Dom DeLuise 1933–2009
I wish I could find a YouTube clip of this: My favorite Dom DeLuise moment is from Cannonball Run. A police office is lecturing Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise, point at the two of them and sternly asks, “You got that?” Dom DeLuise gently grabs the the pointed finger in a subtle, feminine, completely emasculating and thoroughly dirty manner and replies, “We sure do.” I can’t do it justice, but it’s an example of the small quirks he would bring to even the broadest of roles.
Moment of silence for Dom DeLuise.

This will have to do:
(I still owe Bea Arthur a moment of silence, too.)
