Another Hollywood Death

The recent announcement of Cory Monteith's death in a hotel in Vancouver, Canada seems to follow a long line of tragedies in Hollywood. Tragedies of young men and women passing away at the prime of their lives and their careers for that matter.

I hate to say this but the shock of such incidents is starting to have a less of an impact on many people. It seems that Hollywood actors and actresses seem to live a fast life, glamorous and pompous, but almost always tragic. Is there a price to fame?

Admittedly Monteith's acting and singing skills were something to be admired. His role in "Glee" have given viewers a refreshing perspective on modern television's penchant for reality shows and unscripted skits. When "Glee" broke into the television market a few years back, I saw something unique yet classic, entertaining as much as it was fused with socio-civic values and insights. It was a show about the show we all know too well, the drama of modern life.

Monteith will leave a scar on "Glee," its actors and support staff as well as the viewing public. He will be missed, but he surely made a mark on all of us. vaya con la paz.
