Comic Rodney Dangerfield Dies in L.A. at Age 82
Tue Oct 5, 2004 08:05 PM ET LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said. Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT (4:20 p.m. EDT) at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement. |

aw man, that is sad, he was so funny.
My brother and I ran into him once at the super market across the street from my place, when I lived in lost angels. He was coming out and we were going in, we stop, he stared at us and said 'HOW YOU DOIN'? and kind of grunted and walked out. We started cracking up.. so we walked back out and he was tearing out of the parking lot in this huge, white, convertable cadillac. His eyes were so bloodshot!!!! I think he was trashed. It was pretty funny.

 He always made me laugh hard. I loved Back to School. I, for one, will miss him.

rmr, are you the new obituary columnist? Sad, but nobody gets out of this life alive. Shall I say I can sympathize with his famous one liner...

Rodney was truly cool. He was a classic, and he will be missed.
