Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2003 Gregory Hines, the greatest tap dancer of his generation who transcended the stage with a successful screen career that included starring roles in "White Nights" and "The Cotton Club," has died at 57. Hines died of cancer Saturday in Los Angeles, publicist Allen Eichhorn said Sunday. With his smooth, solo tap style reminiscent of Fred Astaire, Hines became internationally known at a young age as part of a jazz tap duo with his brother, Maurice. He won a 1992 Tony Award for the musical "Jelly's Last Jam." Credit: Yahoo.com I'll always remember him for History of the World Part I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DangerousDamon 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 My brother told me this morning. I couldn't believe it. I didn't even know he had cancer. He looked healthy in all of the commercials and stuff he's done lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2003 Hines was a very underrated actor. I highly recommend watching Tap with him and Sammy Davis, Jr. Great little movie. I'm also a fan of the episode of Amazing Stories he did as a magic show psychic, The Amazing Farnsworth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
