Remembering Don

Nice obit for our friend Don Pitts in Variety.  I meant what I said in it: "Before the voice business exploded, everybody was with Don Pitts."  In the sixties, it seemed beneath the dignity of on-camera actors to do voiceover work, especially on cartoons.  Thus, folks like Daws Butler, Mel Blanc, June Foray, Paul Frees and Don Messick had a large share of the cartoon and commercial business to themselves.  If you needed a funny voice, you called Don Pitts and he had your guy or gal.  I can't believe anyone will ever dominate that marketplace like Don did…or be any better to his or her clients.
