i'm at work today. a sunday, but the newspaper must come out every dang day. anyway i just looked on the cnn web site and i was so shocked. i didn't even know that he had cancer. it's just so sad that he was 57. so young and so talented. may his soul rest in peace and his spirit live on.. he could tap his butt off... and don't forget that he did sing a little.

I heard about his death while listening to the radio on my way to pick apples and peaches. He was a very talented actor and dancer on stage and screen. He will be missed, but his work and accomplishments will live on for future generations

I was flipping the channels and someone was reporting it. I kinda guessed when they were talking about him in the past tense.

He was a wonderful actor, dancer and person.

:(

this is the first time i have heard this all day! i am so sad. he was such a wonderful dancer!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that :(

I loved him in History of the World Part I

What?! This is so sad. :(

He's one of those guys you think will be around forever, his dancing talent was so unique and unforgettable.

:( :(

*tap*

He was way cool. A great dancer, and a great personality.

:( I heard about it a couple of hours ago actually watching the news. This is such a tragedy. He was a very talented and gifted actor and an amazing dancer. He will be greatly missed :(

When I used to tap, Gregory Hines was the best.
He'll be missed. He did a lot of good for dance in his life - bringing it to people who would have never thought it was interesting.

He'll be missed :(

I was stunned to hear about his death! I loved him in White Nights. He will be missed :(

Didn't even know he had cancer.:( RIP Gregory Hines.

i read the title of this thread 4 times before i actually saw what it said. i cannot believe it! you guys remember when he was on 'will and grace'?

I told my mother about it yesterday and she cried. CANCER IS A MOTHER FUCKER!!!

I loved him on "W&G"...I'm sorry for this loss of a great talent....He will be missed...

I wonder how the Broadway community will honor him?

I wonder how Savion Glover is taking the news...Gregory was his mentor/idol!

This really makes me sad. I think he is probably the greatest dancer since Fred Astaire. We will miss him.:(

He was a terrific dancer. Not only did he have talent, but he also looked like he enjoyed performing. Such a natural.

How sad :( Entertainment has really been losing some of its best lately.

He was such an incredible talent and will definitely be missed.

I heard about it last night when I got back from my trip. Last time I saw Gregory Hines, he was on "Law and Order". He will be missed.:(
