Paul Gleason, best known for playing the grumpy high school principal who presides over detention in the 1985 film "The Breakfast Club," has died. He was 67.
Gleason died Saturday at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank of mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer linked to asbestos, said his daughter. Although the cancer was diagnosed only a month ago, Gleason's exposure to asbestos occurred while working on construction jobs with his father as a teenager in the 1950s.
Awww, this is so sad. That is one of my favorite movies and it is definately a classic. Millions of kids have watched that movie and I know my friends and I watch it like 5 times a year, every year. We know all the lines and everything.
Goodbye Mr. Gleason, you were a great actor.
may he rest in peace ^_^
sad, but great movie
