Dom DeLuise dies Monday night, age 75

Actor Dom DeLuise died last night after a long illness. This news is especially sad, because growing up, his movies were always some of my favorites.

Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit II, and History of the World Part I, and the outtakes from his and Burt Reynolds movies always made me laugh, even if I didn't get the jokes at the time.

He was a funny, lovable teddy bear, and I'm sorry to see him pass away at age 75. Just another Hollywood legend that has passed. Seems like all the good ones are leaving us now, when we need them the most.

See you on the other side, Dom.
