Overview (3)BornFebruary 17, 1919 in Chicago, Illinois, USADiedAugust 23, 2001 in New York City, New York, USA (lung cancer)Height5' 8" (1.73 m)Mini Bio (1)
Kathleen Freeman's introduction to show business came very early in life. Her parents were vaudevillians, and she made her debut at age 2 in their act. Later she attended UCLA with intentions of becoming a pianist, but was bitten by the acting bug and never looked back. She gained experience on stage in various stock and repertory companies, and made her film debut in 1948. One of the most memorable character actresses in recent memory, her stocky build, incredibly expressive face and hearty laugh have kept audiences convulsed for decades, playing a variety of neighborhood gossips, busybodies and eccentrics. Memorable as Sister Mary Stigmata ("The Penguin"), Dan Aykroyd's and John Belushi's nemesis, in The Blues Brothers (1980). She was used as a comic foil by Jerry Lewis in many of his films, always to great advantage. She did much television work, playing in everything from The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961) to Gomer Pyle: USMC (1964) to Hogan's Heroes (1965) to Married with Children (1987), where she was the voice of Peg's monstrous but never-seen mother, Al Bundy's nemesis. She was working on Broadway in a production of "The Full Monty" when she died of lung cancer in 2001.

Belushi was brilliant and funny af. One of the original SNL "Not Ready For Prime Time Players". Every actor on that lineup, from Dan Aykroyd to Gilda Radner, their guest hosts, from George Carlin, to Richard Pryor, Buck Henry, Mel Brooks, Lily Tomlin, etc, were ALL funny af. Few (with the exception of Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo, Dennis Miller, or Norm MacDonald) could replace them as one by one they all moved on. Today's lineup? Not even remotely close. Too bad he had to speedball it all away.

Yeah - I kind of remember it... long time ago. Doing drugs till he crashed and burned - I think he keeled over with an overdose or a heart attack....... Or was it suicide? No matter. He came, he went, and is now dead, buried and gone.

My buddy and I would stay up folding the Sunday morning papers for our route while watching SNL back in the 70's. Then go out and deliver them at 1 or 2 am afterwards. Couldn't finish folding them by the end of the show, so would end up watching "Soul Train" till we finished.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: He was doing what was called "Speedballing", mixing heroin and coke either smoking in a pipe, or injecting through a syringe. That night might have been the "straw that broke the camel's back", but he was an addict for quite some time, and it all finally caught up to him.

@sauger1001: I think speedballing was doing one, then the other, to go from the extreme one direction, to the extreme in the other. I never got that hardcore, so I could be wrong.

The coroner's office disclosed today that John Belushi stayed up all night drinking and taking drugs and showed signs of an overdose several hours before he was found dead in a Hollywood hotel bungalow March 5. In a 21-page report, the office confirmed that the 33-year-old actor died from ''acute cocaine and heroin intoxication'' and that his blood contained 0.407 milligrams of cocaine, which the report said was an extremely high level. Results of blood tests for heroin have still not been disclosed, but the report said there were traces of morphine and said he had ''multiple fresh needle puncture marks'' on both arms. The coroner, Thomas T. Noguchi, disclosed in a short statement last Thursday that Mr. Belushi died of ''an overdose due to intravenous injections of heroin and cocaine.'' The new coroner's report also disclosed that the actor, who was 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 222 pounds, was in very poor physical condition, suffering from congestion of the lungs, liver and spleen, swelling of the brain, an enlarged heart, aortic arteriosclerosis, a distended bladder and obesity. The report, including information from a police investigation, says that Mr. Belushi spent the night before his death at a private bar above the Roxy nightclub, where drug use is not permitted but where he was reported ''drinking heavily.'' The report says Mr. Belushi and a friend, identified by the police as Cathy Smith, a backup singer for rock groups, left the club about 1 A.M. and drove back to his hotel. It said the actor ''needed assistance'' to get into his room, where he ''immediately went to the bathroom and vomited.'' Miss Smith said Mr. Belushi ''appeared pale and sweaty,'' but after a few minutes ''began to partake of the wine and cocaine again,'' the report said. More Friends Visited It also said that other friends, who were not identified, arrived at the bungalow about 3 A.M. and stayed for half an hour. After they left, ''the ingestion of the liquor and drugs apparently continued,'' the report said. Mr. Belushi complained of hot and cold flashes before falling asleep about 8 A.M., the report said. About 10:15, Miss Smith looked in on him, ''saw he was covered with a blanket and appeared sleeping,'' so she left to get something to eat, taking his car. Mr. Belushi's physical therapist, William Wallace, arrived at the bungalow at 12:30 P.M. and called paramedics, who pronounced the actor dead 15 minutes later. Miss Smith, 34, was taken into custody when she drove up to the hotel a short time later but was released after questioning. The report said she gave officers a plastic syringe and a metal spoon.
