    The great comedian Richard Pryor Died today, at 65 from a heart attack.
    That's sad. His stand up is some of the best I've ever seen. Even all these years later.

    Thats a shame. The poor guy had it pretty tough the last 10 years or so with parkinsons.
    Speaking of Superman 3, they actually paid Pryor more than Christopher Reeves who played Superman because Pryor was such a huge draw at the time. RIP.

    It was MS he had as far as I can remember....

    Yeah, great comedy actor. 'Hear no evil, see no evil' is still one of my favourite films today...

    Third_Echelon got there before me. I still laugh at "see no evil, hear no evil" today. Him and Gene Wilder had such great chemistry on screen. Go take a look at "stir crazy" and you can see how well they worked together back then. Great actor, great comedian, great memories!

    I only really knew him in See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Superman 3. But a mate got a DVD of his show. He was a great comedian, and I actually remember saying during it 'whatever happened to him'. Its a real shame, although he did make over 40 films and theres a few DVD's now, so at least he left something for us to remember how funny he was.

    RIP Richard Pryor

    Definetly one of the best comedies out there, the part where he realises he's black had me in absolute tears, and still does. "Does dad know!?" :D
