Also, about a year ago, I completely missed the death of movie artist Peter Ellenshaw (1913-2007), who did most of his work for Disney, including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Black Hole.

***
In January, three men with connections to the entertainment world, died of drug overdoses - Christoper Bowman, Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger. While I'm not familiar with Bowman, I thought Renfro had brilliant potential as a child actor, and Ledger was going to have a great, varied, and long career. All I can say is, if you have a talent, don't waste it. Reporting these deaths, three one one month (it reminds me of 1970 all over again) was disappointing. If you have to do drugs, at least do ones that don't kill you.
Ever heard of anyone dying from a pot overdose?
Didn't think so.
