Bertuzzi Babe Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 2:45 a.m. CDT, April 18, 2012 LOS ANGELES -- KTLA has confirmed that Dick Clark died from a heart attack Wednesday at the age of 82. Clark served as chairman and chief executive officer of Dick Clark Productions, which he has sold part of in recent years. Clark is best known for hosting long-running television shows such as American Bandstand, five versions of the game show Pyramid, and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Clark has long been known for his departing catchphrase, "For now, Dick Clark...so long," delivered with a military salute, and for his youthful appearance, earning the moniker "America's Oldest Teenager." Clark suffered a significant stroke in late 2004. With speech ability still impaired, Clark returned to his New Year's Rockin' Eve show on December 31, 2005/January 1, 2006. Subsequently, he appeared at the Emmy Awards on August 27, 2006, and every New Year's Rockin' Eve show since then. Clark has been married 3 times -- and has 3 children from his first two marriages. He is survived by his current wife Kari Wigton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesTW Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I guess he isn't actually a robot. He certainly didn't look his age right up till the end. It's too bad he died but he seemed to have a good fullfilling life so it's not really something to be sad about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 RIP Dick Clark, maybe he planned to have his body put into cryogenics so they can bring him back for New Years Eve Countdowns. Too Soon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
