MILESTONES, Page 49
DIED. Melvin Jerome Blanc, 81, Hollywood's man of a thousand
voices who created such beloved radio and cartoon characters as
Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Road Runner, Daffy Duck and Barney Rubble,
many of which he reprised in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit;
in Los Angeles. When radio advertisers could not afford extra
actors, Blanc's inexhaustible vocal cords and zany humor fashioned
a gallery of heroes and villains for Jack Benny, Bob Hope and the
George Burns and Gracie Allen show.
