I posted a pretty lengthy article on Blanc yesterday, but we're not quite done talking about him yet. In celebration of the big man's birthday, I've got not one, but two interviews with Mel Blanc on Today. The first of these aired in 1982, and like yesterday's newspaper article, was done to help promote Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie. Blanc sits down with famous film critic Gene Shalit to discuss the flick and demonstrate a few of his most celebrated characters.
This second one aired in August 1988, around the release of his autobiography, That's Not All Folks!. In this interview, Blanc discusses his favorite character, his approach to his characters, and his near-fatal 1961 car accident. There are several interesting tidbits in this one, but I really recommend watching both. After all, one can never have enough Mel Blanc in their life.
