So Long, Funny Man

And yet, another comedian has gone to the great lounge in the sky...Dom DeLuise.  Irreverent, funny, great cook, jovial, actor...another loss to the international entertainment community.  Who can forget his portrayal of Nero in Mel Brooks's History of the World, Part I.  And he starred in a great little film, Fatso, with Anne Bancroft.  He also co- starred in many a Burt Reynolds film.  As some of my friends would say, he was truly a gifted comedian and ahead of his time.  I would say he was a role model and had an infectious laugh about him.  His legacy lives on in the films he was in.  A new generation will hopefully enjoy the antics of this truly funny man.

"Be a clown, be a clown
All the world loves a clown..."
