The Late Charles Grodin and The Late Diana Rigg is a hot topic of irony; or there's an irony about them


Let me just say that they both looked so cute in this movie when they were young; especially interacting with their plush co-stars. [Although Charles with an infatuation for Miss Piggy is an actual dangerous fetish people can have in real life and that's dark and disturbing; a whole other conversation for another forum] They kind of looked alike. Imagine if they were brother and sister in real life; they died not that far from each other. They both died of cancer! CANCER! You could say if they were related in real life that they had bad genetic makeup. Oh man; and they were so close to each other; just a year apart.


Died from the same disease; was this film cursed or is it just a coincidence, granted, they were elderly; both were over 80 years old so you can't exactly say that they were gone too soon but speaking of coincidence, when you spell out their first names, you get; Charles and Diana-----As in, Prince Charles And The Late Princess Diana!
Now that is irony!
Rest in peace to all involved, rest in peace to them both.
