Dr Jack Kevorkian has long been one of our heroes, and we’re delighted to see that HBO is making a TV movie of his life starring Al Pacino, frivolously titled “You don’t know Jack.” (We love Al, but we hope he doesn’t ham it up too much.) Dr Kevorkian’s courageous and logical support for the right to die for terminally ill people earned him 8 undeserved years in prison. A glaring injustice. Hopefully this prestigious TV movie directed by Barry Levinson and costarring Susan Sarandon and John Goodman will open a few eyes on this battle to legalize doctor assisted suicide. We’re grateful that 81 year old Jack Kevorkian is still around to see this movie happen.

AL PACINO ON A HOT SUMMER DAY

Al Pacino has always been something of an oddball dresser – he constantly wears layers of black – even to the beach. Suddenly we realized that in this photo he reminds us of Larry David’s buddy on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”Richard Lewis. They both have that rumpled, frazzled, slightly neurotic look. Al Pacino’s movie with Robert De Niro, “Righteous Kill” is also coming out September 12

AL PACINO MAKES A POINT OF BUYING HIS OWN LIGHT BULBS

Staffers at Light Bulbs Unlimited in LA on Beverly Blvd, just LOVE it when Al Pacino comes in. They say he’s a steady customer – recently he bought lots of twinkle lights for his patio. (We were surprised to learn that Al buys his own light bulbs and doesn’t send a minion.) The light bulb salesmen are always happy to see Al because frequently when he comes in, he lays a hundred dollar bill on the counter and says ” Lunch is on me.” He sends someone next door to Hirozen, to pick up excellent Japanese food for all the employees.

We never get tired of running into Al Pacino. Here he is walking in Beverly Hills with a taller unidentified friend. The Godfather and Scarface legend doesn’t get photographed much, so each picture is a nice little treat. Al has a penchant for wearing black, usually punctuated by some kind of scarf, and he’s always rumpled. We can live without the orthopedic shoes, but he still looks fine.
