Unhappy In a world... Don LaFontaine died
Quote:
Voiceover Master Don LaFontaine has died. He was 68. LaFontaine, known as the "King of Voiceovers," died Monday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. LaFontaine's agent, Vanessa Gilbert, tells ET that he passed away following complications from Pneumothorax, the presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity, the result of a collapsed lung. The official cause of death has not yet been released.

The voice of many movie trailers is gone.

Oh, heartbreaking! Truly the voice of the city.

EH can probably say more about him, because she was in the meeting when he recorded for us, but our company had the great pleasure of working with him on a "make your own trailer" feature - and I know he was a class act.

Will miss this guy's overtones. RIP.




Can't help but notice the irony of a collapsed lung. Can you really work your lungs to death?

In people his age, pneumothorax is most generally associated with emphysema. Wonder if he smoked (my sister suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax last year so I got to learn something about it).

I had two spontaneous pneumothoraxes. The first when I was 12, the last when I was 17. Each time, a different lung. I still have the scars from the chest tubes.

I was sad to see this. I've grown used to hearing his voice over the years and he will be missed.

Oh bummer. In a world full of chaos, his voice is comfort.




I hope they can find another consistent voice for voice overs.

There are a few others that you'd recognize. In a world without Don LaFontaine, another will rise to take his place...
