Recently Dead

Robert Goulet, the booming baritone whose Broadway debut as Sir Lancelot in Camelot launched an award-winning stage and recording career, died this morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills while waiting for a lung transplant. He was 73. It was discovered last month that the matinee idol was suffering from a rare form of pulmonary fibrosis. Goulet won a Grammy in 1962 for best new artist and made the charts in 1964 with "My Love Forgive Me." He also won a Tony in 1968 for best actor in a musical for his starring role in The Happy Time. He appeared in such movies as 1991's The Naked Gun 2 1/2, and played, perfectly, a lounge singer in Louis Malle's 1980 Atlantic City. (Wikipedia)
