Ah, Benny Hill. A nostalgia station has been running his shows again, sadly the topless women have all been expunged.

@GtHawk

It's hard to believe that Benny Hill died alone and virtually penniless in a tiny walk-up apartment,isn't it?

Unless maybe he went nuts and wanted to live like that.

THAT's funny!

Ya gotta give the waitress/manager credit for keeping her cool and just going along with it without embarrassing the customer.

Well he was alone and it was days after he died that neighbor called someone because of the smell but he sure as heck wasn't penniless.

What was Benny Hill worth when he died?
Benny Hill Estate Value And Inheritance: At the time of his death in 1992, Benny Hill's estate was worth $8.5 million, which is roughly the same as $15 million today after adjusting for inflation.

YIKES!

That's really surprising because most comedians are very outgoing. Not to mention why have all that money and live in a tiny walk-up apartment?

I am guessing he maybe developed mental problems as he aged.

My experience with the professional comics I've met is they are mostly intensely unhappy people.

@Cyber Liberty

I agree,but most try to hide it with forced hilarity. It's almost like they are afraid they are going to die unless they can keep people laughing.
