Kelsey Grammar Has Heart Attack

from huffpost:

LOS ANGELES — A spokesman for Kelsey Grammer says the "Frasier" star is recovering in a Hawaii hospital after a mild heart attack this weekend. Stan Rosenfield says Grammer is "resting comfortably" in an undisclosed hospital after being stricken Saturday. Rosenfield says the 53-year-old actor will be released early this week.

Rosenfield says Grammer _ the star of "Cheers," "Frasier" and the recently canceled Fox sitcom "Back to You" _ was paddle-boarding with his wife, Camille, when he experienced symptoms.

The couple lives in Kona, on Hawaii's big island.

Rosenfield says Grammer was immediately taken to an area hospital where it was determined that he had suffered a "mild heart attack." The spokesman says he is unaware of any history of heart trouble for Grammer.

No history of "heart trouble" but long history of coke abuse, that can't be good for the ticker! Glad he's okay though.

Yeah, I was never a regular viewer back in the day, but it's a fine "go to" sitcom in reruns these days when time needs wasting.

He's only 53?!?! He looks 65-66 in that picture.

Really? I don't think he looks that old.

I'm glad he's okay, too. He is Sideshow Bob, after all. I know how ghoulish this sounds, but I seem to recall he was a popular candidate for "dead pool" type stuff, i.e. betting on imminent celebrity deaths. Or maybe I'm just half-remembering a conversation I overheard once.

I watched Frasier quite a bit and thought it was good. It definitely ages better than Cheers.

I too, am glad he didn't kick it.

Landshark said...

Agreed, D, about Frasier aging well. Better than Seinfeld, imo.
