The Life of Bolaji Badejo

[Valaquen]

After years of turning over rocks, sending out e-mails, giving up, resuming, sleepless nights and somnambulant days... there's this: http://alienseries.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/the-life-of-bolaji-badejo-2/

Enjoy

This deserves a clapping Orson Welles.

This has to be the best internet find of the past decade. Kudos to who found all this information. It's sad to hear Badejo died of sickle cell.

Yeah, it's a shame he passed away so long ago. Great article!

[Elmazalman]

Thanks for that.

Fantastic article. I really don't know how you managed to track them down. It's nice to have confirmation on what actually happened to him after Alien.

If anyone cares to, leave a comment on the blog. The family will be checking in to read them. Today would have been his 61st birthday. Show them and Bolaji some love, if you like

Look who got number 14 on the best villains list.

As interesting as this this article was (and as outstanding as it is) I'd even read a separate article about the research that went into it. This story is interesting as f**k, the story behind it has to be interesting also.

Excellent article!  I so enjoyed reading about his life.

Really great work Valaquen!

Just imagine a lot of finger-crossing, hopes dashed and fulfilled, e-mails sent, returned or lost, and a lot of cold, treacly persipration

Excellent piece, Valaquen.  Badejo doesn't get enough credit for being one of the most convincing movie monsters ever.  You just helped changed that a little.

Kudos on your efforts and the awesome result.

Thank you. Bolaji deserves a Wikipedia page, at least.

Good work. Glad to know that he died a natural death

I've always wondered what happened to him. Always assumed he just wasn't interested in the limelight. Sad to hear he died so long ago.
