Henry Corden, the voice of cartoon caveman Fred Flintstone’s “Yabba-dabba-doo!” for more than two decades, has died. He was 85.
Corden died of emphysema Thursday night at AMI Encino Hospital, his longtime agent Don Pitts said Friday. Corden’s wife of nine years, Angelina, was with him at the time.
He took over as the lovable loudmouth Fred Flintstone when original voice Alan Reed died in 1977. Reed had been doing Flintstone since the character debuted in 1960.
