N!xau, the Kalahari bushman who achieved international stardom when he appeared in the movie, "The Gods Must Be Crazy," died Saturday. Cause of death was not released. His age was estimated at 59.
Jamie Uys' satirical film examined what would happen if a Coke bottle fell out of a plane and landed in a remote African village. "The Gods Must Be Crazy" was a box office hit and spawned several sequels.
