LUKE PERRY DEAD!!!

Poor guy. Only 52, that's awful.

Simpsons out in front again!

Wtf? Fuck man.

this hurts

and Charlie Sheen still lives.

Why couldn't it have been Tori????

Had a crush on him in his 90210 days. RIP.

r5, I know, right?

Poor Luke. It sounds like his family took him off life support. Good for them for not dragging this out.

Well damn

No!!!

And yet Trump gets to live.

I'll Bet Brenda is behind this, and is after Kelly next.

They shouldn’t have let him watch “Leaving Neverland”!

RIP!!!!!!!!!

I"m soooo sad :((((((((((((((((((

Did he smoke? I guess strokes can strike anyone. He looks fairly fit but looks are decieving. It's sad. He's quite young to go like this.

Kinda was James dean of my generation ..crush on him and he had crazy girls show up for his mall appearance and they pushed security down..rip

What r9 said.

My mother refused to take her mother off life support because she was so Catholic, she KNEW she would burn in hell for the rest of time if she did. Two lives ruined. My grandmother hung on for eight years.

If I'd been older, I'd've taken charge. I wasn't.

Good for his family.

Let the "Did ____________ Tweet Anything Yet?" brigade take over.

Didn't Shannen say he was doing good?

R16, yes, he smoked when he was on the show

Watch Tori make this ALL about her.

Msnbc too😕

what was on his IPOD?

I would've thought Shannen with her multiple cancer woes would've gone first.

For R23 =

Wow! Wtf happened? Drugs?

The news that a heartthrob from my teen years is now dead of an age-related cause is genuinely shocking and sobering to me.

I'm almost 40, and feel like I have maybe 10 good years left. It's true what they say: as you get older, time seems to pass faster and faster.

From his iPod:

R26, he had a massive stroke a few days ago.

Very sad. Facially he looked much older.

Spare me the weeping and wailing! Nobody has thought about this guy since 1995.

I’m aware of that. Why? Drugs?

I cant believe it. wow. I was just watching reruns of 90210 yesterday on hulu too.

Was he still on Riverdale? I'm guessing if he was he'll be killed off.

Who?

R5, evil is hard to kill.

He was a has-been. Why all the fuss?

This will put a damper on the reboot.

R31, he was actually talked about a lot during the past month with the reboot. Either way it's shocking for a 90s preteen/teen, he was a huge icon back then.

As a millennial this is sad

After Jack is killed, while he's still in their cabana.

Holy shit. I don't know why but this has really hit me harder than expected.

Oh, SHIT. How awful.

52. Holy shit.

Well the Tarantino movie will be weird.

R42 MARY!!!

The Prodigy singer, Dylan form 90210. The 90s die today!

I'm guessing the 90210 soundtrack was on his IPOD! Featuring hits from Shanice, Jeremy Jordan, and Vanessa Williams!

Was this from another Brenda/Dylan breakup?

So young...

Oh no! Rip.

Fuck, I knew it. It's the same situation as with Carrie Fisher, where she died on the plane and they were just making the preparations to announce it to everyone. Someone suggested the same a couple of days ago in another thread and everyone went nuts.

My childhood crush. I felt the first homosexual stirrings in my pants when I was growing up and learning English by watching Beverly Hills.

Christopher Plummer will be replacing him on Riverdale.

I was just thinking that, R47. Keith from Prodigy kills himself and then Luke Perry dies. Not a good day for people who were teens in the 90s.

Can we have his stuff?

"He's so weird."

R53, I laughed.

No reason to hire Shannen for the reboot now.

The real tragedy is that it was not a fish instead.

[quote] My childhood crush. I felt the first homosexual stirrings in my pants when I was growing up and learning English by watching Beverly Hills.

That is so cool r52. What is your first language?

[quote]Christopher Plummer will be replacing him on Riverdale.

Figures. Get another white male for the job, when there are plenty of qualified transgendered women available.

R41, I stopped watching after Brenda left. Why do I think a song called 'can't cry hard enough' by the Williams Brothers played when Dylan's father died. I must be misremembering that he died, I just remember Dylan crying and that song playing over a montage.

Shame on you, R31, didn't you ever see Sunset Boulevard? If Hedda Hopper were here, she'd poke you with a hat pin.

RIP Luke

[quote]I would've thought Shannen with her multiple cancer woes would've gone first.

IIRC, her health improved a bit after having surgeries last year.

Any statement from big-dicked co-star Jason Priestly?

Shannon was interviewed over the weekend and she said nothing as none of the Riverdale cast did but you could tell from her face that it was bad.

RIP

Perry's publicist confirmed the death to the Associated Press, saying he suffered a stroke last week.

Didn't has race cars and have some huge accident that almost killed him a number of years ago? Maybe his health had always been 'compromised' since then?

The Like Perry is DEAD to me Troll is gnashing his teeth.

R70 I think that was Jason Priestly

R70, that was Jason Priestly. That said, Luke looked unwell. Certainly looked much older than 52.

90210 cast cursed?

He's only dead to us, OP.

I always get Luke Perry and Jason Priestly confused. Luke was the American one and Jason Priestly the Canadian one right?

Sad. I LOVED him on 90210. So much sexier than Priestley.

This would be a GREAT day to hit mom up for money.

R27, I'm sure every generation goes through this, but it does seem like the major stars from GenX are dying younger than expected, often from overdose or suicide.

His family, including his kids and ex-wife, were all gathered round, so his death has been expected since the initial stroke. Sad when anyone dies so young.

[quote] yes, he smoked when he was on the show...

But did he eat kale?

R76 Yes, Jason is Canadian.

R76 Jason is the BIG dicked one; Luke was the small dicked one.

Sad that the Republican at r61 is just using this as a chance to attack trans people. Go back to free republic.

I'm a Riverdale fan, R31. The show is a mess (which is why I love it) but he was integral to it.

He wasn't a has been. Check out Luke's IMDB. He worked a lot. At least he wasn't a baller, so the kids/wife/girlfriend should be well taken care of.

No pathetic GoFundMes like Chris' Dragon Lady and sister.

They have to bring it up in every damn thread, R84. It's a compulsion.

Damn. I had a feeling after the stroke news he wasn't going to make it. RIP

Wow, death of an icon. RIP

That is so sad, ya know not a single person anything bad to say about him through all his years in the industry. Everyone saw him as humble and sweet.

Shit! I never read the stroke thread. I figured it would just be tiresome talk about drugs and he would be fine. Sad. RIP

Luke always seemed like a nice guy.

If you look at all of the initial tweets from Hollywood actors (from all walks) after his stroke, it seems that Luke was really beloved.

What a bummer.

So young RIP Luke you are loved.

[quote]So much sexier than Priestley.

No, but he was good looking in his prime.

DL’ers finally realize how hard old they are.

Very sad news. :( Rest In Peace. Gone far too soon.

He looked really rough for 52.

I was in high school in the early 90s and 90210 was HUGE. If you're from my age group, you'll remember how famous Luke Perry was back then.

This is terrible news. I feel like taking to my bed and playing “Losing my Religion” on a loop.

He hid his real age for years. He was in fact 58.

Liar!

It would be inspired stunt casting to have Jason Priestly replace Perry on Riverdale. Archie's Dad goes into witness protection/is dismayed by his wrinkles/starts eating kale and comes back the same age but "refreshed".

R84 Go the fuck home. Not the time or place for your agendifying.

Was he Katie Perry's cousin?

Fifty two was right about the time I went on hypertensive medication. I tried reducing sodium, I lost 20 lbs (I only need to lose 15), I did what I could to lower my blood pressure naturally, but eventually I accepted that I would need to be on blood pressure drugs the rest of my life so I wouldn’t have a stroke.

Poor guy. He may have had an aneurysm or an AVM.

Really sad. Was hoping he'd pull through and make a full recovery even though it didn't seem likely.

"Go the fuck home. Not the time or place for your agendifying."

