In Memoriam: Rudy Ray Moore 1927-2008

Actor, comedian, rap-battle champion, and Blaxploitation icon Rudy Ray Moore passed away recently, to the heartbreak of fans everywhere -- especially those of his trademark character Dolemite. But Moore's legacy extends far beyond the borders of Dolemite's memorable, flamboyant hats -- he enjoyed a career that took him from the stage, to the screen, to the recording studio, with projects that he continued working on until the time of his death.
