Comic Rodney Dangerfield Dies in L.A. at Age 82
Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said.
bq. Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement.
A couple quotes:
bq. I was five years old before I realized there was no such thing as ALPO baby food.
bq. I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.
bq. Last time I tried to make love to my wife nothing happened, so I said to her, 'What's the matter, you can't think of anybody either?'
Rodney, you will be missed...
