 And my goodness, the stories about him with the fans and with the sick children, with the hurting children, how he just couldn't leave them. What a heart the man had. And ultimately how he dies in an accident, falling out of a hospital bed. What the son said was so true. His legacy was laughter. I love the line from Mel Blanc. He said, when I see a person smile, that's my payment itself. The story of Mel Blanc, the man behind 3,000 cartoon voices.
