RISPOSA IN PACE, DOM DELUISE


As an actor who I grew up watching in my early childhood, I feel as though I have lost a favorite uncle today. So many of my favorite comedies--The Cannonball Run, Wholly Moses, Blazing Saddles, History Of The World, Part 1, Silent Movie, just to name a few--featured the jumbo-hearted joviality of Dom DeLuise. In honor of his passing, please enjoy this clip from what many consider to be his singular masterpiece in acting, 1980's Fatso. Risposa in pace, Dom. You will be missed. -Ed.
