.

His upcoming movies include November’s Soul Men with Samuel L. Jackson and Isaac Hayes and Old Dogs, scheduled for release next year.

No word yet on whether public services will be held. A statement from his publicist asked that his family’s privacy continue to be respected.

I’m goin upstairs, he coming down…gonna walk past me like I’m a visitor! I said “Where u goin?”, he say “Ta get some milk and cookies”. He said it so funny I wanna hear it again I say “Get some wha?”, he say “some milk and cookies” !

When I first heard this I thought it was another hoax, It’s so tragic that it’s a reality. He was truly a great comedian and always gave that amazing intangible factor to every movie he was in. He will truly be missed and condolences to his family in their time of loss, this is amazingly tragic. RIP Bernie Mac.

I am ABSOLUTELY devastated! Bernie Mac was truly a legend! I still repeat lines from his act on Kings of Comedy.

I am reading some of the articles and I am truly upset that the only movies they mention are the ones that are “Hollywood” acceptable. Not the movies that made him Bernie Mack: Life, Players Club, shit even Friday. im not saying the movies like Oceans 11 werent good, but come on!

Bernie Mack you will be truly missed!
