The King Of Voice Over Dies
Voice over legend Don LaFontaine has died after suffering from a collapsed lung at age 68.
During his lengthy career, LaFontaine lent his booming vocal chords to more than 5,000 movie trailers and 300,000 radio and TV commercials, including advertisements for corporate giants such as McDonalds, Coca-Cola and Budweiser.
LaFontaine's agent, Vanessa Gilbert, tells ETonline.com that he died following complications from pneumothorax. This is when air or gas gets into the pleural cavity, after a lung collapse.
However, the official cause of death has yet to be confirmed.
The words, "In a world where...", will never quite sound the same again.
