City Slickers and Mob Movie Favorite Bruno Kirby Loses Battle With Leukemia, Horses
Topic: Dead People

One of our favorite lines from any movie comes early in City Slickers where, riding horses, the three NYC gents are discussing a pretty blonde girl that is on the cattle drive with them.  The following exhange is classic:

Billy Crystal: "That was just a 'Hi, how's it going?'"

Bruno Kirby: "No, that was a 'Hi, I like your ass. Can I wear it as a hat?'"

Kirby passed away at age 57 after a long battle with leukemia.  One of his first film rolls ever was in Godfather II, and he has also appeared in films such as Donnie Brasco, When Harry Met Sally and Good Morning Vietnam.  He was last seen playing the quite nuts creator of Shrek on the hit HBO program Entourage.

Rest in peace, Bruno Kirby.  We'll always remember the horrible sound effect they used when Sonny Black backhanded your nose in Donnie Brasco.  It sounded like someone was hitting a bag of potatoes with an aluminum bat.
