Famous for his role in Beetlejuice, Shadix also played a highly quotable character in Heathers, where he uttered the words, “a society that tells its youth that the answers can be found in the MTV video games.” Shadix, who hopefully has gone to join “that that righteous dude who can solve their problems: it’s Jesus Christ, and he’s in the Book”, was found dead in his Birmingham, Alabama, home on Tuesday at the age of 58.
The feisty and reclusive author of “The Catcher in the Rye” died yesterday at the age of 91. He claimed that he continued writing for himself, which could mean he has been sitting on decades worth of unpublished works. I guess we will have to wait and see if this is true.
