It was OK, nothing to write home about.

After reading my letter, and then catching the film herself because of my recommendation, I think you'll find my Mother disagrees with you there.

And The Lonely Guy. That was a good, earlier funny one.

He was good in Dirty Rotten Scoundrells too. And his bit in Little Shop Of Horrors.

Oooh, Parenthood is ace. And The Man with Two Brains.

Was he the dentist in Little Shop of Horrors?...

But anyway, he's not dead. How did this Steve Martin talk all start?

Stotty being facetious.

As in the funny Martin died; to be replaced with the one we've been stuck with for years now, only appearing in crap.

Awww.. Mums. She just didn't want to hurt your feelings.

Did anyone mention Andy Kaufman? He died of lung cancer, though he never smoked.

Thought I better update this:

Vince Powell - 80 - British comedy writer: Love Thy Neighbour, Bless This House, Nearest and Dearest and Never The Twain.

Molly Sugden - 86 - Comedy actress.

Danny LaRue - 81

(I appreciate these aren't exactlty "premature" but I like all the dead comedians in the same thread :))
