Also, actor/comedian Art Metrano died September 8, age 84. He was known for his stand-up act as well as appearances in the "Police Academy" film series. His career was severely curtailed in 1989 when a devastating accident temporarily left him a near-quadriplegic. He later turned his experience into a one-man show that he performed from a motorized wheelchair.

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
