Getting in the Last Word

As my last post for the year 2009, I thought it might be fun to recount
the last words of some of Hollywood�s illustrious, notorious, and even
forgotten stars. And, I don�t mean their last spoken words, but the
epitaphs on their gravestones. These are the thoughts, comments, and
quips that they chose to be remembered by. Some seem to perfectly fit
their star images, as befitting actors whose public personas were as
important as their performances, while others are just plain odd. It
makes me realize that all the good epitaphs are taken!
Jack Lemmon: "In"
Rodney Dangerfield: "There Goes the Neighborhood"
Stella Adler: "And Shall Not Loveliness Be Loved Forever"
Gracie Allen and George Burns: "Together Again"
Gracie Allen and George Burns: "Together Again"
Billy Wilder: "I'm a Writer But Then Nobody's Perfect"
Ed Wynn: "Dear God: Thanks"
Joan Hackett: When Hackett did not want to be disturbed on set, she hung
a sign on her dressing-room door that read, "Go Away--I'm Asleep." That
became her epitaph.
Frank Sinatra: "The Best Is Yet To Come"
Merv Griffin: "I Will Not Be Right Back After This Message"
Mel Blanc: "That's All Folks"
Leslie Townes Hope: "Bob"
John Barrymore: "Alas Poor Yorick"
John Wayne: �Tomorrow is the most Important thing in life. Comes into us
at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself
in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.�
