You're right. He could not have been sweeter, kinder, or funnier.By Ken Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305293821975250420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1139420148781603532006-02-08T09:35:00.000-08:002006-02-08T09:35:00.000-08:00Thanks, Ken, that was fun.

I'm jonesing to see the movie, now -- maybe I'll find the DVD somewhere for $1, too.<BR/><BR/>(For the record, I didn't <I>only</I> ask about the Burmese Prince. I was also interested in the Coke whoring, if you recall.) <BR/><BR/>More John Candy stories, please. Just remembering his face makes me smile. I doubt there was an unkind bone in that big body.Julie O'Horahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580655656385169632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1139383943221992172006-02-07T23:32:00.000-08:002006-02-07T23:32:00.000-08:00I did what turned out to be John Candy's last inte...I did what turned out to be John Candy's last interview on the set of WAGON'S EAST in Durango Mexico a few weeks before he died.<BR/>He had been ill and had flown back to LA for some kind of treatment, then back to Mexico.<BR/>It was an awful location in the middle of nowhere, hot, dusty. Oddly, he chose to stand while I interviewed him rather then use a director's chair (this was for a behind-the-scenes piece on the film which was shot on video).<BR/>He didn't look well and didn't have a lot of energy but agreed to the interview and never complained.<BR/>What I most recall was the fact that he was a VERY large man ... and his horse was specially chosen and also VERY large ... to support him.<BR/>Sweet man who was so gifted and left as way too early. May he rest in peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1139377440089506922006-02-07T21:44:00.000-08:002006-02-07T21:44:00.000-08:00I was just a kid when John Candy died, but I cried...I was just a kid when John Candy died, but I cried.
