My thanks to the LA Times for letting me write about the life of John Candy and two new projects (a documentary and a biography) that explore his legacy. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

'You never stop thinking about John Candy': How a pair of projects keep his legacy alive

The beloved actor, who would have turned 75 this month, is the focus of an eponymous book biography and "John Candy: I Like Me," a Prime Video documentary.
