Hey, if you think I have to deal with a lot of obituaries, take a gander at what my buddy Leonard Maltin has to put up with.
Recently, I sat for a couple of interviews for the obits of famous folks who haven't died yet but probably will in the next few years. It's a creepy practice but probably necessary. And I kinda like the fact that when Bob Hope died in 2003, the obituary that the New York Times ran was written by Vincent Canby…who died in 2000.
