RIP in 2009 - Page 75

Most of my exposure to Albano wasn't so much from actual wrestling as the Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling. Of course, he didn't voice the character, but still.

And looking at that page I learn that Brad Garrett was the voice of Hulk Hogan.

At least the Iron Sheik and Jimmy Snuka are still with us.

Albano's 80s shtick was mildly amusing. His true contribution to the sport was as a heel manager of villainous tag team champions throughout the 70s.

I don't know about this Lou person, but I learned yesterday that Brenden Mullen - creator of LA's first punk club - The Masque - amazing talent booker at Club Lingerie died of a stroke. He was only 60.

I saw many an amazing show that he organized - one of the most amazing being Big Joe Turner, Big Mama Thorton and Eddie Cleanhead Vincent (on the same bill!).

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
Al Martino, the goombah behind perhaps the most famous line in movie history, has died at 82 in his native Pennsylvania, according to his publicist.

Despite a five-decade music career that included a handful of hits ("Volare," "Can't Help Falling in Love"), Martino is destined to be remembered as Johnny Fontane in The Godfather. The Sinatra-esque singer is granted a big Hollywood break by Marlon Brando's Don Vito Corleone, who uses his power of persuasion to convince a stubborn movie producer to hire Fontane, at the expense of the producer's prized horse.
Martino, who crooned the movie's love theme, also popped up briefly in the 1990 sequel, The Godfather Part III. No doubt it was an offer he couldn't refuse.

A personal entry - Another of my fellow actors in Orlando has left us. Peni Lotoza was wicked funny and wonderful to share a stage with. Unlike the surprise death of my friend and coworker Mark Priest last month, Peni's illness was well known and this sad event was expected. But I will cherish the (very bizarre) show we got to do together about six months ago at the Hard Rock Casino. She also did an amazing job in Die, Mommy Die less than a year ago, refusing to let her illness stop her from giving fantastic comedic performances that completely belied her condition. Terrific lady, and I wish you all could have seen her.

Thank you for "ooky", one of the all-time best words, Mr. Mizzy. R.I.P.
