while watching honey, i shrunk the kids me and my gf started talking about rick moranis and i asked her if he was acting in any movies lately....she told me his wife died of cancer and he stopped acting to raise his kids....checked wikipedia, and apparently she was right.
on a side note...we were watching the movie 'ladybugs' with rodney dangerfield a few months back and she told me that the main actor that plays matthew in the movie (jonathan brandis) died because he committed suicide by hanging himself...i didnt believe her...then last week we were watching an episode of 'full house' and jonathan brandis had a guest role on that show....again she mentioned the suicide...i wikipediad it and apparently she was right again.
i dont know how my gf knows all these random morbid facts about actors, but if im ever on who wants to be a millionaire and the question is about some morbid shit pertaining to an actor, she will be my phone-a-friend.
