Porn star Jerry Butler, 58, supposedly of pancreatic cancer. He worked a lot in the 70s and early 80s, then wrote a book, Raw Talent, which pissed off a lot of people in the business, so work kinda dried up. Apparently, he moved back to the East Coast after that and became a bus driver in Brooklyn. He was married to Lisa Loring, who played Wednesday Addams on The Addams Family TV show.

John Mahoney was also great as the Faulkner character in Barton Fink - “Where’s my honey?” - and as the out-of-tune dad singing along to “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” in Say Anything.

Great comment about Mahoney
A great actor, gentle man and wonderfully private person in our celebrity-nutty world, telling me some 20 years ago, "I used to crave publicity. I now turn almost everything down. I would rather walk across broken glass." https://t.co/L9QkwwwNQf— Rick kogan (@rickkogan) February 5, 2018
