ADIOS, CHARLES GRODIN...

You weren't relegated to imagi-movies alone, but when you visited them, the results were most enjoyable.

Case in point: King Kong '76; Heaven Can Wait; Hearts and Souls; the Great Muppet Caper; the Incredible Shrinking Woman; the Lonely Guy; and Clifford (yes, the latter two are darn surreal enough to be called fantasy). 

In addition, you really stacked 'em up with the Heartbreak Kid; Beethoven; Beethoven's 2ndSunburn; Last Resort; Midnight Run; Same Time, Next Year; Seems Like Old Times; the Couch Trip; Thieves; Ishtar; 11 Harrowhouse; Madoff; the Woman in Red; Just You and Me; Fresno; and the Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank.  

You were an affable, dry-witted gent (especially on the talk-show circuit), proving yourself one of those few genuine gems to view. I'll miss you, Mr. Grodin, and so will a ton of other people. May we all have the extra-special pleasure of meeting you when we finally gain entrance to that wondrous Beyond.
