Comedian Bernie Mac Passes Away at 50

Bernie Mac will probably be remembered as that comedian that played memorable roles in box office movies such as “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and the all-star films Ocean’s Eleven. With a flourishing career, Bernie Mac passed away Saturday at the age of 50 due to pneumonia complications at a Chicago Hospital.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

Mac was in a class of his own. He had his share of great roles as well as starring alongside current and future stars. He was truly one of the “Original Kings of Comedy” and will surely be missed.
