Conaway Done Gone Away



Jeff Conaway, high on life and such, has died. His acting career spanned all genres. From the smug and cocky Kenickie in Grease, to the smug and cocky Bobby Wheeler on Taxi, his characters seemed to flow from the heart. Conaway also showcased his directing chops, first with the blockbuster movie Bikini Summer II, then with the... well that's it. Bikini Summer II. But obviously they wouldn't have risked the Bikini Summer franchise by letting just anyone behind the camera. Alas, it was Conaway's relentless volunteer work in getting drugs off the streets that was his demise. And somehow, Jo-Ellen predicted what no one else could... that a hopeless addict who almost killed himself last year falling down stairs might be a great death guess. Jeff Conaway, dead at the age of 60. Read more HERE.
