Dom Deluise

From TMZ - 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.

He will be remembered kindly by generations of everyday people, and with respect by his peers and those that look to his work for inspiration. He did well, and died the same way.

One in a million.

RIP Dom :(

Death sucks :(

Oh damn that sux. I loved him in Smokey in the Bandit II. The outtakes were hilarious.

R.I.P

I remember him in a lot of Mel Brook's stuff. He was very funny. RIP

Yeah heard it on the news. Sucks Space Balls was awesome!

Sad to hear he's gone. He was a great actor.

What a shame, 75 is not really old but a lot older than some other funny big guys were :(
RIP

Smokey and the Bandit.. was so good in its day.
RIP Dom.

75 doesn't seem that old to you because you're only a couple of years away.

Now who says UW is not a sweetheart |smooch|

I insulted the hell out of my father-in-law and the lesbian he's married to at a family dinner once. (Shocking, I know.) Everyone was discussing food, as people sometimes do while shoving themselves full of it, and the ugly step-mother-in-law started talking about how people should restrict their diets as they grow older in order stay healthy and live longer. That struck me as odd, so I replied pretty much to the tune of, "why bother living if you aren't going to enjoy it," and something like, "once you are within a couple of years of 70, you may as well eat what you want because you're going to be dead within a year or two anyway." That's when my father-in-law said, "I'm 69."

Oops.
