Remembering Marty Feldman
 Martin Alan Feldman July 8 1934 – December 2 1982 |
He had a natural timing that went with the flow of all comedy in which he worked and some of the close ups were awe inspiring.
I saw him in Slient Movie, Beau Geste, Young Frankenstein, and a number of television spots and comedy specials.
He took what others might have considered a handicap and turned it into a golden career asset.
He had thyroid issues resulting in Graves' ophthalmopathy, causing his eyes to protrude and become misaligned.
He simply worked it all into his schtick and went about his business.
He was an actor, comedian, and writer.
The world lost him too soon as the results of a heart attack due to heavy smoking and lifestyle disease forming habits of diet.
At the time of his death he was engaged in filming a project, Yellowbeard, which was subsequently dedicated to him.
Rest in peace funny fellow.
