Oh no, he was honestly the greatest actor in Baskets. He played the role of a boomer mom perfectly.

Well this sucks. Louie made one of my favorite Christmas cartoons in which he and his kid brother tried to bring Christmas cheer to an old lady living alone. Go to 18:11 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5rDmZPwt7w

At times his character & performance on Baskets really reminded me of my own mom. And he was at or near the top of the short list of "clean" comedians who could still make me laugh.

I remember having a general positive impression of Louie Anderson and then when his current show was out and he was being showered in accolades and I found out he had had basically the worst childhood ever I was like "oh, well, drat, good job making it man" Then today I saw "Louie Anderson in hospital with blood cancer" and I was like ... yeah I do not know much about cancers but that sounds super like the end. Miss you already incredibly strange-looking person, monitor back on

Seeing goons love Louie really makes me  He wrote a book called "The F Word" about growing up with a really mean dad that I 100% related to and it made me tear up in public as I read it in a Borders so I could avoid paying for it. RIP Louie.

Liquid Chicken posted:Well this sucks. Fun fact about Life With Louie: the show ended because Louie, who was in the closet due to his low self-confidence brought on by years of teasing about his weight, was being blackmailed by somebody threatening to expose Louie for being gay. Louie eventually paid the blackmailer $100k but they demanded more so Louie went to the authorities. Somehow the tabloids found out about it all and because culture wasn't as accepting back then his cartoon was canceled.

I like Meat LLoaf. He made some banger songs and he was a good actor. Oh is this thread not about musician and actor Meat "Michael Lee Aday" Loaf? Well maybe the piece of poo poo OP shouldn't have made it about musician and actor Meat Loaf then.

He was in a movie called The Wrong Guys that I enjoyed as a kid. But looking at the trailer it makes me angry at the filmmakers for making it since it seems terrible. One time Louie was in LA at a restaurant and Eddie Murphy came in with his entourage. Before Louie left he told the waiter to put Eddie's bill on his credit card. Eddie called him later to thank him and told him he'd make a part for him in a movie he was working on. And that's how Louie got to be in Coming to America.

Hollywood and celebrities looooove to pretend they're so open-minded and progressive but they are so full of poo poo. I watched Contact (1997) a couple weeks ago and saw this on imdb trivia: quote:Jodie Foster failed to receive a much-anticipated Oscar nomination for her performance in this movie. Some have speculated that this is because she was pregnant and refused to name the father, a fact viewed by many as confirming a lesbianism she never recognized to the public eye at those time. The stigma could very well explain why she was snubbed. Foster finally came out the closet during her acceptance speech at 2013 Golden Globes ceremony where she received a Cecil B. DeMille Award by her carrier, putting end for the longtime rumors about her sexual orientation. Although the paternity of her children Charles and Kit has been attributed to casting director and producer Randy Stone, it never was confirmed nor denied officially.

Louie tells it as he cancelled his projects because he didn't want it to get out. He had a tremendous amount of Catholic guilt and never really accepted it as part of himself, and really didn't want his family to know. I can relate to the Catholic guilt part and it really is quite moving and makes him more all the more relatable. And his loss all the more saddening.
