The curtain is closing on 'On Golden Pond' because James Earl Jones has pneumonia.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- The Broadway play "On Golden Pond" will close Sunday because star James Earl Jones is suffering from pneumonia.

Jones, 74, an accomplished stage actor and the voice of Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" movies, has been off the Tony Award-nominated New York production since June 15 and is not expected to make a full recovery until August, according to a statement.

:-( The voice of Darth Vader is not supposed to be sick!

Have you ever seen the movie The Sandlot? It is a really cute movie that he plays in.
