#Fact
1About Kenney's death, Harold Ramis famously quipped "Doug probably fell while he was looking for a place to jump".
2Longtime companion of Kathryn Walker.
3Found in his hotel room (at the time of his death) were notes for projects he had been planning, jokes, and an outline for a new movie.
4Chevy Chase was very close to Kenney and convinced him to join him in a two-week class at Vic Braden's Tennis College in southern California.
5After he helped write the sophomoric hit comedy, Caddyshack (1980), which grossed $39,800,000, it made him one of Hollywood most sought-after comedy writers.
6Was one of Chevy Chase's longtime best friends.
7Wrote a manuscript for a book entitled "Teenage Commies From Outer Space". He threw the entire thing away after getting very negative feedback from long-time friend and partner, Henry Beard.
8Before his death, he wrote a message on his hotel room mirror: "I love you" to his then-girlfriend. He had written notes and ideas for a new movie, along with a love-letter for all the reasons he loved his new girlfriend: "Those days with her... were the best I've ever ignored."
9Fell to his death; occurred when the cliff point on which he was standing overlooking the Hanapepe Valley on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, collapsed.
10Director Harold Ramis named his lead character in Multiplicity (1996), Doug Kinney, after longtime friend Kenney, one of the founding fathers of the National Lampoon.