Looks who's talking. r61 started by bashing trans people in a thread that is not about trans people.

Oh my God! Which one of the Friends was he again?

I know r27. When famous members of your cohort start to die it's reminder of your own mortality.

Twice it hit me the same way as Luke Perry' death hit you: when Farrah Fawcett died, and, although she's still alive, something died when I watched Madonna's 2012 Super Bowl performance.

For you, r99

That hunky beach photo of Luke and Jason at R66 reminds me of something a 90s comic (for the life of me, I can't remember which one) said about the pair:

"They look like they have one brain between them. And four penises."

[quote] If you're from my age group, you'll remember how famous Luke Perry was back then.

I had fantasies about 3-ways with Luke Perry and Jason Priestly and also Johnny Depp and Dustin Nguyen from 21 JUMP STREET.

In those early years Fox has some sexy young men in their lineup

I read somewhere recently that Millennials will be shocked at the sheer volume of Boomer deaths, that it will feel like someone they know dies every other day, because of the massive numbers of boomers that will die in coming years.

I didn't word that very well but you get my drift...

I don't understand why everyone is so upset. Did any of you know him personally?

R107 I agree. So many have to twist a thread in a direction it was never meant to go to.

Luke was trans friendly from what I heard anyway.

R62, you may well be right. Here's that song. It makes sense.

[quote]and, although she's still alive, something died when I watched Madonna's 2012 Super Bowl performance.

lol, always a joy to hear from Della.

R61 Go home, too. Not the place for your original agendifying.

[quote]something died when I watched Madonna's 2012 Super Bowl performance.

This gave me a chuckle. :)

r113 Yeah, but even more shocking if it's Xers themselves.

She looked like a nearly dead 85 year old woman. Quelle surprise.

He's always looked so much older than his age -- The Simpsons had a joke about it where a star who looked like Perry was described on the red carpet as "The star of the most popular teen show on television. He's hot, he's sexy, he's 37!"

I guess for Riverdale that means Archie's mom, Mary Andrews (played by Molly Ringwald) will move to Riverdale for good.

[quote]While I didn't know Luke personally, his death upsets me greatly. It's always tragic when a former teen idol dies unexpectedly. RIP, Luke.

Maybe he knew he wasn't living long so why not smoke, drink, hang out in the sun so who cares if you look mid 60's when you're 52 if it's almost over.

I was hoping he'd be ok enough to make an Anicin commercial. ANNNICIN....Fight. Pain. And. Win. Patricia Neal

Was he in anyone's Celebrity Death Pools or whatever they are called (betting on a celebrity dying this year)? Tragic and so random.

God he was hot

That’s two dead today from the 90’s

R114, it’s the shock of a “teen idol” from the 1990s passing in 2019, albeit he always looked (and was in fact) older, gets us all thinking about our mortality.

Same age as me. It's true, We Gen X'ers seem to be dying off at a fast clip.

Sorry for Luke, he was a crush for a generation of Gen X boys and girls.

Damn. ™

Speaking of Jason Priestly, I can't even tell you how many times I put the VCR on slo-mo and spanked out a load to this scene from the movie Calendar Girl as a horny teen.

Meanwhile, Keith Richards is still going strong. It just goes to show that you can never tell when your time is up.

Considering all the crap we Xers have ate since the 80's i wouldn't doubt we die younger than prior generations.

I know this sounds cruel, but nothing makes you more aware of your own mortality than one of your teen idols dying.

Luke Perry seems to have been pretty short, based on some of these photos.

So sad, missed the prime fifty years of his life.

[quote]That’s two dead today from the '90s.

Who's the other one?

I guess he really, really wanted to get out of his Riverdale contract.

To make this all about me, I’m turning 52 on Friday, I should probably start taking better care of myself.

I guess he really, really wanted to get out of his Riverdale contract.

Careful what you wish for.

[quote]Considering all the crap we Xers have ate since the 80's

Oh, dear.

R139 Keith Flint, singer with 90s dance band The Prodigy (“Firestarter”, etc). .

For the "Did ___________ tweet yet?" set.

And Jerry Lee Lewis had a stroke a few days ago, R134, and he's expected to make a full recovery, the 900-year-old murderous ghoul.

Luke Perry has a role in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" set for release later this year, plus more episodes of #Riverdale Season 3

Luke Perry on Another World

Keith Flint killed himself this morning at age 49

IWHSHC.

Does K.J. Apa need consoling, i'm available if needed.

Seeing pictures of him makes me genuinely sad.

I met Luke Perry in ‘06 - he came home to Ohio to campaign for Sherrod Brown (Sherrod’s father, a Mansfield doctor, delivered Luke).

Luke did events across Ohio. We offered a driver, but his high school buddy drove him in a beat up car. Zero ego.

I’m very sorry for his family.

He really looked sick toward the end.

Rest in peace.

I just got a "thought of you" tweet.

I really loved 90210, especially Dylan.

It’s ANACIN, R126

Was it drug related?

I wasn't really touched by him, but his death at such a young age saddens me. RIP

Wow - so young to die of a stroke. That said I'm a couple years older. If you go by family history my father had his first heart attack when he was 42. I never had one. And my risk level for stroke is low. Plus my genome says I'm good to 100+ years. So there's that.

Perry had the same gray look that James Gandolfini had in the years before his early death.

Awful news. I loved Luke Perry as a kid. I loved him in Terminal Bliss. I actually just watched it in youtube.

R27, you think you have 10 good years left???

Sweetheart, listen, take GOOD care of yourself. Change your eating habits if they’re poor, stop smoking if you do, cut back on the booze or entirely stop drinking if you drink, and start exercising everyday. Also, take really good care of your teeth and gums. You have much longer than 10 good years left. Geez!

I’m really sorry to hear this. But it wasn’t likely he’d survive a massive stroke at any age, especially if he smoked and had underlying heart/circulatory/respiratory conditions that he wasn’t aware of.

Fuck. RIP, dude.

AIDS?

He was rumored to have a huge dick, but I guess he could not last forever.

I can't stop crying (though it has nothing to do with Luke).

R165 You didn’t see it in Oz?

Why are you crying, then, r166?

I think his father died quite young, 35 or 36 if I recall correctly. I believe it was heart related.

Very sad to hear that he could not recover, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

Sounds like he popped a big blood vessel in the brain and couldn't come back from all the damage done.

As a tail end boomer, this makes me sad. He has a large age range of fans from Gen Z to boomers.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R153’s linked story reminds me that I worked with his best friend’s fiancée at the height of Luke’s fame. It really did sound like he never forgot where he came from. She said he would just hang out like a townie, eating dinner at the parents of friends and cruising the town and cornfields.

I think he was going to be their best man.

DL called it, as always.

Still prepared for that sponge bath here.

Very sad

Has only lady Gabrielle Carteris commented?

Have there been rumors of a drug problem? He's looked really really haggard beyond his years and exhausted for a long time

52 is crazy young to die of a stroke, in this day and age.

Handsome as hell guy. Thought I preferred Brandon.

Damn. I had the biggest crush on him in the Buffy movie he did. Ten year old me started wearing wife beaters because his character wore them.

I rented this movie so many times.

RIP Luke

R178 No. If he did, he hid it well. Known to be very professional on sets and no drama that often comes with addiction.

R172, beauty is ephemeral.

Dorky looking guys get better looking with a little grey hair.

Gorgeous ones often do not age well.

We're waiting, Susan Dey.

Trivia: my sister's first husband was born and raised in Fredericktown, OH.

[quote]If I'd been older, I'd've taken charge. I wasn't.

You can't just "take charge." If there was an advanced care directive giving control to your mother, the doctors have to follow what she says (assuming it follows the wishes of the patient.)

I wonder if he was in AF.

If he was in AF & didn’t know it, he could’ve shot a clot to his brain and had a stroke.

I fancied him in Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Poor guy, on 52

Very sad. RIP Luke.

