Jeff Conaway, 1950-2011


Jeff Conaway, Grease costar (he had played Danny Zuko on Broadway) turned Taxi star turned sleazy movie auteur, dead at the age of 60.

I'm just sorry he didn't live long enough to fulfill the role he was born to play, starring in Torn and Frayed: The Life and Times of Keith Richards.

  1. I'm sure Conaway, somewhere, is most awfully pleased that you used that lovely photo, which makes Nick Nolte's old mugshot look like a circa-1955 Cary Grant.

  2. We're pretty much just emailing each other at this point, is that what it is? For all I know, you're even that 'Paprika' person. And Christ knows where Joe is these days.

  4. Well, you know, I've mostly been writing about The Twilight Zone lately, and Joe is more of an Outer Limits man.
