And speaking of that, I immediately thought of John Wayne. I knew the number was off the charts statistically, but I had no idea it was this huge.

July 2007
If he were alive today, John Wayne would have just celebrated his hundredth birthday. Actually, if he hadn’t made the worst movie of his career, “The Conqueror,” he might well have made it to the century mark. In that movie, Wayne appeared as Genghis Khan, joining the likes of Katharine Hepburn, Paul Muni, Mickey Rooney, Louise Rainer, Agnes Moorehead, Walter Huston and Alec Guinness, on the list of movie greats who should have had second thoughts before agreeing to portray Asians.

In case you’re wondering how that dreadful 1956 movie shortened the Duke’s life, it was shot downwind from where our government had been conducting A-bomb tests. Among the movie’s cast and crew, it’s believed that 91 people, including Wayne, director Dick Powell, and co-stars Susan Hayward and Pedro Armendariz, developed radiation-induced cancer.

Sadly, Patrick Swayze has one of the more difficult cancers to cure, pancreatic. I wish him the very best.

Jeff Healey , God love him, left us a few days ago.
My older son's middle school wrestling coach turned our family on to Jeff --HELL TO PAY--Healey back in the late 80s.
Healey dazzled us, with his mad skills as a guitarist ,and his inner light.
We will never forget him.

So sorry about Patrick Swayze. He's only 55, strong etc. but the pancreas doesn't do well with the deadly CA. I wish him all the best.

Whoppi Goldberg ( a longtime very good friend of his ) said this morning on the View that he is in the very early stages and the doctors are very optimistic he will recover
