Funny man. Great Dad. All around good guy. He gave me lots of laughs. A talk show perennial favorite in his day.

Wasn't he Burt Reynold's best friend? Burt's gotta be pretty torn up today. Plus I'm pretty sure Dom was beloved by everyone he ever worked with, he always seemed so happy-go-lucky.

I loved the outtakes from the movies he did with Burt because Dom could make Burt crack up so easily. I hate when my favorites leave us.

dom deluise seemed to be such a kind person. i recall reading what he said about his struggle with his weight. his honesty was touching. so many of us have issues with weight (thin or not). i have read about how much $ Americans spend on weight loss each year. i do too. it's always a struggle. years ago, read his book. really great guy.

Dom played Melvin P Thorpe in the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The character was based on a newsman here, Marvin Zindler, who broke the story of the chicken ranch. This is a hysterical interview between the two of them when they met for the first time. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/entertainment&id=6796718 click on 2

I will scan it and send it to you and you can post it - because I am a little moronic about those things. I will do it later in the week, if that is okay.

Good interview, Texannie. That's the most I have ever seen Marvin Zindler let an interviewee talk. I was agency spokesperson for 8 years in Houston and did quite a few interviews with Marvin. He usually did my part and his.

I saw Dom on the Mike Douglas Show many moons ago. He demonstrated how he could "do" handsome. He turned his face to the wall..waited a few seconds, and then turned his face back to the camera...and he was indeed very handsome! It was a remakable transformation. I never forgot that.
