The Resume

    (October 26, 1963-January 13, 2002)
    Directed 'Blow,' 'Beautiful Girls,' 'The Ref' and 'Life'
    Nephew of 'Silence of the Lambs' director Jonathan Demme
    Died from a cocaine-related heart failure at 38-years old

Why he might be annoying:

    He was slightly overweight.
    He collapsed during a celebrity basketball game and died a few hours later.
    He died from complications stemming from cocaine abuse.
    Ironically, one of his last films 'Blow' dealt with cocaine and its negative impact.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He did not rely on nepotism to further his career.
    His works were critically acclaimed.
    At the time of his death, he left behind his wife and two young children.
    In 2002, musician Greg Dulli (who appeared in 'Beautiful Girls') scrapped and rewrote an entirely new set of songs from scratch for his band's album in response to Demme's death.
