Loved this guy. He will always be the Snow Miser to me.

Poor man died on stage performing and the audience barely realized it wasn't part of the act.

*reads up* Wow. ...and then I read he was the Emperor on Faerie Tale Theater. With one of the best lines of the series:
"They speak the truth! They *see* the truth! ...that's not all they see!"

That's what happened to Redd Foxx (http://www.tvparty.com/mysfoxx3.html): he had done this "I'm coming, Elizabeth!" schtick for so long, that when he actually had a heart attack in rehearsals, the people on set thought at first he was joking.

Moral of the story: be careful what you joke about.

To quote Zero Mostel, "That’s our Hitlah!!"

I wonder if he sang "Love Power"?

He was great in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World."

Loved Dick Shawn! He was so talented and taken from us too soon. Totally cheesy, but one of my favorite characters was Bing Bell in Evil Roy Slade.
