The Princess and the Dwarf

I was one of the actors who never got paid.

The best part for me was,playing the "Kings Adviser" to Dom Deluise, the King.

Before the director would say action, I would lean over Dom's shoulder and say things like, "Orange Flash in the fifth at Belmont."

The first time I did it, he turned and said "What hell are you talking about,"

I said,"I'm advising the King."

Dom broke up, and after that we exchanged Italian recipes's.

On my 65th. birthday he sent me a lovely drawing of his.

The world will miss his wit, and charm.
