Sad

[madrobins]

Dom Deluise has died.

I've always thought he was probably the class clown growing up, and story about his first role, in grade school, suggests I was on to something.

He was handed the role of a penny in a school play. “The part called for me to roll under a bed as soon as the curtain went up and stay there until I was found in the very last scene,” he said. “It was my hardest role to date. I detested having to be quiet and out of the action for so long.”

This after the glorious Bea Arthur and Marilyn French. Perhaps that's the three?

Sigh. Hatin' the mortality this morning.
