Gregory Hines is gone

“He was fantastic in "Renaissance Man."”

“He was really good in 'Tap' and Mel Brooks' "History of the World Pt 1". I'm dating myself with this one, but when I was a kid and watched the ed Sullivan Show, he used to appear with his brothers and father in an act called Hines, Hines and Dad...”

“Well........what happened??//.....( I have been at work...)”

“He died of cancer.”

“Awwww.......that 's so sad.......:(”

“he was only 57”

“and that is young.....:(”

“it's only 9 years older than i am. i see that as young...”

“Oh man - he was a freakin' brilliant tapper!

I loved, loved, loved White Nights with Barishnakov (sp) - the scene were the two of them have a dance off!

I used to put my little taps shoes on and go tapping around the house like I was Gregory Hines.

This is really sad news - he will be greatly missed in the dance world. :(”

“Call me a philistine, but I loved him in Running Scared...”

“The performing community has lost another great one. I see everywhere that he did indeed died of Cancer, but does anyone know what kind? I cannot find that information.”

“Q, Treebait and I were wonder about that to. No one has said.”

“They may not have released it.

Didn't he appear with Willem Dafoe in a film about MPs in Vietnam?”

“Here's a link to his work:

Gregory Hines”

“Tooooo slow, TB!”

“Bit, you did it again!”

“lmao. I was even to slow in my last comment...”

“Frickin' funny as hell in Deal of the Century.

".....just needs a little touch up...."

and the dude from History of the World Pt. !

" ......time for Mighty Joint..."”

“What can I say, I have fast fingers....”

“I thought so: "Off Limits." That was a good flick.

He was good whether playing in a drama or a comedy. He had such a wide range.

Yeah, good in History of the World Part I as well!”
