Curse of The Simpsons Movie

Hal Fishman, longtime LA TV anchorman, and one of the models for Simpsons TV newsman Kent Brockman, died this morning, a few days after a sudden diagnosis of colon and liver cancer, and ten days after the opening of The Simpsons Movie. The other longtime LA TV news anchorman who helped inspire the Brockman character was Jerry Dunphy. He died five years ago!
