The Hollywood Museum is celebrating the legacy of the late David Carradine, who was best known for his role in the 1970s TV series, "Kung Fu" and for his title role in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" martial arts flicks.

"The Barefoot Legend: David Carradine — a Contemporary Renaissance Man" opens June 21 at the museum, located at the venerable Max Factor Building in Hollywood, and continues through September.

The exhibit will feature costumes, props and other materials, including his personal sword collection, that shine the spotlight not only on his acting career, but his work as an artist and musician.

Carradine, the son of legendary character actor John Carradine, made his feature film debut in the 1964 Western, "Taggart." It was his role as Kwai Chan Caine ("Grasshopper") in the 1972-1975 series "Kung Fu" that made him a star. In 1976, he played singer Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's acclaimed 1976 "Bound for Glory."

He made more than 100 movies and was nominated four times for a Golden Globe-the last time for 2004's "Kill Bill: Vol. 2."

Carradine died in June 2009 at the age of 72. His death in Bangkok, where he was making a movie, made headlines when he was found hanging naked in his hotel room. His death was ruled asphyxiation by hanging but not a suicide.

[Kymus]

lmao you guys are azzholes

[Lucas]

to be fair, we'd rip on each other just as much if any of us were found in a closet in a thailand hotel dead whilst performing erotic self(supposedly self) asphyxiation to pass the time.

[lkfmdc]

To be fair, the guy is in the sex capitol of the planet and instead of going out he decides to yank it by himself in the closet

[Lucas]

to be fair, he was probably being choked and stroked by one of bawangs suggested thai trannys. but they didnt stick around. i mean, who would want to admit to banging david carradine in a closet?

[mickey]

To be fair, he probably was not stuffed.

He was freeze dried.



mickey

[lkfmdc]

Just out of curiosity, who else here has ever been to Thailand? I spent a couple weeks there and came back bruised and the victim of a robbery.

LOS ANGELES, June 13 (UPI) -- The Hollywood Museum says its exhibit "The Barefoot Legend: David Carradine -- A Contemporary Renaissance Man" is to open next week.

Co-sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter, the exhibit honoring Carradine's life and career is to run from June 21 through September. On display will be iconic costumes, props and materials from his "Kung Fu" television show and "Kill Bill" movies, as well as numerous other items intended to present imagery and artifacts from his life as an actor, artist and musician.

"The Hollywood Museum is thrilled to present this milestone exhibit showcasing David Carradine's many awards and his exciting, fast-paced professional and personal life," Donelle Dadigan, the museum's president and founder, said in a statement. "The first of its kind to capture the many facets and talents of this truly contemporary Renaissance man, the exhibit is here for the public and fans to experience this summer."

Carradine died in Bangkok in June 2009. His death at 72 was ruled asphyxiation by hanging that was not a suicide. The actor was found hanging naked in a hotel closet with a rope tied around his neck and genitals. He had been in the Thai city working on a film at the time he died.

To be fair, thats what happens when you travel to Thailand with David Carradine.

You know, there's probably some hippy out there who based his entire world view around the kind of pseudo jewish/buddhist/taoist/christian/confucian philo platitudes spouted by DC on a weekly basis in the 70's who is now raging in apoplectic shock at you guys.

So...good job!
