Bernie Mac dies at 50

There was some shocking news today in the movie and entertainment world as the actor and comedian Bernie Mac has died Saturday (August 9) at the age of 50.  Bernie Mac had been in the hospital fighting pneumonia but was reportedly feeling better in the days leading up to his death.  The news was certainly shocking and there was little detail initially made available to the press in a statement from the publicist.  She noted that Mac had suffered from an unrelated lung condition since 2005, but he had been doing pretty well up until the pneumonia. 

Perhaps best known as one of The Original Kings of Comedy (2000), the actor/comedian also become popular in movies like the Ocean’s Eleven series.  Most recently, Bernie Mac made headlines when he appeared as a surprise at a July fundraising event for Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack O’Bama.  Mac made some very controversial and inflammatory comments on a number of topics.

Bernie Mac will certainly be missed by the movie and entertainment world as well as his family and closest friends.  Thanks for everything!