So fucking sad. Perry was one of the few celebs you never heard a bad word about. No diva antics or shitty behavior, etc. He just seemed like a nice, decent guy.

I feel like he was once pals with Chris Farley. Remember seeing a photo of them hanging out together back in the 1990s.

I may be wrong.....

This is sad. Farley looks beyond awful.

His haggard appearance could have been due to the same underlying health problem that also contributed to the massive stroke. People can have health problems that aren't drug related. It could be a combo of smoking plus genetics. Most smokers don't die at 52.

His father, a steel worker, died of a heart attack at the age of 36. Yikes. Mother still alive.

Very sad to hear this. He did seem like a normal, nice man. Not an A list star, but a true working actor.

Have we yet to start judging people's grief levels by who tweets?

Cool photo of Luke when he hosted SNL in the early 1990s

Anyone have him in the celebrity death pool?

[quote] Mother still alive

Oh that's heartbreaking. No matter how old, parents should not have to bury their children

[quote] Kinda was James dean of my generation

Well, that's even sadder than his death.

Jason will be the Chiller autograph show in Jersey next month. I'll probably ask him about it.

[quote]No matter how old, parents should not have to bury their children

I agree. It's far less mess to hire someone else to do it.

Sad news :( Rest in peace.

[quote]His father, a steel worker, died of a heart attack at the age of 36. Yikes.

That is very scary.

Agree with r201

Luke really was considered the James Dean of the 1990s. And his heartthrob career lasted for at least a decade. He may not be an A-List in recent years, but he did once reached those heights.

R27 has to either be joking, or just a moron.

[Quote] Oh that's heartbreaking. No matter how old, parents should not have to bury their children

Some now believe people shouldn't even have kids due to our planet's impending doom, so maybe this was for the best.

Thanks R206, that was funny.

[quote]His father, a steel worker, died of a heart attack at the age of 36. Yikes. Mother still alive.

I wouldn't be surprise if heart disease was part of the family history on his fathers side.

It must be just awful bring the family of a celebrity who dies, what with all the millions of people who want to get in on the whole death dirge.

HA! And they thought I'd be next!

Dylan says goodbye:

Cardiologists call steel workers their bread and butter -- or did, before the steel industry got sent abroad.

R178. Yes, he was a chain-smoker.

Kpop is trending and not Luke Perry. OK then.

Fuck this world for caring more about a stupid kpop boyband than the death of one of the most famous actors of the 90s.

Never mind, he just trended. Still, sad it took so long. Fucking gen z. This world is doomed.

Not at all joking, R207. Do you disagree that the best part of most people's lives happens before age 50?

What’s KPOP?

I'm coming for Tori next.

It's been trending in the US for over an hour. It's not our fault you live in Incheon.

R27 I'm 32 and I feel the same way.

He was beautiful. RIP

R222 Fuck off. I have the trending page set to worldwide. I don't give a shit what happens in my lame country. Luke was trending for a while, then he wasn't. KPOP however was trending. Then Luke was trending again and kpop wasn't.

R216, it depends on your set location. He's been trending in LA for hours now, along with Keith Flint. No K-Pop group on the list, at least not yet.

He seemed like a nice, normal guy, as opposed to the rest of the cast.

Very sad

I'm telling you. When you do your death list one of your picks has to be someone completely random and out of the box. There's always someone surprising.

His sister Katy must be so sad right now.

@IanZiering 2 hours ago

Dearest Luke,

I will forever bask in the loving memories we've shared over the last thirty years. May your journey forward be enriched by the magnificent souls who have passed before you, just like you have done here, for those you leave behind.

^^^ that make zero sense

Fish Oil People. SERIOUSLY.

R231, try Google translate, Kimchi.

That gray, colorless looking skin in his later photos is smokers skin. Lack of circulation causes the skin to thicken and lose color. It's the same reason smokers lose their teeth, not enough blood circulation in the gums. It's happening to all soft tissue, the brain, heart etc. Smoking is slow suicide.

[quote] Do you disagree that the best part of most people's lives happens before age 50?

Nonsense! I didn't get my best part of my life until I was 51

Was he a big cokehead? Cocaine abuse puts you a higher risk of a stroke.

Well, I'm 43. He was my teen idol. I remember I never missed one 90210 episode . RIP, Dylan McKay.

Are the rumors true that it was while he was watching “Leaving Neverland”???

Luke is now one of the billions of souls who know what happens to us after we die.

The Disinformation Queen at R238 and a few other trolls here are a strong argument for authentication on DL.

[quote]I read somewhere recently that Millennials will be shocked at the sheer volume of Boomer deaths,

He was Gen X though.

[quote]Luke is now one of the billions of souls who know what happens to us after we die.

Or not.

[quote] His father, a steel worker, died of a heart attack at the age of 36

That’s what made me think of AFib. There is something called familial atrial fibrillation

This is very sad. I’m 42. I grew up with BH 90210. It premiered my freshmen year of high school and ended my last year of college ( I took some time off between h.s. and college). I truly grew up with that show. Never missed a episode. Poor guy.

That said this feels like a kick in the ass for me. I’ve been depressed lately about my age and feeling like I’m too old to find happiness or have any fun. But all I can think now is how Luke Perry was still so young to die. It’s time for me to snap out of it and be more optimistic about my future.

[quote]Luke is now one of the billions of souls who know what happens to us after we die.

He's dead, he doesn't know anything anymore. Knowing requires brain functioning and his brain will never function again. Those of us who are still living, however, know. The body decays, its molecules are rearranged, and the matter that once made him up goes on to other uses.

R123 FWIW (and for those who actually ever give a thought to Riverdale), I believe you must be correct and Molly R will be asked to take a recurring role as Archie’s mom. They can’t recast the role of Archie’s dad and there’s no plausible reason for him to leave town, so he will have to be killed off as tastefully as possible I suppose.

But a spirit lives forever r245.

There's no such thing, R247.

R247 Sure, Jan.

Does anyone even remember?

Did Luke ever present hole?

Well that does it. I'm refilling my Lisinopril prescription.

Kristy Swanson R250 what a cunt! (allegedly)

The reaper has passed over the likes Roseanne, Rosie O'Donnell, John Goodman, Oprah Winfey, Gabourey Sidibe, Keith Richards, Belinda Carlisle, Valerie Harper, Ed Asner, King Kong Bundy, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Chris Christie, Newt Gingritch, Rush Limbaugh & Donald Trump today.

R250 I remember it but I'd rather not.

How is his wrestler son holding up?

he had a hot ass.....

He's hanging in there, R255.

Smoking kills.

R240 = Sheenis Jenner

She's an obnoxious born again Trumper on Twitter R253. No allegedly about it.

RIP Luke!

r248 = the expert on everything.

Oh my God, r257. LOL!!!

He's fine!

He sends his love!

I never have seen 90210 but I liked him as the hot gay nerd on will and grace. RIP cutie

Every single time we get no news or fake PR news for an extended period without any further updates, this is the inevitable outcome. Call it Joan's Rule, Carrie's Rule, or Luke's Rule, but from here on out it's a fucking RULE.

Be hot in peace, Luke. You were a good man.

Will there be an autopsy ?

R246 I think it's best when TV shows write the death into the show. It's weird to have them just move away. The audience knows they're dead. It's disrespectful to recast a dead actor on a TV show.

His co stars are very upset.

R269 he must have been a great coworker the anti Jusslie.

@ThomBierdz

I am no longer jealous of Luke Perry.

12:30 PM - 4 Mar 2019

r195 a lot of old factory workers died of "heart attacks" young. Those were the most unsanitary, polluted, disgusting places I've ever been around(I grew up in Gary, Ind). It could be genetic but maybe not.

I’m so devastated over this. I was hoping Luke was going to pull through.

