Two More Celebrities Pass Away, Greg Giraldo and Tony Curtis

First, "Titanic" actress Gloria Stuart passed away on Sunday at the age
of 100. Then Sally Menke, a film editor best known for her long
association with director Quentin Tarantino and who edited "Reservoir
Dogs," "Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill" and "Inglourious Basterds," was found
dead on Tuesday. She passed away during a hike and was only 56 years
old.

On that same Tuesday, director Arthur Penn also passed away. Penn
started in television where he directed an adaptation of "The Miracle
Worker" and later directed a film version with Anne Bancroft and Patty
Duke. But he's best know for his 1967 gangster film "Bonnie and Clyde."
He died of heart failure at the age of 88.

Just yesterday, comedian Greg Giraldo passed away from an accidental
prescription overdose at the age of 44. Giraldo was found by a friend
and rushed to a hospital in New Jersey where he was in critical
condition. Four days after the incident, Giraldo died with his family by
his side.

The comedian wasn't always into comedy. During his younger days, Giraldo
was a lawyer and even graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law
school. He eventually quit his full-time job and got into comedy. He is
best know for his performances on Comedy Central roasts, appearances on
"Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn," and as a judge on "Last Comic Standing."

And now according to daughter Jamie Lee Curtis, Oscar-nominated actor
Tony Curtis has died at the age of 85. Curtis was nominated for an Oscar
for "The Defiant Ones," but is better known for the 1959 comedy "Some
Like It Hot" and "Spartacus."

Earlier this month (September 4th), stand-up comedian Robert Schimmel
died during a car crash at the age of 60. His daughter was driving and
swerved to avoid another car. Schimmel was a frequent guest on "Late
Night with Conan O'Brien" and on Howard Stern's radio show.

I really enjoyed when Tony Curtis and Tom Snyder used to have their
chats.

re: passing of Tony Curtis, ne Bernard Schwartz, who was good
handcuffed to Sidney Poitier,
and when portraying (alleged) conman Fred Demarra and/or Harry Houdini
and/or The Boston Strangler

I can't remember the exact wording of show biz story, when the
native of Brooklyn (?) was reciting Shakespeare (?), and he said for
immortality something
akin to:

'yonder goeth the maiden blah blah' in not exactly total English
accent

if that line is available on the internet (wherever that is), it
should be a hoot to introduce
Windows 7 and everything wacky else with
.
