Donald O'Connor Died

I never realized that Donald O'Connor never got an Oscar. He was so wonderful in Singing in the Rain and other musicals. Always funny.

And he apparently kept his sense of humor to the end. His last words were:

"I'd like to thank the Academy for my lifetime achievement award that I will eventually get."

He was one of my dad's favorite actors, too.
