LOS ANGELES, California — Comic actor Harvey Korman has died at 81, according to the UCLA Medical Center.
Harvey Korman’s death comes after complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Korman died at the center four months after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
“It was a miracle in itself that he survived the incident at all. Everyone in the hospital referred to him as ‘miracle man’ because of his strong will and ability to bounce right back after several major operations,” said Korman’s daughter, Kate Korman. “Tragically, after such a hard-fought battle, he passed away.”
Thank you Harvey for some of the best moments I’ve had with my clothes on. The only shame of his life is that so many Washingtonians took him seriously as a role model. I’m going to show my old student ID at the movies in his honor.
Could you repeat that, sir?

Shame. I liked Korman too.
I remember so many incredible moments from the Carol Burnett show.

Yeah, but what if he lived as long as George Burns?

One of my favourite HK lines, from High Anxiety, I believe, and impressed upon me at the age of oh, eleven or so:
“Easy, easy! Easy! … Too much bondage, not enough discipline.”
~To Nurse Diesel
It took me at least a year to figure out what it meant, and seriously warped my young mind and morals.
How do you thank someone for a gift like that?

Ok, but what if George Burns wished he only lived til 81!

But he didn’t; he went out kicking and screaming from what I remember. He twice played God. He was daring the Big Guy to come down and get him Himself.
