Gregory Hines died yesterday. That is such a cold line. My husband and I were talking about how when a performer you really like stops making movies and such we just sort of figure they retired. Gregory Hines died of cancer. There was never anything in the new telling us this, just the final report of his death. The first time I saw him was in The Cotton Club. I knew I was seeing greatness and started watching for his films and television performances. He blew me away in White Knights and Bojangles. There were so many other great performances by this man there isn't room to list them, but the link from his name will take you to one of the many web pages dedicated to him. I feel sad knowing he is no longer with us.