Wow r200 Roberta McCain is still alive and that old? sorry to thread derail I was just shocked to read that.

somewhat on topic: Mansfield OH where Perry was born is a lovely small town. Stopped there often as it's the halfway point between Cleveland and Columbus on 71.

He only did one nude scene.

He has been looking as crumpled and weedy as dead Bing Crosby this last decade.

R274 she sure is still alive.

And apparently is still sharp

And so many evil people are still alive.

I saw him at a soap fan event back we he was starting out on the soaps. I always used him as a reference when I said how most celebrities I saw were so much tinier in person. He had a small narrow frame, and his signature furrowed brow lines even then. He was good-looking and reminded me of James Dean. I can see how he was often cast in that sort of "Rebel role. "He was nice to everyone there. Sad news.

Back in the day he was roommates with Alexis Arquette. Now they're roommates in heaven.

[quote]And so many evil people are still alive.

Not me!

Gabrielle's statement

Dearest Luke- I am so heart broken and at a loss for words. You my friend were a mighty soul and have left your mark. My love and prayers to the family and all who loved you. RIP

My father had a major stroke in his late 40s, and a second one that killed him at 52. He wasn't a regular smoker, but he was an alcoholic. Just saying.

Where's Tori's statement??

He looked like crap for 52... lots of 🚬🚬🚬🍺🍺🍺🍸🍸🍸🥃🥃🥃🍻🍻🍻🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾

I guess Cher will be saving herself forever now...

[quote]It's disrespectful to recast a dead actor on a TV show.

I don't see a problem with it.

R24, thirtysomething taught us life is unpredictable

A good The Guardian article:

"Perry never quite escaped the shadow of Beverly Hills, 90210. But this was not a failing – it was proof of how seminal the show, and Perry’s handsome rebel Dylan McKay, was to a generation"

It makes me sad ho many of you are commenting on his looks. I know this is datalounge, but I bet any of you would have loved to have had the life his young, good looks afforded him. He certainly had his day and deserves better than wrinkle talk.

Sorry, I forgot to link the article:

[quote] Call it Joan's Rule, Carrie's Rule, or Luke's Rule, but from here on out it's a fucking RULE.

The Carrie Fisher Rule

Loved Luke's cameo on The Simpsons as Krusty the Clown's "useless" half-brother.

You were one of the good ones. Rest well.

I had the BUFFY poster on my wall as a preteen. I would just stare at him and melt at how cute he was. I never watched 90210. I thought he was gonna pull through. I knew a family friend who had a stroke because she was an alcoholic. She lost her speech and everything. The bitch recovered and went back to drinking! She still drinks to this day and is one of the funniest people ever. So I did not expect him to die. And yes I loved when he went full nude on OZ. Sad. RIP HOTTIE. 💔😢

[quote]Wow - so young to die of a stroke. That said I'm a couple years older. If you go by family history my father had his first heart attack when he was 42. I never had one. And my risk level for stroke is low. Plus my genome says I'm good to 100+ years. So there's that.

How did you get your genome report? Which service did you use? I’m 39 and in shape, but I wonder if I eat too much saturated fat and suffer from too much anxiety. My family on my dad’s side suffers from high BP.

Luke Perry was so skinny!

In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE Garth said: “My heart is broken. He meant so much to so many. Such a very special person. I share my deep sadness with his family and all who loved him. Such a terrible loss.”

Very sad. I wonder what his BP was? He had the best health care, I assume, so why wasn’t any risk caught early?

He was a great man and fuck.

Better to die early, rather than be sick. Only the good die young. Please don't tell me he was a deplorable.

Vale Luke

I have a vague memory when Jennie Garth was going through her divorce he was really supportive.

[quote]Very sad. I wonder what his BP was? He had the best health care, I assume, so why wasn’t any risk caught early?

I’m sure his doctors never told him to quit smoking.

The band “Journey” meant so much to me growing up, I literally cannot breath now! But I WON’T stop thinking about tomorrow, it will soon be here!

Just drop dead, ignorant fool at r37.

I wonder why he never Botoxed the wrinkles away?

R294, it's more important to lead a healthy lifestyle and get your regular check up!

Just a simple physical. get a blood test, they can find out a lot and put you on meds if you need it.

" I remember one occasion when he brought his Golden Retriever to the Hallmark offices with him and, as you can imagine, I was pretty excited to play with the dog.... At the Winter TCA party Hallmark threw in 2011, it became my job to hide Luke's cigarettes so Jennie Garth would stop breaking them in half and throwing them away. I ended up taking half his pack home with me by accident and I'm not gonna lie, I enjoyed having "Luke Perry's smokes" in my purse for a week."

From a friend in the biz. Sounds like his smoking caught up with him in the worst way. Jennie tried.

I think being the first of the 90210 crew made this a bigger deal. Shannen and Jason might get similar rumbles when the reaper comes for them but...sorry Tori

Seemed to me, everyone always said he was a nice guy and Shannon was the bitch, who got along with no one, except Luke.

R16 Decieving?

I before e except after c, whore!

with madonna:

I hope the Riverdale Wrestling Team does a shirtless calendar to honor Luke’s memory....

Leonardo DiCaprio

@LeoDiCaprio 51m51 minutes ago

Luke Perry was a kindhearted and incredibly talented artist. It was an honor to be able to work with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his loved ones.

I’ll take his cigs

....

Was he bi ?

I think the thing that made him memorable was that his beauty - such as it was - seemed completely unaffected and realistic. Jason Priestly looked like a movie star. Luke Perry looked like the guy who fixes your car and is really amazingly hot except you never think about it because he's fixing your car. There was just something approachable and down-to-earth about him. I think this was borne out in real life as he never seemed to display any ego or bad behavior even when he would have been given tremendous leeway. As the only member of the cast who was able to get along with Shannon Doherty, he seemed like a peace-maker. I'm sorry he went so suddenly and so soon.

If he had been cast as James in the original Twin Peaks...

Stroked out on very day reboot was announced!

He was the Robert Pattison of his time

Young Luke Perry on Another World——Before 90210!!

Perry had a colorectal cancer scare in 2015, when doctors found and removed precancerous growths from the actor.

“If I had waited [to be screened], it could have been a whole different scenario,” he told Fox News in 2017 after making a recovery.

The close call forced him to nearly give up his love of red meat.

“I have significantly cut down on the amount of red meat that I eat,” he said. “I used to be like a steak-and-potatoes-every-night kinda guy, now it’s just for special occasions.”

Sounds like he's been punishing his body for decades R320. And given what happened to his dad, that seems especially unwise.

R319 Dylan McKay was at the Snowflake Ball? Oh, Daddy.

He left me ALL his money and If the will says otherwise it’s a FRAUD!!

If only he’d had you, r321, to set him on the straight and narrow.

Why couldn't it have been Kristy first???

I told my students Luke Perry died and they had no idea who I was talking about. Then I showed them a picture and they were shocked. Apparently he had an important role on Riverdale.

The re-boots have generally been not worth the time effort and money... Luke Perry was just another Hollywood fart layer that passed his expiration date and needed to get a real job

Another World = Teenage Luke Perry at the 4:23 Mark .....

r327 felt clever and ejaculated as he hit post

Unlike many television actors, Luke Perry's celebrity and fanbase straddled generations.

Those who grew up in the 1990s will remember him best as brooding heartthrob Dylan McKay in Beverley Hills, 90210.

But many younger fans know him as Fred, the father of Archie Andrews, from comic book adaption Riverdale.

Since news of his death broke on Monday, fans young and old have been sharing their memories of, and warm encounters with, the late star.

Both Shannon and Luke were denied the reboot. No coincidence he had a stroke the day it was announced he was out of the project.

Because of his role in Riverdale R331 and the scheduling conflict he had agreed to appear not as a regular in Beverly Hills, 90210. Quit making shit up R331. He was scheduled to be in a few episodes.

Luke Perry’s death made me cry. I’m quite depressed about it. I cried at Michael Jackson’s death, Prince.

