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.
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 my cousin's best man at his wedding, know buddy in family new they were friends. My cousin said I met him the late seventies play in Vegas, we never worked together but just hit it off like we new each other are whole life. He was the. Most genuine person I ever met.
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.
What an incredible talent he was. He gave we many a glimpse at an earth angel flying by in such beauty and grace. May you rest in peace, Mr. Hines. Thank you for lifting our hearts and our horizons. ❤️🙏
I love tap dancing! I took lessons but was never near the caliber of Mr. Hines!! I can dream, though! 😂 Gregory had a full life & career. Cancer sux! It was fitting that the USPS honored him a stamp. RIP
I remember him passing away. Didn't know he was sick. Big shock. Seemed like such a healthy athletic guy. As the man said, you don't know the day or the hour. How much time do you have? Or even what time it is
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.
I recall the Michael McDonald video he was in with Billy Crystal. He looked just too skinny to the point of possibly being unhealthy. Turns out that hunch was right.
