Robert Goulet, 1933-2007
The Broadway baritone, star of Camelot, died yesterday at the age of 73. Goulet won a Tony Award for for the 1968 Kander and Ebb musical The Happy Time, and most recently appeared on Broadway as Georges in the 2004 revival of La Cage aux Folles. An obituary and appreciation of the performer can be found at Playbill News.
Ah, to have seen the Burton/Goulet kiss…very funny story and great way to end the obit. Thanks for the link.
I’ve spent a lot of time honing a Robert Goulet impression, and frankly his death leaves me at a loss for a few reasons. I’m not sure if I should stop doing that impression for a little while now, out of respect. But I’m not really sure I respected him. On one hand, he was a great singer (for the first part of his career, anyway), but on the other, he really was a first class jerk.
