Videomania 1985 - Brewster's Millions

Here's another nice item from my collection; an issue of Videomania from fall 1985, Canada's Number 1 Video Magazine.

Besides the wonderful photo of John on the cover, this magazine offers an article on the movie 'Brewster's Millions' to promote the MCA Home Video Release. For the most part it concentrates on Richard Pryor's career and the movie itself. However, John definitely gets positive attention in a paragraph too. He is praised for his work in 'SCTV' and his moviework. A wonderful photo of Richard and John accompanies this article.

61 years ago today...

61 years ago today our beloved John Candy was born. He left us much too early on March 4, 1994. Since then the world has become a less funny place.

Let's hope the interest in John will continue to grow. He deserves it, being a comedian and actor on par with all the other greats.

Jim Candy (1947-2011)

Jim Candy, John's older brother, passed away suddenly on April 16, 2011 at Toronto East General Hospital after a short battle with cancer. He was 64.

May Jim be reunited with his brother John and his other loved ones.
