Fred Travalena, the man of 1,000 voices and faces, and known as one of the top impressionists in the world has passed away after a seven year battle with cancer.
ET has confirmed that the comedian and entertainer passed away Sunday due to a recurrence of an aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Travalnea was a regular on various talk shows including "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson," and "Larry King Live,' in addition to guest starring roles on popular TV shows such as "The Love Boat," and "Murphy Brown" -- but he was most well-known for his impressions of celebs such as Frank Sinatra, Wayne Newton, Robert DeNiro, Jack Nicholson and many other stars.
I'm starting to have some serious concerns about how "Abe Vigoda vs. Chuck Norris" would turn out.
someone needs to photo shop vigodas face onto the body of leonidas, and norris' face onto Xerxes...and then we would know how it would turn out
Next will be some sort of sports legend.

This is starting to feel like an episode of Monk.

Jesse Ventura. Yeah, he's still around, and appears to be in good shape. He's living on a beach in Mexico, the last I heard. Periodically he comes out of hiding and holds a news conference to let everyone know he's not running for office.

Senators Byrd and Kennedy are still hangin on - barely.
I'm rooting for Ted, primarily for his history as a predatory drunkard and that little thing about an unprosecuted manslaughter case from the sixties.
Of the four Kennedy brothers, the wrong one has lived way beyond his use-by date.

Karl Malden, dies at 97.
At 97, you can't really count Karl along with the others. 97 sounds pretty good.
....unless you're 96.

He says he rode with the Mongols, and while he was Navy UDT it's still unclear if he ever actually became a SEAL or if he was just embellishing his record.
Mollie Sugden died. The blue-haired gal from the BBC's "Are You Being Served?".

Wow, she was still alive? That show was ages ago. Funny as hell, but ages ago.
Wonder what happened to the poofta?

That's odd, because the much younger, hot chick from the same show died a couple of months ago.
