RIP Peter Boyle

Was in the shower when I heard a news clip - such a sad thing

I loved Peter Boyle!! I still remember him in "While You Where Sleeping." I heard on the radio this morning that either he was John Lennons best man or Lennon's was his. I didn't know that!!

Rest in Peace Peter Boyle.

Lennon was Boyle's best man. Boyle's wife, Lorraine, was a reporter for Rolling Stone when they met -- he was in full "Young Frankenstein" make-up. Lorraine was a friend of Yoko Ono, through whom he met Lennon.

I enjoyed him in many roles -- especially Frank Barone ("holy crap!"), but he will always be the Monster in "Young Frankenstein" to me.
