a more detailed obit from the NYT:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/17/movies/17edwards.html?hp

note that it's by Aljean Harmetz, who i don't think has written for the Times in many a moon.

Which probably means it was written a long time ago in anticipation.

As you probably know, there have occasionally been obits in the Times written by writers who pre-deceased the subject of the obit.

TANC, I watched "10" on demand over the weekend, without realizing Blake had died.  R.I.P., you S.O.B.
