 Bernie Mac: Responds well to treatment
Actor Bernie Mac, who has been hospitalized at Chicago due to pneumonia, continues to recover.
In a statement, the actor's publicist Danica Smith said on Thursday, "Bernie Mac is in stable condition in a Chicago-area hospital. He is responding well to treatment and hopes to be released in the next few weeks. His family thanks everyone for the well wishes and concern".
Smith said last week that Mac's bout with pneumonia was unrelated to his previous diagnosis of a chronic tissue inflammation, called sarcoidosis, which has been in remission since 2005.
Bernie Mac, the Chicago native made waves last month with off-color jokes during a fundraise for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Mac is best known for such films as the "Ocean's Eleven" trilogy, "Guess Who" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle", as well as his U.S. television sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show", which ran for five seasons until 2006 on the Fox network. |
