Bernie Mac's Legacy
by News


Late actor and comedian Bernie Mac ranks highest on Legacy.com's "Top 10 Legacies of the Year" for 2008, receiving more than 13,000 entries to his online Guest Book hosted by the site.

Condolences poured in throughout the year to Legacy.com Guest Books for Mac and other high- profile celebrities and public figures.

"Mr. Mac's passing this year generated a tremendous outpouring of sympathy and support from fans around the world," said Stopher Bartol, president and CEO of Legacy.com. "For many, the loss of a beloved public figure can affect them in much the same way as the death of a friend or family member. The sense of loss and grief are very real. Online Guest Books offer a place to celebrate life by sharing thoughts, memories and emotions."

The family of Jennifer Hudson ranked third for 2008, preceded by former NBC "Meet the Press" anchor Tim Russert.
