    I was a cop in Oregon when Hines and D'Onofrio were making a movie in my town. There were about 5 of us assigned to traffic control and it was a grueling day. At lunch time the staff invited us to eat with them along with others in support roles. We had gathered out of the way of the stars and staff. Soon Hines came over to us and engaged us in conversation while he puffed on a cigar. What a truly great talent, conversationalist, and mostly a down to earth man. I loved him for that. Watching this made me misty eyed as my memories came back. God bless his children and I hope they know what a great man he was.

    A fine tribute Steve, nicely done. The last time I saw him was on Will & Grace, and then suddenly he was gone. This ones a REAL sad ending. 😔

    What an amazing talent! That dance scene with Hines and Baryshnikov was amazing and the highlight of the movie. I wonder if his cancer was very advanced at the time it was diagnosed.

    I loved Gregory Hines as an actor and dancer. And, I loved Luther Vandross!! My husband and I saw Luther live here in Atlanta, Ga. probably in the mid to late ‘ 80’s. They both passed away too young( in my humble opinion.) RIP to Gregory Hines, and Luther Vandross!🙏🏼🥰💝

    He was so cool. Loved his show even though it was short lived. I remembered him in a Christmas movie, I can’t remember if it was preacher’s wife. He was a mean guy for most of the movie and the singing of choir singing softens his heart in the movie. He was so talented.

    Wolfen. When I was like 10 I had a sleepover with my friend and in the morning he wanted to show me Wolfen. Idk why they even had that movie but this video just unlocked a memory. I just remember a hand flying in the air.

    His passing shocked me and this was the first time I heard he had liver cancer. I’m not 100% sure but I think I recall it was mentioned he had a heart attack on the way to the hospital? Regardless this one really shocked me, he was so young and seemingly fit and healthy. I enjoyed his work in movies and dance, RIP

    That’s really something to have danced with the talents of the Nicholas brothers and Cab Calloway and also the talents of this era. Did Richard Pryor get burned in a house fire or was that when his crack pipe exploded and burned him.
