Comic Rodney Dangerfield Dies in L.A. at Age 82
Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his spokesman said.
A veteran Las Vegas headliner and TV variety-show fixture who became a pop culture sensation in middle age with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, Dangerfield died at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery on Aug. 25, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said. Dangerfield suffered a stroke following his surgery in August and "developed infectious and abdominal complications from which he did not recover," Sasaki said.
Some of my Rodney favorite lines:
I'll tell ya, my wife and I, we don't think alike. She donates money to the homeless, and I donate money to the topless!
My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
With my dog I don't get no respect. He keeps barking at the front door. He don't want to go out. He wants me to leave.
