Kenneth Mars, voice of Fred Holstein,
Officer Quinn, and many others passes away at the
age of 75.
Said of Kenny Mars: "Kenneth Mars ... was
cherished by audiences for his unhinged comic performances in two of
the writer-director Mel Brooks's finest and funniest movies, The
Producers (1968) and Young Frankenstein (1974). Along with
performers including Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn and Cloris Leachman,
he created some of the most sublimely silly moments in US film
comedy." - The Guardian, February 15, 2011
