Professor Irwin Corey
 |
"Professor" Irwin Corey would appear on various talk shows and film cameos and to look at him he was the apparent intellectual and knower of all things, much like Lonnie J McCall — whom I sometimes THOUGHT knew all things.
Unscripted and spontaneous he could drag a laugh from my exhausted carcass every time and I grew to appreciate that satire of confusion which was a lot of his material. Some of the seriousness portrayed was likewise totally hilarious.
Anyway he passed last year at 102 years young and was just as funny at the end as he was in the beginning of his 75 year career as a stand up comic, film, and screen actor.
Rest in peace and keep them laughing in Heaven.
