The May 30th Answer.com daily look had a write up about Mel Blanc who was born on that date back in 1908. This man was the voice of several generations of Americans.
He was the voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Woody Woodpecker, Speedy Gonzalez, Tweety, Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, Frito Bandito, Marvin the Martian, Pepe LePew, Barny Rubble, and Mr. Spacely. He said that voicing Yosmite Sam was the hardest on his vocal cords.
He died July 10, 1989, and his grave in Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California, has the words, "THAT'S ALL FOLKS." This is a man I grew up with. Thanks for bringing all the fun.
Quite a Guy. --Cooter
