2014 Celebrity Death: Roberto Gomez Bolaños Died November 28 At The Age Of 85


The Mexican comedian and screenwriter, known by his nickname "Chespirito," died Nov. 28 at 85 from a heart attack. Considered to be one of Mexico's greatest comedic actors, he created and starred in a pair of successful television comedies in the early 1970s, El Chavo del Ocho and El Chapulin Colorado. Bolaños' character in the latter, "The Crimson Grasshopper," a timid and mostly ineffective superhero was the inspiration for The Simpsons' Bumblebee Man character.
