Robert Goulet (73) handsome, big-voiced baritone whose Broadway debut in Camelot (1960) launched an award-winning stage and recording career. Goulet was born in Massachusetts but grew up in Canada and had his own TV show there in the '50s. He played Sir Lancelot in Lerner & Loewe's original Broadway production of Camelot, opposite Richard Burton as King Arthur and Julie Andrews as Queen Guenevere. Goulet won a Tony in 1968 for best actor in a musical for his role in The Happy Time. His other Broadway appearances were in Moon over Buffalo (1995) and a revival of La Cage aux Folles (2005), plus a Camelot revival in 1993 in which he played King Arthur. He was diagnosed in September with a rare form of pulmonary fibrosis and died while awaiting a lung transplant, in Los Angeles, California on October 30, 2007.

I thought I was the only one here who would care about his passing, so I didn't post
anything about it when he died. He had a great voice.
Thanks for posting, mindgames.

Robert is a pop culture icon, evey generation should know his name even if they don't know much else, because he kept showing up I remember him from Alice the TV show, and those almond commercials. It was so sudden. I thought he'd live forever. (Dick Clarke syndrome) heck Jackie Coogan and Mickey Rooney are still alive I'm on the celebrity death watch patrol.  (lifeinlegacy.com) |

Robert Goulet was good on the Carol Burnett show...so was Steve Lawrence....
