Famous people with Colorectal Cancer

Maybe not famous but Coach Vince Lombardi - there is a clinic named after him and a cancer hotline.

He had surgery 6/27/70 with no evidence of metastic disease and died from it on 9/3/70.
Here is a link to a recent story:

"Many famous individuals have excited the public’s imagination and concern, who have suffered from colorectal cancer, such as Vince Lombardi, Audrey Hepburn, Darryl Strawberry, or Ronald Reagan."

Being a Wisconsin Cheesehead I'd say that Vince Lombardi is just about as famous as anyone!!!

Well better late than never. I may be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that Jackie Kennedy O.(can't spell the other last name) died from colon cancer or at least had it.
