Rockets Redglare, dead
"In other lousy news for film buffs, Rockets Redglare, the downtown
fixture who turned up in flicks like Big and Basquiat, died last week as a
result of various ailments. Rockets had a fascinatingly dark life, which
spanned being born to a junkie mom, witnessing his mobster uncle pull
off a hit, and begging cash out of his famous friends. His triumph was
becoming a quirky star in his own right—one I'll sorely miss, and not
just because he never hit me up for money." - m.musto
