Dom DeLuise dead at age 75

05-05-2009, 11:59 AM

MSNBC just reported that Dom DeLuise has died at the age of 75.

I remember him from so many things when I was a kid. But he was hilarious as "Captain Chaos" in the "Cannonball Run" flicks.

Funny guy.

Lover of food.

Goodnight, funnyman. Rest in peace.

One of my favorite movies with him & Burt was "The End". This is bummer news.

See ya, Captain Chaos...

Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

I need to find Cannonball Run I & II on dvd... I haven't seen them in years.
I can't even imagine the kind of partying that occured on the set of these films.

Well...um, yeah. I guess I painted with a pretty broad brush.

I was just assuming that the median age of the Roth/VH enthusiast was right around mine....bordering on or just past 40.

My apologies to those too old or too young to have a frame of reference for Dom and his work.

I have a hard time imagining that most 20-somethings haven't seen "Blazing Saddles" or "Cannonball Run."
