Bernie Mac Dies at 50
Comedian Bernie Mac died of pneumonia at age 50 early Saturday morning.
His rep released this statement: “Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago-area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”
Mac, who was nominated for Emmys in 2002 and 2003 for The Bernie Mac Show, was admitted to Northwestern Memorial hospital for pneumonia on August 1 and was expected to make a full recovery.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Bernie, his family and friends.
RIP.

I ont know him but still may his test b successful
Rest in Peace, Bernie.
Una pena. Raro que se fuera tan luego.
What sad news and what a shock. Loved him in the Ocean movies. May he RIP.
What a shock. How very sad when someone seems to have achieved so much to be then cut down at still an early age (we’re the same age and trust me 50 WAS old once upon a time but not now in 2008). I had pneumonia once and I believe it was mostly because I smoked. One thing I learned is the combination of smoking when ailing with a lung infection or flu can turn into pneumonia that at best will leave you with scarred and sensitive lungs. Don’t smoke.
rip bernie mac. God comfort his family. he was a great talent.
I knew something didn’t sound right when they said he was doing better but would be in hospital for weeks more. My condolences to his family. He was a funny man, but more importantly, people who know him said he was a great husband and father.
RIP you’ll be missed .My prayers to you and your family..God bless
By all accounts, Bernie was a wondeful person to work with and supportive of other actors be they new or in the business for awhile. As for the racist douchbag comments (and yeah I know its a white person) you obviously don’t know the mans comedy routine because it was not all about the differences between white people and black people. That was D. L Hughley moron. Bernie was a great actor and if you ever saw any of his work you would know that. His sitcom was based on his own life. He did take in his sister’s children when she had problems. That was the kind of human being he was. Something people like you will never comprehend.
RIP Mr. Bernie Mac.
bernie mac rest in peace, make God laugh..
He was very funny and will be missed. R.I.P.
Wow, I can’t believe it? He was truly a comedy legend and will be definately missed.
Rest in Peace Bernie!!!
I am in shock just watched oceans13 the other day god bless and my prayers to his family.
When I first heard the news I had been awake like 2 minutes. I still couldn’t believe that he had passed. I thought he was hysterical in Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle and of course in his TV show.
He was a funny and talented man who went far too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this difficult time.
R.I.P. Bernie
He will always be one of the greatest kings of comedy and he will be very missed.
