Harold Ramis, Chicago actor, writer and director, dead at 69

...

Ramis leaves behind a formidable body of work, with writing credits on
such enduring comedies as "National Lampoon’s Animal House” (which upon
its 1978 release catapulted the film career of John Belushi, with whom
Ramis acted at Second City), "Stripes” (1981) and "Ghostbusters” (in
which Ramis also co-starred) plus such directing efforts as "Caddyshack”
(1980), "National Lampoon’s Vacation” (1983), "Groundhog Day” and
"Analyze This.”

Well, that sucks.

Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it.
