Basher Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Character actor Bruno Kirby, 57, dies LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bruno Kirby, a veteran character actor who co-starred in "When Harry Met Sally," "City Slickers" and many other films, has died at age 57, his wife said Tuesday. Kirby died Monday in Los Angeles from complications related to leukemia, according to a statement from his wife, Lynn Sellers. He had recently been diagnosed with the disease. "We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we have received from Bruno's fans and colleagues who have admired and respected his work over the past 30 years," his wife said. "Bruno's spirit will continue to live on not only in his rich body of film and television work but also through the lives of individuals he has touched throughout his life." Kirby was perhaps best known for his roles opposite Billy Crystal in 1989's "When Harry Met Sally" and 1991's "City Slickers." Other film credits included "Good Morning, Vietnam," "The Godfather: Part II" and "Donnie Brasco." More recently, he played Phil Rubenstein on the HBO series "Entourage."

bouche Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 ....and the limo driver in Spinal Tap right?yeah, I knew there was something bigger that I was trying to think of.Limo driver: Excuse me...are you reading "Yes I Can"?Limo groupie: Yeah, have you read it?Limo driver: Yeah, by Sammy Davis Jr.?Limo groupie: Yeah.Limo driver : You know what the title of that book should be? "Yes I Can if Frank Sinatra Says it's Okay". Cause Frank calls the shots for all of those guys . Did you get to the part yet where uh...Sammy is coming out of the Copa... it's about 3:00 in the morning and uh...he sees Frank? Frank's walking down Broadway by himself....(Limo window raised by Nigel)Limo driver: Fuckin' limeys.Marty: Well you know, ah...they're not uh,...used to that world.Limo driver: Yeah yeah.Marty: You know Frank Sinatra it's a different world that they're in.Limo driver: You know, it's just that people like this...you know... they get all they want so they don't really understand, you know...about a life like Frank's, I mean, you know when you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you uh ...you know what life's about.Ian: The Times may even do something.David: The New York Times?Ian: Yeah, the New York Times.David: The bump we've got to iron out here is when do we get the album released. I mean it doesn't matter how good the press is or what the stringers....Ian: As I explained last night you know we're not gonna saturate the New York market....now Philly now that's a real rock and roll town. David: Oh, Philly's great.Ian: Be assured that the album will be available all throughout the Philadelphia metropolitan area.David: So you are hitting that market regardless of how we're selling in New York?Ian: We are doing, we certainly are doing, well, I'm doing everything I can.David: That's right. We are not blaming you, you know that we're not blaming you.Marty: But you don't feel these guys have an effect on an audience, I mean, kids go to their concert they have a great time, uhh....Limo driver: But it's...it's a passing thing...it's uh.... I mean I would never tell them this but this is uh...this is a fad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
