So long Chuck, and thanks for all the ‘damns.’

16 Jan 08 Brad Renfro dead at 25


July 25, 1982 – January 15, 2008

From the LA Times:

Renfo’s body was found in his Los Angeles apartment, in the 1000 block of South Ogden Drive, by his girlfriend, authorities said. Renfro was declared dead by paramedics at 9 a.m., according to coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter.

“There is no suspicion of foul play,” LAPD Lt. David Evans said.

Renfro’s former attorney, Blair Berk said Tuesday: “Brad was a really gifted young man. It is a tragedy all the way around.”

You know I liked Renfro. His last few appearances were stinkers (The Jacket, 10th & Wolf) but he was a cool actor. I think he could have had a decent career. Perhaps never a leading role but no doubt steady work. Too bad the Hollywood machine of drugs and addiction got to him like so many others.

27 Aug 07 Owen Wilson Hospitalized

Apparently Owen Wilson tried to kill himself, possibly due to a recent break-up from Kate Hudson (though that is still under speculation). From ExtraTV.com:

On Sunday afternoon, police got a frantic 911 call from his Santa Monica home.

Reports say he slit his wrists and took an undetermined number of pills.

Paramedics first took him to a nearby hospital, then rushed him by ambulance to L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where friends and family are rallying around him today.

Reports say his brothers and parents were seen entering the hospital.

Owen’s medical drama unfolded just hours after his ex Kate Hudson and her reported new beau, comedian Dax Shepard, were spotted kissing at a grocery store in nearby Pacific Palisades.

You know that would really piss me off if someone as cool as Owen Wilson offed himself at the height of his career for that one-note spawn of Goldie Hawn, Miss Kate Hudson. Sure she’s cute and all but come on, this is freaking Hansel here. If anyone was slummin’ here it was Wilson.
