10 Dom DeLuise, actor, comedian and chef, dies
Dom DeLuise, actor, comedian and chef, dies AP – FILE - In this June 8, 1989 file photo, actor and comedian Dom DeLuise is shown. DeLuise died in Southern …
LOS ANGELES – Dom DeLuise, the portly actor-comedian whose affable nature made him a popular character actor for decades with movie and TV audiences as well as directors and fellow actors, has died. He was 75.
DeLuise died Monday night, son Michael DeLuise told KTLA-TV and radio station KNX on Tuesday. The comedian died in his sleep after a long illness. Calls to his agent were not immediately returned.
The actor, who loved to cook and eat almost as much as he enjoyed acting, also carved out a formidable second career later in life as a chef of fine cuisine. He authored two cookbooks and would appear often on morning TV shows to whip up his favorite recipes.

So sad!
I remember some of the commercials that he used to do. i think he once had his own variety show somewhere in the '60s as well.

10 He had a passion for cooking, it's a shame to lose anyone who has that and shares it with others. It's not a common as it used to be.

I never even knew that he was sick.
Yeah, most of his commercials had something to do with food.
Think he once did a plastic food wrap commercial where at the end of it, he was holding a large bowl of salad, and he would step forward, lose his balance and then fall backwards.

I think the most amazing thing about Dom was that he took his love of cooking and became quite a chef and food author.
Wonder if that was always his true passion and acting was secondary? In any case, he was great at both.

10 I don't know, but it's wonderful he found things that made him happy and was able to share them with us.

He seemed like a man that lived with great passion, that is something that we all need.
We have lost two great entertainers in one week, both Dom Deluise and Bea Arthur. Bea Arthur made me laugh so many times, she was an amazing talent.
