"Beetlejuice" Character 'Otho' dies

Bessemer native Glenn Shadix, a Hollywood character actor best known for his role as Otho the interior decorator in Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice," died this morning following a fall at his Birmingham condo, a family member said today.
Mr. Shadix, who appeared in more than 70 films and TV shows, was 58.

  Shadix’s sister Susan Gagne said, “He was having mobility problems, and he was in a wheelchair. It looks like he fell and hit his head in the kitchen, and that’s the cause of death.”
