Well, another performer from the film has left us. David Huddleston, who played the big Johnson (Olson) has died at the age of 85. He also had other good roles, including another Brooks' film 30 years later-The Producers. Brooks said that David was a great guy to work with and made the Johnsons memorable. Great to hear Mel say that.

Darn shame. Its unavoidable but sad, nonetheless.