And Whitney.

He didn't do BH 10 years ago either. He said he didn't want to be part of the show without Aaron Spelling that it wouldn't be the same.

His fiancé looks ancient too...

I’m wondering whether it’s a legacy of partying in Hollywood at the height of his fame?

I mean - he smoked - he probably enjoyed a drink - he looked skinny as always - but appeared about ten years older than his actual age. And yeah - his dad died young - so possibly just genetic... but:

I saw stats that said something like a thousand people under thirty have strokes in the uk every year - attributable to coke use. And there were rumours after Robin Williams death that many big Hollywood and New York scene party people from the eighties and nineties were now starting to get anxious about the effects of earlier excess - Parkinson’s has been linked to heavy coke use - heart problems - stroke...

He was one of the most famous people in the world at the height of his fame - and you know coke was available freely at parties and places he went to - and it certainly got a grip on people he worked with like Doherty and Chris Farley...

He might have not used it for years - but maybe - given a genetic predisposition - it contributed to this?

Party hard as you like kids - but just remember - it always comes at a cost...

(And if he never touched the stuff - ever! - then I apologise and stand corrected. But face it - it was endemic at the levels of fame in which he moved - the cool kids were all doing it! - who among us wouldn’t have been tempted to join in and try just a little toot or two...? )

my daughter is the same age as Luke. She had a stroke 6 years ago. She never smoked and never used drugs. Her prognosis was a nursing home for the rest of her life and she would never speak again. If you didn't know her before the stroke you would never know today that she had one. She works for a company in which she worked with people all over the US and Canada. They rallied around her like you wouldn't believe. I attribute her recovery to all the support she received. (and God)

Credit the human beings R339 But good for her and you

R338 that was a lot to type and then to be immediately discredited in the following post.

Smoking = Bad

Drinking = Bad

Smoking + Drinking = (Bad)^47

Bet he did a lot of coke too in the eighties that shit was STRONG

R340 STFU. Don't tell her to not give credit to GOD just because you don't believe. How dare you annoying fuck.

[quote]Do you disagree that the best part of most people's lives happens before age 50?

People aged 65 to 79 'happiest of all', study suggests.

R52 Yes you were right. Let me give you a heads up for the future(when hearing about people who have had a stroke, heart attack, accident etc.)

If CPR is being administered, the patient victim IS dead. You do not give CPR to someone having a pulse or is breathing.

No pulse+ no breath= DEAD. IT is possible to keep the blood flowing to the brain through CPR until the victim can be treated by an MD with advanced equipment and procedures, but again, they were DEAD. You are merely keeping them from becoming hopelessly brain damaged by doing CPR.

It never fails to amaze me that so many people don't truly understand what CPR is.

I am going to tell my Mom that this guy died today. It is the only way she really knows who Luke Perry is. He was there for her first NASCAR race. It was a gift from me since she is a fan. We were pretty close to him here.

Really sad. RIP.

Oh no, RIP.

Thanks for the memories of my youth, Luke!

He got to enjoy his youth as a gorgeous man who was lusted after. That’s more than most of us

[quote]r38 This will put a damper on the reboot.

But it gives them a jumping off point for a TV reunion.

[italic]"Tonight, on a very special episode of 90210..."

[quote] my daughter is the same age as Luke. She had a stroke 6 years ago. She never smoked and never used drugs.

Birth control pills?

[quote]r47 The Prodigy singer, Dylan form 90210. The 90s die today!

For Our Dylan

R153, this is absolutely OT, but what is the deal with Sherrod's voice? Was he sick or does he have some chronic illness? It's like fingernails on chalkboard. If it's just from lack of mindfulness, shame on him.

r340 She was in Vegas on business and was at dinner with coworkers and the owner of her company when she had the stroke. She was actually dancing when she started talking gibberish. They immediately got the paramedics on standby and the paramedics said she wasn't having a stroke. She was taken to a specialty stroke hospital where they said she didn't have a stroke. THREE hours later they said she did have one. Too late for the medication right after one has a stroke. I will attribute it to her support and God.

Please do not disturb Miss R327 from her dinner of fresh feces.

I’m very cautious about attributing anyone’s recovery to God because it’s actually an insult to those who don’t survive their illnesses. When I hear folks say God cured their cancer it hits me because in that case God decided to take my brother at 42 away from his daughter and God decided to give my mother an agonising death from lung cancer......some things are better kept to oneself I think.

Luke doesn’ t look well to me in recent pictures. I wonder if he had underlying health issues or perhaps hard living caught up. A lot of straight men avoid doctors and never get a check up even if they have excellent health plans and most smokers I know avoid the doctor because they know they will get a hard time and be told to quit. So who knows if he was getting checkups.

He dated Madonna for a bit and gave her the AMFAR award of courage for her AIDS reasearch work in 1991

It's on YouTube

Madonna researched the aids? Biggest joke ever.

[quote] So who knows if he was getting checkups.

Christ, all of this theorizing about "why" Luke Perry suffered a fatal stroke at 52. He's dead. Does it really matter? All of the retroactive health advice on this thread isn't going to bring him back. But I suspect a lot of it is from people reassuring themselves that the same thing could never happen to them, because they don't smoke, do drugs, eat dairy products etc. etc. etc.

[Quote]Christ, all of this theorizing about "why" Luke Perry suffered a fatal stroke at 52. He's dead. Does it really matter?

Since people are interested in it and want to talk about it, then yes that means matters to people.

R360, couldn’t agree more. People who attribute their recoveries to God, support, their strength, etc, piss me the fuck off. It’s a crapshoot and nothing more

Damn. It should have been Matthew Perry instead.

R365 I think it shits on the medical professionals and the supportive people in your life when you're just like "Jesus did it"

And R363 maybe Luke dropping dead like this will inspire people who are afraid of the doctor to get more regular checkups. Forewarned is forearmed

[quote]It should have been Matthew Perry instead.

Katy Perry.

[quote]Forewarned is forearmed

Clicheing is as clicheing does.

GOD can do whatever he wants when he wants. Deal with it. You're not in charge. It is what it is. It's life. We ALL must go. Some earlier than others. It's not a crapshoot. It's not for you to understand. Doctors can only do so much and still can't explain why some people get certain ailments and others don't. Why some beat it and some don't. Why some survive a stroke and some don't. Be mad all you want to. If you stick around and/or make it through an illness you be thankful. Appreciate the people while they are here. GOD can change it up at any time or not. Bottom line. Be pissed off all you want, it's not gonna do anything for you.

The wit on this thread the last few posts is as dead as Luke

[quote]It should have been Matthew Perry instead.

Matthew Perry will probably be the first Friends cast member to die.

WHO WILL PLAY CLINT EASTWOOD IN THE CLINT EASTWOOD BIOPIC NOW?!?

Rare @FOXLA interview asking a very young Luke Perry about fame,

Perhaps this had been covered but isn't it a bit odd that there's been no comment from Priestley, Garth, Doherty or Spelling or Austin Green? Are they annoyed he wouldn't do the reunion?

Is there any poster more annoying than the "Why haven't ____________, __________________, and _________ Tweeted yet about ___________?" poster?

Luke Perry dated Madonna? I did not know this.

Any comments from Stephanie Beacham? Josh Taylor? Heather McAdam?

R377 tell me which dicks in Hollywood she hasn’t sucked or fucked?

Remembering Luke in Will & Grace:

That poor Prodigy singer

[quote]I’m very cautious about attributing anyone’s recovery to God because it’s actually an insult to those who don’t survive their illnesses.

I feel the same way about “X fought bravely and beat cancer.” My mom “fought bravely” against cancer but it killed her anyway. That doesn’t make her a loser!

That was bound to happen, it's pretty sad to see a bunch of aging gays this upset about an old person dying. And yes he was over 50, and if you think that is young you're wrong. It's the age when people start dying off.

