(AP) — Fred Berry, the
squeaky-voiced actor famous
for playing red-beret-wearing
Rerun on the 1970s TV sitcom
"What’s Happening!", has died
at age 52.
Berry died Oct. 21 at his
home in Los Angeles appar­
ently of natural causes. Friends
said Berry had been ill because
of a recent stroke.
He wore his red beret and
suspenders in real life, and it
was unclear whether he origi­
nally brought his own style to
the ch a rac te r o f R erun or
whether he was forever mim­
icking the goofball character
that made him famous.
“What's Happening!”, which
ran from 1976-1979, focused
on three teenage friends - Re­
run, Raj and Dwayne - who
i
The name Rerun, according
to B erry, re ferred to the
character’s brainlessness: In
the summer, he had to rerun all
the classes he failed during the
school year.
Among the more famous epi­
sodes was one in which Rerun
joined a bizarre cult and an­
other 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
o f m ariju an a and cocaine.
“There were dealers right there
in the stu d io , people that
worked there," he said in 1996.
By the time “W hat's Hap­

trouble while growing up in dollars on drugs, cars, homes
