DeLuise died in his sleep around 6 p.m. on May 4, 2009 in Los Angeles, California,
aged 75. He was hospitalized at the time, suffering from kidney failure
and respiratory problems following a long battle with cancer.
He only made the BEST Roman Emperor, the BEST mafia boss in Sherwood Forrest and of course the best voice for Pizza The Hut ever! And that's just some of his Mel Brooks stuff...he's got TONS of voice acting that's equally as impressive.

That's right Joxer...although I did like them both....I was also saddened by her death. Now, there was one tough ole gal! God, she was good...I loved her in the comedy series "Maude", and who else could of played Sophia Petrillo's daughter so well!!!
