I am lovingly heartbroken..I’ll watch for the 🌈 rainbows now.

[@TownieGirl1974]

I was really hoping just once this page was just posting a random interview from Dave's show, not another celebrity defacto death notice. RIP Kris Kristofferson. You were absolutely amazing as Whistler in the Blade films. Wish you could've enjoyed the OG's return w/Westley Snipes.

[@TheFurreid]

is he talking about “A Star Is Born”.. he was the original superstar, right.. memorable roles.. and singer..

[@mamaalaska]

Rest in peace. Your music, writing, acting wilt forever live on for generations to come. Please give a great hug to the man in Black for me.

[@sammysouth8372]

RIP Mr. Kristofferson you were nothing but pure class. Class is no longer something that’s valued in the US. Just look at Trump. And you were also a Rhodes Scholar.

Yes he will

[@finddeniro]

He did a Film where He Uploaded his thoughts.. Any Answer ?

[@sardaracampa1733]

His movie Millennium, was a great thought provoking movie ,and it is a true to life story, often shrugged off as a conspiracy theory. But they really do relocate people that supposedly die in airplane crashes. They did it with the Pennsylvania passengers on the 911 plane. It never crashed, a d the others never hit the Trade Center Towers, they took those people to another place in time. So no planes hit those buildings, those were holograms. Anyway, so long Kris.

[@darrenrunning5415]

I'll be watching 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' tonight in his memory.

Unless it's "I woke up next morning feeling like my head was gone, and like my thick old tongue was lickin' something sick and wrong". Got to see him a few times over the years, last in 2019 at Westbury. Think of him every time I "found my cleanest dirty shirt".

[@JeremyAndersonBoise]

I have never told this story publicly, but, here we go. This is a real piece of Hollywood history. Kris Kristofferson was involved in a deeply shady plot to steal a priceless art collection from an aging old-money aristocrat woman in Malibu in the late 1970’s. He and his co-conspirators tried to murder my step-dad when he uncovered that plot. My stepfather was dating Rita Coolidge’s sister Linda briefly at the time, which is how he became a witness. They shot up the VW Bus that he lived in with automatic weapons, while my step-dad, the late Gordon Paul Baker, watched from the top of the hill above the gas station at the foot of the canyon. Other still-living people in the entertainment business were also complicit.

[@mostamused2797]

Should start on the screenplay immediately. This has Tarantino written all over it. 😮

[@micmac1121]

Sad story, you should write a country song about it.

[@tub1960]

Hello fellow micmac.

[@Simon-talks]

Gosh, Kris looked 65 years old here already, way back in '84...
