Dr. Brandt was a bit of an oddball. See his photo in the book A New Kind of Beauty.

Who cares if he was an "oddball"? I certainly couldn't care less. He seemed like a kind, caring and very intelligent man.

ita! if dr. brandt was an "oddball" then i wish to only surround myself with oddballs from this point forward. oddballs rule!

I just read this!! There is a columnist from the Miami Herald that says her source told her that he was suffering from depression and committed suicide. I don't think that has been confirmed. Regardless of how he died, RIP.

there is not one thing in this article or the article published in the Miami Herald that mentions suicide. Why would you post this gossip and where did you get this supposed information from "the source"? Just because they report he was devastated by the mocking of him does not mean we can make that jump to suicide without any facts or coroners report.

I think it is just not nice to post this type of unconfirmed gossip about something this tragic. I saw him on television and he did seem like a very nice man.

they allude to it. it's a devastating loss. he seemed to be the most kind man who wore his heart on his sleeve.

all I read was that he had an illness. It may be true in the end but why must anyone post gossip?

I'm done with P.C. Just say what you mean and mean what you say. It's easier.

I said it was unconfirmed but there are several sources saying it. The Miami Herald columnist says that her source told her that and an interview with him in Allure alluded to that. I never said it was in the Miami Herald. I posted it for people who might possibly interested and while it is not confirmed there are more than one source saying it.

I agree MACY.

He seemed like a good guy.

I loved his skincare

he changed his face and has said he did too much, but didn't shy away from sight because of that

in the end-

he helped many, loved many, and loved by many

may he rest in peace.

do you actually know the source? and as for the article in Allure, surely something written long before his death would not allude to suicide, would it? I'd like to read it if you can point me to the source. thank you.

This is incredibly sad news to hear. I use some of his products and really like them. I listened to his Sirius radio program all the time.....he was such a hoot!!! For quite awhile his show has not been on. I didn't know if it had been moved to a different time slot, or if it had been cancelled. Seems the later may be the case now. In my area it aired on Saturdays at noon. His program was interesting, he gave out great information, and it was just a lot of fun to listen to. I can still hear his crazy laugh. It makes me smile right now.

So very sad.

From what I have read. his illness was severe depression.

The TV series where he was mocked by a character played by Martin Short seems to have affected him deeply.

it's being reported that he hanged himself. devastating to think how he must have felt. such pain.

""Famed dermatologist to the stars 'hanged himself' aged 65 at his Miami mansion after being left 'devastated' by comparisons to Martin Short's doctor character in the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.""
