    Yesterday, June 29, 2013, James Milton Kelly, better known as Jim Kelly, the Karate expert, actor, my first husband and Sabrena Kelly-Lewis's biological father died. Sabrena needs all of your good thoughts and prayers. This is a difficult situation to process. Even I am having trouble processing it. Like his mother, there will be no service!
    The only other mention of this is on National Enquirer's website, which got the info from the above FB page:

    JIM KELLY who starred with BRUCE LEE in “ENTER THE DRAGON” has died at age 67, The ENQUIRER has learned.

    His ex-wife Marilyn DIshman confirmed the sad news on Facebook that Jim had passed yesterday June 29, 2013.

    Kelly began his career into 1970s superstardom after graduating from University of Louisville, Kentucky.

    After winning the middleweight title at the 1971 International Karate Championships in Long Beach, California he opened his own school (dojo).

    Acting alongside actors John Saxon and kung fu legend Bruce Lee in “Enter the Dragon” Kelly was introduced to big screen action films.

    Displaying impressive fighting skills and a cool-cat smooth delivery as an actor, Kelly taunted the film’s Dr. No-like villain Han with the memorable line, “Man, you come right out of a comic book.”

    Dragon's producer Fred Weintraub had heard about Kelly's dojo in Los Angeles, and was immediately taken with the lanky star’s charisma.

    His popularity landed Kelly starring roles in other so-called “blackploitation” films including “Black Belt Jones” "Black Samurai" and “Melinda”.

    He earned a three-film contract with Warner Brothers and made “Three the Hard Way” with Jim Brown and Fred Williamson among many others.

    After dropping out of movies in 1983, Kelly became a professional tennis coach and played in the senior tournament.

    Jim was still mobbed at fan conventions and had attended the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con convention.

    The cause of his death is as yet unknown.

    Adios, amigo.

    I won't believe it until I hear it from a legit news source. An ex-wife and the Irrational Enquirer are hardly the stuff of truthfulness.....

    In the meantime, here is a classic clip:
