Entertainment shockers

As recently as today and over the past week there have been some deaths in the entertainment industry that have been a shocker to me. The first one was Rodney Dangerfield, comedian. He passed away at the age of 82. I most remember him in the films "Caddy Shack" (a true classic) and "Back To School."

This morning I found out that Christopher Reeves died of heart failure (a common complication from paralysis) at the age of 52. He was known for his roles in the Superman movies. I recently caught him in his cameo role of "Smallville" where he plays a billionaire aware of Clark Kents origin.

The third one, a famous baseball sports player, Ken Caminiti. He played for the San Diego Padres and retired a few years ago. He died at the age of 41 due to a heart attack. His big accomplishment was when he led the Padres to the division champion and won the NL MVP.
