Donald O'Connor dies at 78
The name probably doesn't sound familiar to many, but if you've ever seen the amazing classic "Singin' In The Rain," Donald O'Connor is the man who nearly stole the whole damn thing from Gene Kelly with his number "Make 'Em Laugh," which must be seen to be believed in terms of his amazing acrobatics and pratfalls.
If you haven't seen "Singin' In The Rain," you owe it to yourself to check out this masterpiece, newly remastered on DVD. You'll understand what I'm talking about.
A great performer. RIP Donald O'Connor.
