In his new Netflix documentary, Being Eddie, Eddie Murphy would open up about several fellow black stars passing after Hollywood success. Specifically he would open up about having to help bury Rick James, Redd Foxx, and even had to purchase a headstone for the actor who played Buckwheat because they all died broke & abandoned. “I had to bury Redd, I had to bury Rick. I bought Buckwheat a tombstone, Buckwheat didn’t have no tombstone…. It tripped me out.. it’s not even money to bury these people
