Charlie Rose declares undead friend dead

Somebody call the Whoopsie patrol, because Charlie Rose just made a big boo-boo on PBS' clean, new carpet. The PBS talk show host accidentally declared the death of filmmaker George Butler on his show as part of a 2008 retrospective.
The George Butler in question was actually jazz musician George Butler, the first man to sign Wynton Marsalis to a record deal. The filmmaker George Butler made the documentary Pumping Iron that helped bring Arnold Schwarzenegger to the world's eye, the silver screen and, eventually, to the California Governor's office. He may not be alive after I made that little factoid known, depending on how well our traffic is doing.
