Owen Wilson

.
Owen Wilson attempted suicide last Sunday. He is one of the most talented people working in film today, and certainly among my favorite actors and writers.

Some things to contemplate: Richie's suicide attempt in Royal Tenenbaums (written by Owen):

A great essay about the situation by a Dallas acquaintance of Owen's and current NY Times critic:

thanks for the post. i've struggled with this news. wilson seems like one of the few actors out there you could totally have a good time with. like he's in on the joke of fame and stardom. and he's so talented. i appreciated the comparison to bill murray in the article you linked to.
