Mel Blanc – Owes His Life to Bugs Bunny
Mel Blanc’s voice is heard in almost all Looney Tunes characters. Unsurprisingly, his gravestone reads “THAT’S All FOLKS.” Mel started smoking at nine years old and only quit at 77. On January 24, 1961, Mel got into a car accident that nearly took his life. Blanc sustained serious injuries and was in a coma for two weeks. During this time, he was not responding to his physician’s approaches until the professional decided to use the name Bugs Bunny to ask his patient how he was feeling. In a weak voice, Blanc answered that he was fine.