R375 I can imagine they are all pretty devastated. It would be unseemly, at least to me, to tweet when his body is barely cold.

Oh bless your dim heart r383.

I just FF’d R383.

That Prodigy singer was married to an Asian. Hmmm....killed by the closet?

Garth released a statement to People.

Link please r388?

Garth Brooks making it all about him as usual.

Well her latest album was a flop and she couldn't hold her hubby Russell Band. I must give her credit missy looked great for 52. RIP dear.

Who knew he was such a Luke Perry fan??

I'm a little older than Luke Perry and did a lot of coke in the 80's with my fast living friends. None of us party like that anymore and we are all still here...and we are all healthy and one reason is none of us smoked. I wouldn't blame this stroke on 1980's coke snorting, the brain is neuroplastic and can recover from that, smoking, otoh, is like playing with the devil and if he had a family history of heart disease, well, odds are not in his favor. Really sad, he seemed like one of the few nice guys in Hollywood. Cigarette smoking must be one of the hardest habits to quit.

R399 Thanks for posting that!

I WILL NEVER DIE, BITCHES!

I posted on the other thread when it was first announced Luke Perry had a stroke. I won't repeat myself, but I knew what the protocol was since my mom had a stroke and I dealt with the doctors. I knew with a massive stroke he couldn't recover. One thing I learned, I always thought swallowing was a natural reaction, and found out it is a learned behavior.

Anyway, with my mom, knowing the condition she was it, I would tell her it was OK to let go. I was fortunate she had a living will and quality of life was important. Unlike Luke my mom survived for almost three weeks. The doctors ignored her living will and I had to get attorneys involved to make them abide by her will. She died a day after my birthday. Although painful, letting someone know it is OK to go is one of the best gifts you can give them.

r403, I'm sorry for the loss of your mother, that must be so painful. It must be hard to see the news about Luke Perry having lost your mother to a stroke.

Thank you R404. There are so many insidious diseases that most of us would say we don't want to die of. People need to be aware, just because someone has excellent health insurance doesn't mean they take advantage of it. Most of us probably would have to admit we don't see the doctor often enough because we are feeling good.

I didn't follow Luke's career, but I saw a clip someone posted from Riverdale. He didn't sound good to me, but that obviously is in hindsight. I feel for his young children.

r395, I don't know if they were friends before, but Luke has a supporting role in Leo's next film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, due out this summer.

Too soon to start guessing the next two, if we are going with the "they come in threes" thing?

....

Is anyone else a bit surprised by the level of grief outpouring? It reminds me of Robin Williams (RIP) or MJ (rot in hell)

Dear God:

We'll trade you a Rick for a Luke.

Sincerely,

RIP.

The devil keeps the evil ones alive.

R409, I didn't watch the local or national news, was it a top story? Personally, I think this is a huge deal for the younger gen xers. Tributes were all over my FB timeline. I mean Leonardo DiCaprio even paid tribute to him. 90210 was huge and stars were iconic back then, less so now with all the tv options. So Perry is a part of a lot of people's childhood. I doubt 25 years from now anyone will remember the young stars of Riverdale. He was way too young to die, especially from a stroke.

For people around his age it's just a reminder of our mortality in a way that an OD or suicide wouldn't be. He didn't seem old enough to die from a stroke.

R363, it matters if it will help someone else from making the same stupid -- and really inexcusable -- mistakes. I can't believe anyone smokes these days, let alone smokes 3-4 packs a day. This isn't 1959...

I don't think his children are children.

R415 You have so so so much left to learn about people it actually is kind of charming. You may get an extra ten years on me (I quit smoking five years ago after thirty-plus years) but it's not like they're the fun ones.

R416 his oldest is 21, which is somewhat young to lose your dad

yes, r412, because God needs the good ones somewhere else.

Yes R417, it’s important to continue the cycle of ill health for generations to come. I can see where we all have so much to learn from you. So wise.

He probably had erectile dysfunction, since he had vascular problems and was a heavy smoker. Just saying...

[quote]Too soon to start guessing the next two, if we are going with the "they come in threes" thing?

Please let it be Bernie Sanders.

R421 Just say yourself into oblivion you dumb fuck.

I've come to the conclusion that it really does come down to genetics more than anything else. I've known too many healthy people who did everything right who died young, and too many hedonists who lived to be old.

R423 is triggered. Just saying...

Why couldn’t it have been Ian Ziering instead?

Should have been Tori Spelling.

I went to Tori Spelling's twitter and then her website to see if she posted anything. Took me to this. So odd.

Is Tori still young enough for another pregnancy...so she can die in childbirth?

[quote]"Just saying" has been over for 8 years.

And even before it was over, it hovered between dumb and meaningless. (And no, I'm [italic]not[/italic] going to end by saying it.)

Smooches r430!

Strokes happen to even young people. I know a guy who is 32 now who had one about 3 or 4 years ago. He’s okay and on medication, but you just never know.

It will be interesting to see if they do an autopsy and release details of his physical condition.

I don’t think I’ll watch the re-boot because Brian Austin Green treats his son like shit. When his came out, he was pretty much disowned.

I had a neighbor whose sister had a stroke in her 30's. He said to everyone she seems "normal," but he can tell the effects of the stroke. I never went further with the conversation. with him.

R433 in English, please.

[quote] Why couldn’t it have been Ian Ziering instead?

If only because the way he pronounces his name.

r433 Wait, what? Could you please point me to an article that shows BAG to be a cunt like that? I had no idea about his kid. Receipts please.

R437 aren’t his kids like under the age of five? Oh wait he has a son from a previous relationship, but still—He and Megan dress his little boys like girls and do pap strolls with them. I would think having a gay son would be gold to those to fame whores.

Shannen Doherty says she is "Heartbroken. Devastated by the loss of my friend" Luke Perry. "Luke reached out to me during my cancer journey and we picked right back up," she said, adding that they were "working on show ideas" together before his death

Blocked R 435.

I only met him once but the story is too good not tell given todays sad events. My wife and I are on a plane back from Mexico. Couple of rows ahead of us, these two brothers, young kids, are beating the hell out of eachother. Their poor parents are power…

It’s his older son with Vanessa Marcil I never heard it was because the kid came out, but because of a bitter custody battle with marcil and maybe the kids desire to live with his mother.

In a 2010 interview with Mike Hughes, a syndicated columnist, Perry said he still lived a simple life, like the one he had in Mansfield and Fredericktown. It was a bit unusual to his Californian neighbors.

"I think I'm the only person on the block who does his own gardening and cuts his own grass," Perry told Hughes with a laugh from his Hollywood home. "People drive by and wonder what I'm doing."

^ explains all the wrinkles, smoking and lots of outdoor work give one that oh-so blue collar leathery complexion. He stayed thin though, I would have still gone a few rounds with him. Bless his heart.

R441, the most unbelievable part of that story is that Colin Hanks flies economy.

David Silver has a gay son? Whom he disowned. We think not.

R403 Bless you for loving your mom enough to fight for her. I watched my mom go, too, and had to make that final decision for her. Excruciating and I miss her every single day, five years later.

Luke Perry is forever our heartthrob. 💗 From a teen idol on ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ to a top TV dad on @CW_Riverdale, he captured the hearts of generations of fans. We're celebrating the actor’s life with a special online tribute:

I think the point here isn’t so much whether not he smoked too much or didn’t avail himself of good healthcare. My BIL died three years ago: started talking gibberish to a neighbor who got him to the ER within ten or fifteen minutes and never woke up again. He was 53 and in excellent health.

What we can all learn from this is to get your affairs in order so your family doesnt have to jump through hoops - while they’re confused, frightened and grieving - to honor your wishes.

Why do fraus take a thread about a celebrity death and make it all about them and their personal tragedy?

I'd long aged out of teen soaps by the time 90210 came on the air, so never watched it and knew nothing of Luke Perry's life until now.

What a nice guy -- I feel sad I missed out.

