Kim Manners--We will miss you

[growyourwings]

Via missyjack :

Jim Beaver just posted on his MySpace.

Jim is in mourning for one of the best friends and best directors he's ever known--Kim Manners, who died last night from lung cancer

I'm like...in total and complete SHOCK.  I had no idea he was ill.  If it weren't for the Jim Beaver source, I'd so be doubting this right now.  I'm still not so sure.

'I keep remembering hearing Jensen talk about their first experience having Kim direct "Dead in the Water" (which I just re-watched yesterday.) Jensen was so expansive in his appreciation of Kim's talent.'

...and the bee story...

OMG. Yes.. The infamous Bee Story.

I'm so, so sad.

I really wish we'd gotten to see him.

Remember the Paley interview?

I REALLY had a feeling that we were going to be able to see him at a convention.

[growyourwings]

I know! I kept thinking that it was likely the best chance for him to appear.

OMG. and the dousing-with-water prank that Kim pulled on J & J. I remember the Js saying they still had to get back on him. (But I think they were a little leary of doing so!)

Damn.

Oh yeah.
