I’ve poked a lot of fun at Nicolas Cage in the past, but this post isn’t going to do that. I can only kick a person when they’re down so many times, and Nicolas Cage is now so far down my foot couldn’t even reach him if I tried.
Cage’s father, August Coppola, has died at the age of 75 of a heart attack. Coppola is the brother of filmmaker Frances Ford Coppola and was Dean of Creative Arts at San Francisco State University.
My heart goes out to the family, particularly to Cage who has had more than his fair share of troubles in the past year. Condolences also to the faculty, staff and students of San Francisco State University where Coppola taught literature and served as Dean of Creative Arts. I’m sure he will be missed.
:( That is so sad.
I never knew he was so closely related to Francis Ford Coppola!
This has been a bad year for Nic – well his father lived a productive life and affected several generations through his teaching, and that’s not a bad life to have lived and enjoyed.
Poor, poor man! It’s a tragic shame that he had to suffer daily and witness such pain for SO MANY YEARS! Of course, I’m referring to him having to actually watch his son’s movies.
Just a looser!
Nic you are an old man now!
