Adam Sandler died? Is this a hoax?

EDIT: I think this is a hoax. I google it and saw the story of his death also dated Sept. & then in Oct. 2012 Must be fake. Who would do such an awful thing? confused

It appears that this is a hoax that's been around for several months...and still won't die (the hoax, that is).

SV,

I did some checking too and it appears to be a hoax. What a terrible thing to do. I am not a fan of Sandler's movies/comedy but certainly am glad it's not true. I can not believe anyone would start such a vicious story. mad

Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii) passed away December 17 at age 88.



The New York Times called him "Hawaii's quiet voice of conscience in the Senate."

NY Times obituary

Wikipedia article

A huge loss to the political world; the long-serving Inouye was greatly respected by virtually everyone.

Not sure if anyone had him on their list.

I thought I heard Inouye has been Senator since Hawaii became a state (1950something?). confused

Robert Bork, a proposed nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, died yesterday at age 85. President Reagan had proposed him as a member of the highest court. The Senate hearings to confirm him were some of the best tv of the time and they showed some down and dirty political infighting. Bork did not help his own cause with his smug attitude.

Bork, an extremely conservative political thinker was a high ranking member of the Department of Justice in the 1970s, moved up the ladder after his "bosses" refused to follow Richard Nixon's order to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox which caused Nixon to fire them. Bork was happy to fire Cox (as soon as Bork became Acting Attorney General).

I greatly disliked the man's politics and his nature. Besides, he looked like an old lady's pudenda.

Quote:
Los Angeles — Jack Klugman, who made an art of gruffness in TV's "The Odd Couple" and "Quincy, M.E.," has died at the age of 90.

The actor's son Adam says his father died Monday afternoon in Los Angeles.

In the 1970s sitcom "The Odd Couple," Klugman played sloppy sports writer Oscar to co-star Tony Randall's Felix, a fussy photographer. In "Quincy, M.E.," which aired from 1976 to 1983, Klugman played an idealistic, tough-minded medical examiner.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

I just heard that Charles Durning died. He was 89.

A damned fine actor, he'll be remembered as one of the better character actors of the era. My favorite role of his was in "The Choirboys", a better movie than it's usually reviewed.

Was he in "Queen of The Stardust Ballroom"? My dad loved that movie. And "The Odd Couple" was one of my favorite shows.

Yes, Charles Durning was in Queen of the Stardust Ballroom, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, among many, many others. (Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and The Sting also come to mind.)

A fine actor, who pretty much kept working right up until the end.

Signor V.





His obit said he was a dance instructor as a young man. I loved the scene in "O Brother" where he comes dancing on the stage when the Soggy Bottom Boys are singing "Man of Constant Sorrow." Now I know why he looked to nimble in his dance routine.

Durning was my favorite character actor, bar none. I would ordinarily rather have carnal knowledge of a dog with scarlet fever than go to a Broadway show, but I did to see him in a revival of "Inherit the Wind" (he was great). My favorite of his movie roles was as Jack Amsterdam in "True Confessions," the most uderappreciated great film of the Eighties.
