No! Dom Deluise Dead At 75

I just heard the news that the lovable and hilarious Dom Deluise died last night about 6pm of unreported causes at the age of 75. Deluise appeared in such 70’s comedy classics as Blazing Saddles, History of the World, The Muppet Movie and Fatso, but I will always remember him most fondly in the Cannonball Run movies alongside Burt Reynolds where that infectious laugh of his had everyone on the set peeing their pants. Reynolds, who was reached today, had this to say about the news of his friend passing, “As you get older you think about this more and more, I was dreading this moment. Dom always made everyone feel better when he was around. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much.”

He is survived by his wife Carol Arthur and sons Michael Deluise, Peter Deluise and David Deluise.
