"We've just learned that Dom DeLuise -- who starred in such classics as 'The Cannonball Run' and 'Blazing Saddles' and was the voice of Pizza the Hutt in "Spaceballs" -- died last night in a Los Angeles hospital. We're told he passed away peacefully in his sleep at around 6 PM. He was 75. Story developing..." |

05 May 09 - 03:38 PM (#2624840) Subject: RE: Obit: Dom DeLuise From: catspaw49 Created a few classic characters with Mel Brooks and Burt Reynolds.....funny man with what always seemed a joy for what he did from acting to eating and cooking to his family. He had a wonderful off-beat sense of humor and was unafraid to play the fool. Occasionally he would come through with a truly touching scene and his other antics always made those all the more special. I'll miss him...... Spaw |

If they had released them instead of the movie, they'd have probably made twice as much money. The man had more genius screwing it up than most people have getting it right. |

I didn't always get his humour in the 60s on tv...I think I was a little young, but I do remember liking him and enjoyed his work late ron when I was more mature. Sad to think there is another one gone. RIP, kat |
