tzikehDonald O'Connor has died. Probably many of you didn't know he was still alive. ;) But I loved him, and it's a rare performer who makes an indelible mark on cinema the way O'Connor did with "Make 'em Laugh" in Singin' in the Rain.
His family was with him, and released a statement that noted that among his last words were the following:
"I'd like to thank the Academy for my lifetime achievement award that I will eventually get."
Goodbye, Donald. At last you can stop suffering and write that symphony.