[quote]I'd long aged out of teen soaps by the time 90210 came on the air

What "teen soaps" preceded 90210?

TFOL

TFOL?

Entertainment Tonight Canada requested comment from Jason Priestley - word came back that he is to devastated to release a statement at this time.

Fraus gonna frau

It should’ve been Kanye not Luke.

OK, first off MARY! I had zero reason why any of these actors would fuck me up if they died. I did think Shannen was going to be the one to go, if that. I was never a "rabid" fan of the show until I guess I was. I had a hot relationship that was tied into the show. He was younger than I was. He always made those shitty Pillsbury cinnamon buns before we watched the show. It was cozy. I feel sad as fuck, and no apologies for it. He was one of the best lays ever, but I digress...

Were the 90210 actors actually still close or even real friends?

[quote]His fiancé looks ancient too...

Wait, he was engaged to a guy?

I was never a smoker but I loved a lot of smokers, I miss it.

[quote]Too soon to start guessing the next two, if we are going with the "they come in threes" thing?

I think Luke was the third. Katherine Helmond died days ago, then Keith from Prodigy, and Luke.

Wendy Madison Bauer, fiancée.

A lot of people loved him...that says a lot about the guy.

Charlie Sheen has healthy genes.

Lowlife Trump is healthy...he will live to be 90, unless an angel finds a way to kill him.

Yes Trump looks sooo healthy. He should be on a cover for a mens fitness magazine.

RE: fiancée [bold]Wendy Madison Bauer[/bold]

I find his face very consoling and caring. He just looked like a decent, kind bloke.

Luke & Jason

So Sad.

Wasn't his now ex-wife a fan who pretty much stalked him and ended up marrying him and giving him two kids?

I think that was in Vanity Fair r472. Or Interview.

Jason Priestley must be heart broken. When he had that horrific NASCAR as ident, remember Luike flew there that night!?

*sorry I meant NASCAR accident.

RIP. Luke seemed like a nice enough guy.

Why don't horrible people die prematurely?! How did fat Trump make it to 71 on a fast food diet? It makes no sense.

The fact that a filthy pig like Trump still lives is more proof that in many cases the good die young. I hope Trump lives to be 100 and his last 25 years or so are filled with physical misery and his body and mind deteriorate. I want his demise to be long, slow, and painful.

Jason must be devastated. Still hasn’t released a statement.

Sorry he's dead, I suppose, but face it. Luke was hideous and way overrated as an actor. Never saw the appeal of this poor man's low rent James Deen.

Why the fuck couldn't it have been goddam Amber Heard?

Hey, R481! Straight frau and complete bitch here, one who genuinely thinks that folks generally need to be left to do what pleases them, so long as it hurts no one else. I will never see the appeal of your low-rent attitude, your inability to correctly spell an icon’s name, or your need to say ugly shit about one of those all-too-rare indivials who apparently treated everyone he encountered kindness and respect, and who left his loved ones far too soon. You, sir, should go fuck yourself, and maybe consider staying the fuck out of threads if you can’t come up with something decent to say.

R482 Mr. Depp?

Brava r483!

r479, agreed. It actually pains me that a genuinely kind, decent person like Luke Perry (and who didn't advertise his kindness) gets taken from us while a narcissistic, lying, sexist, racist pig continues to live.

I hope Trump is incarcerated for the rest of his life in solitary confinement, in a bunker on Attu Island, the only window facing a marble slab upon which is his phone, just out of reach.

r486, won't happen.

Two words that automatically disqualify everything that comes after: straight frau. It's always fun when straight people invade a gay site and then tell gays what they shouldn't post.

The family did indeed wait for everyone to be by his side before taking sweet Luke off life support. His daughter had to fly to LA from Africa where she was doing charity work.

R489, Straight frau from R483. Point taken. I have never posted here before, and never will again. I was wrong, I have no place to say anything here, or anywhere else really, for that matter. Best wishes to all of you on DataLounge.

R206 By comparing him to James Dean, he now fulfills the died too young requirement as well.

Its astonishing that Demi Lovato, Charlie Sheen and John Cougar Mellencantstopsmoking have all outlived him.

R491 Demi is like half his age!

R483 don't let some jerk run you off this board. You seem like a nice caring person and we need more of those around here, gay or straight.

I love that someone actually described themselves as ‘Straight Frau.’ Please tell me your name is Debbie.

[quote]I hope Trump lives to be 100 and his last 25 years or so are filled with physical misery and his body and mind deteriorate. I want his demise to be long, slow, and painful.

I hope so too. I have seen a few situations in which awful people's last years are spent in physical misery. I had a great uncle who physically and emotionally abused his family. The last ten years of his life he dealt with cancer, dementia, and a stroke.

My partner's paternal grandmother is a very nasty lady. She emotionally abused her kids and three of her eight kids have zero contact with her. My partner's father has a distant and limited relationship with her. The grandmother is 85 and has been wheelchair bound for the past ten years due to a stroke. I have a few elderly relatives around her age and they are quite healthy and they are good people. So sometimes good people do live long healthy lives. But, yeah it does piss me off that some awful people live longer than some good people.

OT; What I really want to see is after Trump is gone from Washington and is deeply into dementia but with just enough lucidity left to realize what's going on, and his two corrupt sons maneuver things so that he is kicked out of the day to day management of his company leaving it to them to run while he sits at home watching those two run the company into the ground. I want to see the whole lot of them having to declare personal bankruptcy before Trump croaks. If the feds could find enough crooked goings on in the company to arrest them all and take the company away from them would even be better.

Trump will live happilly ever after. He has a charmed lif.

LIFE

Um...Luke Perry, anyone?

[quote]r494 I love that someone actually described themselves as ‘Straight Frau.’ Please tell me your name is Debbie.

Too late. She was chased away.

ANIMALS!

She seemed more like a "Julie".

R501 with either short Down syndrome bangs or the ‘I need to speak to your Manager” rooster hair helmet.

R492 Demi is only half his age but has really struggled in the 2010s with with bipolar disorder, addiction, an eating disorder, and self-harm.

I don’t understand how Trump is still alive, while Luke Perry is dead, unless it’s a karma thing and he will spend years in prison, in disgrace and poor.

Stop bringing Trump into every fucking thread! Jesus Christ you fuckers are obsessed.

R505 Stop bringing my lord, Jesus Christ, into this fucking thread!

[quote]Lots of celeb reactions. Didn’t realize he and DiCaprio were friendly

The had just worked together on Tarantino's new film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".

I wonder if Luke’s lifestyle caused his death? Can a stroke be prevented? Is it hereditary?

I still can’t believe he’s gone.

R449 he’s so cute in that gif

Why did it have to be Luke and not Kanye or Kum. Luke was good.

R502 has me crying with laughter!

R513 shut your mouth.

I'm old enough to remember Dylan's father as Chris Crotcheyscratch on one of the soap operas.

I hated how the show brought Dylan's stupid dad back from the dead and it was revealed he had a new wife and kid which pissed off Dylan.

Titus Welliver sounds like a dick. “He’s a few feet shorter than I am”- no, hon. An inch. And miles better looking.

Yes^ u can prevent strokes..lose weight, quit smoking, get cholesterol right...

I know everyone says only good things after someone dies, but damn if I haven't fallen a little in love with him these past few days. It may be my fear of commitment, but he sounds perfect. His poor fiance and family.

I actually liked that his fiancée was age appropriate and whoever said she looked ancient is an idiot. When I read he had a fiancée, I was expecting a 30 year old, who looked much younger. He would've looked ridiculous if that was the case because he looked way older than 52.

I came across pictures of his brother and sister and they are both overweight , maybe 50 - 75 lbs overweight. I’m only mentioning it because Luke was thin, it makes me think his smoking contributed to his stroke. 😭

Jason Priestly never issued a statement?

R523 Entertainment Weekly Canada said they reached out to him but he was too devastated to release a statement.

