Never cared for the guy. He was a monumental douche that couldn't figure out why his stardom didn't last into his old age. He became bitter that people started enjoying action movies more than song and dance, and it really showed. His commentary on his roles on the Twilight Zone DVD are legendary:

Later in his life he kept trying to invest in get-rich-quick schemes to build an empire and get noticed again. His children and assistance had to constantly intervene, leading to an embarrassing testimony on elder abuse and accusations of his kids stealing his money.

So, RIP, but I really wish he was a nicer person.

His will revealed that his entire estate was worth just $18,000. He didn't leave any of his kids the money because they were better off financially than he was. How sad.

He had a lot of high quality tail in his life. :)

I feel slightly guilty for posting this a couple months ago...

Philip Seymour Hoffman wasn't born in the 1920s; the other two were. If we're going for the rule of threes, I'm saying Philip Seymour Hoffman doesn't count, and Mickey Rooney is probably sweating about now.

RIP Sid.

RIP Mickey.
