Fred "Rerun" Berry Dies at 52... the former star of What's Happening died of natural causes. All of a sudden 1970s sitcom stars are dying off. First Jack Tripper, now Rerun. Is Potsie next? Here's a bit: "Among the more famous episodes was one in which Rerun joined a bizarre cult and another in which he was busted for making bootlegged tapes of a Doobie Brothers concert. Berry's success on the show was clouded by his heavy use of marijuana and cocaine. Berry said he had blown more than a million dollars on drugs, cars, homes and an airplane. With no acting jobs heading his way, Berry tried to live off his fame by charging for appearances at shopping malls."