Was there any drug rumors on Luke?

[quote]I came across pictures of his brother and sister and they are both overweight , maybe 50 - 75 lbs overweight.

Now that surprises me. Usually weight issues—or more appropriately eating habits, poor or otherwise—usually run in the family.

R524 is he devastated about Luke's death?

r527, no, just about life in general.

He’s devastated because they keep switching the flavor of Coca Cola, Rose.

I really like his daughter's statement. Very impressive for an 18 year old. I hope people leave her be.

He looked depressed in some of the pics I’ve seen of him. I wonder if he suffered from depression.

I don't think he was depressed. I think he was just a man who had a very calm, cool demeanor. He never seemed the type who automatically went into the celebrity Cheshire cat grin routine when a camera was pointed at him, like so many in that business do .

He also gave his kids normal names, not weird attention seeking stupid Hollywood names. It makes him even more likeable.

Also he didn’t try to Trans his young kids, like so many Hollywood parents do today.

R534 He was close friends with Alexis Arquette, they were roommates back in the day

Oh STFU R534

Some updates. It was as we thought, re: the hopeful sedation, and then five days later, pulling of the plug.

So fucking sad.

Considering the family has been tight-lipped about the whole thing I will take that with a grain of salt R537.

Both his children have now made statements R538

Dame Edna's bridesmaid, Madge, had him bound and gagged on a bed back in his peak hotness period (on a failed special). Wearing boots, no less. Many of us were very happy. RIP, Luke.

And I've read them R539. They don't discuss his stroke and what care he was given.

Why did Luke look so unhealthy ?

[quote]Why did Luke look so unhealthy ?

Because he was. His vascular system was likely in as bad condition as his skin was.

Because he was 52 smoked a lot and until a few years ago, described himself as a steak every night guy?

It was more than likely the smoking. His siblings are pretty overweight and they out lived him.

So sad.

He quit smoking years ago I read. I know heavy smokers who are in their 70's same with drinkers. Life is not fair .

I saw a video of Luke's house in Sherman Oaks. I also live there and his neighborhood looks familiar. Does anyone know of the exact address? I think it's up the hill from one of the weed stores.

Oh, I love him. Teen crush, followed him on IG and enjoyed his mature, wry smile and twinkle in his eyes. I know it’s extremely silly to say I love him, but after reading about his kindness and decency, that’s how I feel.

He looked ashen in recent years but I still thought he was sexy.

Rest In Peace, dear man.

Do the Osundairo Brothers have an alibi?

❤️ r549!

imo, youn tell from thier statements that he was closer to shannen than jennie these past few years. jennie's was quite generic while shannen's was personal.

It took the tragic death of Dylan McKay to uncover the truth. Jennie Garth was the real cunt, not Shannen. I knew it.

R555 they were young, popular, incredibly famous and overpaid so they probably all took turns at being cunts. Except the one that played Andrea since she was lucky not to be cut from the show.

R556 agree. I think they were all divas.

Goddamn, Mario Batali is still alive and Luke isn’t.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

They were not overpaid. They had shit five year contracts. So no one was making bank until 1995. Same with Melrose Place, which is why there was a mass exodus in 1997.

Jason Priestly releases a statement:

“It’s taken me a couple of days to figure out how to write this,” Priestley began. “My dear friend of 29 years, Luke Perry, was one of those truly special people who really cared… Luke was not only a star, he was an incredibly bright light that was extinguished far too soon… and that is why I, and so many others, are in so much pain today.”

“If you had the good fortune to know Luke, or to have ever crossed his path, I know you are sad today as well,” Priestley continued. “The candle that burns twice as bright only burns for half as long… you burned oh, so brightly Luke… Goodnight Sweet Prince.”

So Priestley was devastated over Luke's death. Someone above said it was because of the flavor of Coke,

Fuck off r561

One of 90210's writer/producers Larry Mollin did a real dishy interview a few years back where he said that the cast who stayed on after their initial 5 year contracts, HATED doing the show but the money was too good, they also objected, Luke did himself in Entertainment Weekly in 1994, to the show going from a realistic family drama/afternoon school special feel of the early years to an all out Melrose Place style nighttime soap opera during the college/post college years

In fact Shannen claimed she wasn't fired but wanted out of her contract after she found the direction the show was going in wasn't for her, she said she quit because "I didn't want to be on a soap opera anymore".

^^Holy run on sentence, Batman!

It’s really hitting me today.

What's hitting you?

Jason’s comments made me tear up a little bit.

You assholes are cruel.

568 Fuck Off!

Well, it is true the show sank after they graduated from high school. I couldn't stand Dylan and Kelly either. Nobody had a problem with them betraying Brenda. I know Shannen was on the outs with everyone in those days, but that was terrible writing. I stopped watching before it got OTT bad.

Incidentally, when I was 20 in 2000, I had a crush on a 34-year-old co-worker. He had bright blue eyes, honey blond hair, and was just striking. Eventually, we started hanging outside of work. Anyway, that spring his wife held a party in honor of 90210's series finale. I think even if the show had gone off the rails, it still had a devoted following.

Something about this is fishy. He looked a bit rough in his final days. Could cocaine be responsible for such a massive stroke? It could, couldn’t it?

Honey, he’s been technically looking rough since 90210. His incredible beauty let him get away with his grill pan forehead (which I though was the sexiest and most manly thing ever). Luke Perry was never going to age well.

He looked ashen last year at comicon . Why didn’t anyone insist on him seeing a doctor?

[quote]r560 Jason Priestly: “You burned oh, so brightly Luke… Goodnight Sweet Prince.”

Should have a comma after brightly.

[quote]r570 Well, it is true the show sank after they graduated from high school ... terrible writing.

[italic]WHAT ? ? ?

R542 Maybe because he was about to have a massive fatal stroke?

Shows about high school always lose their way when the kids go to college -- remember, many of the producers went to college on the subway, so they can't fathom dorm life or frats.

[quote]remember, many of the producers went to college on the subway, so they can't fathom dorm life or frats

Darren Star went to UCLA (from Potomac, MD).

Chuck Rosin went to Berkeley (from BH 90210).

Larry Mollin went to Georgetown (from LI).

He was a lifelong chain smoker y’all. That ‘s what really kept him thin. 30 years of cocaine would have just bankrupted him (eg Corey Feldman and Corey Haim)

R580 someone up thread said he quit years ago.

People (especially men) who are thin and very lean almost always age quicker than others. They have very little fat layer under the skin to keep the wrinkles away. As they age and the skin begins to crepe (as it does with most people) it really takes a toll on their looks.

[Quote] someone up thread said he quit years ago.

That someone said "I read it somewhere" without a link.

Luke smoked like a fiend until the end.

And you R583 don't have a link to he "smoked like a fiend until the end."

Yes, he may have quit a few years ago but decades of damage has already been done and he ate a lot of steak until a few years ago too when they found precancerous cells when checking his colon.

Is he gonna be buried or cremated?

r582 Luke Perry's wrinkles didn't make him look bad, it was his skin color that made him look unwell.

He said he was the only homeowner who did his own lard and garden work.

^in his SoCal hood

R587 best post this yr!

Did he try tube steak👅👕👖👔

[quote]they were young, popular, incredibly famous and overpaid so they probably all took turns at being cunts. Except the one that played Andrea since she was lucky not to be cut from the show

I think Shannen was the one who got a lot of heat for cunt behavior, but somehow the others didn't. Jennie was known to be bitchy to female cast members who were added in the college year seasons like Tiffani Amber Thiessen, Emma Caulfied, Vanessa Marcil and Kathleen Robertson. I think it was Tiffani and Vanessa who said in interviews that Jennie didn't like them.

Jenny does seem like an insufferable cunt irl.

On Jenni’s reality show on CMT about 7 years ago, she was a total asshole and looked like shit.

New thread when this one is closed.

Bump

R596 thanks
