He was a great comedian. My son still watches the movies he made with Gene Wilder.

My absolute all time favorite was Hear no evil, see no evil. I mean, there was NOTHING funnier than a deaf guy hearing a murder and the blind guy "seeing it".... he will be missed. I even liked him better than Eddie Murphy. Rest well funny man. :blowkiss:

awwww poor guy! I know he had been failing in health for several years...hopefully he went peacefully

LOS ANGELES - Richard Pryor, the caustic yet perceptive actor-comedian who lived dangerously close to the edge both on stage and off, died Saturday. He was 65.

Pryor died shortly before 8 a.m. of a heart attack after being taken to a hospital from his home in the San Fernando Valley, said his business manager, Karen Finch. He had been ill for years with multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease of the nervous system.

Rest in Peace Richard, and thank you for the many laughs...

This makes me sad. His comedy routines were a little too much for me but I sure liked his movies. He and Gene Wilder were brilliant together. I also liked him in "Some Kind of Hero." He will be missed.

I like the movie he was in with Gene Wilder where one was deaf and the other blind. Does anyone remember the name of that movie?

I loved him in "Moving"....I was on the phone with a friend when the news came across the screen and I shrieked, "oh, NO!! " :*( RIP, Richard, and thanks!!

Some of his comic routines were so hysterical. I am not always about the slapstick stuff but he always cracked me up. Just the ability to make someone laugh is an especially remarkable gift.

I posted that above, that was my fav. Hear no evil, See no evil. Absolutely ROFLMAO funny!

he was raised in a house of prostitution and yet made himself into a Star with his jokes. I know the last of his life was very hard but he was an extrodinary person. Very talented. I sure loved watching Richard Pryor.
