“It doesn’t matter who you are,
at some point in everyone’s life,
we all screw a pig.”

Charles Grodin
Actor, author, antagonist.
April 21, 1935 – May 18, 2021.
Aged 86 years.

Most recognized for: Aside from notable movie appearances such as “Midnight Run,” “The Heartbreak Kid,” and “The Great Muppet Caper,” Mr. Grodin was a successful comedy writer and frequent talk show guest… where loved to play the provocateur. Visits with Letterman and Carson frequently ended in shouting, even with him getting “banned” from the show. And though it was all an act, the show’s finally over.
