Dom Deluise Aug. 1, 1933 - May 4, 2009

Dom Deluise, a true comedy star has passed away in his sleep, surrounded by family at his Santa Monica home, he was 75.
Deluise starred in such classic roles as Cannonball Run, History of the World Part 1, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles, the Muppet Movie, and many others (his IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001123/) and truly was one of the most recognizable comedy men in the game. He will be missed by all movie buffs, and, I'm sure, by his family.

For me, he will always be Don Giovanni in Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
