Death of Fred Travalena

This has been the worst week ever to be a celebrity, as the news reports the death of Fred Travalena. Fred Travalena was a comic entertainer, who specialized in lampooning public figures, and was a regular on TV talk shows and variety shows, but also featured in dramatic programs and also lent his voice to animated shows as well. Travalena had suffered from Non Hodgkin’s’ Lymphoma and prostate cancer, but after a five year remission the disease returned in 2008. He may not be well known to this generation, but his appearances were prolific in the 70s and 80s. Some may know more about fast cash than Fred Travalena, but his presence will be surely missed.
