Bernie Mac, sad, only 50

No Gravatar

Hollywood woke up this morning to the news that actor-comedian Bernie Mac has passed away due to complications from pneumonia. He was 50.

The actor-comedian, who told jokes on train platforms and plugged away for decades before coming into the spotlight on his own Fox sitcom, the Ocean’s movies and more, died today—one week after it was learned he’d been hospitalized with pneumonia.

A spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed to E! News that Mac had been a patient at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital for “over a week,” and that he died this morning of “natural causes.”

I loved Bernie Mac and watched his show late at night all the time, he was almost like a member of my family since I don’t get out much! Bernie, you will be dearly missed..

  1. Yes, as they say in steel magnolias, laughter through tears is my favorite emotion :) I will miss him for sure, the way he stared into the camera on his show as if he was talking to me :(

  2. I know you’re going to miss him. He made many people laugh and God knows, we all need a good laugh. Even if it is a bit “rough”!!
