Robert Goulet: 1933-2007

Robert Goulet, the velvet-voiced actor/singer who originated the role of Sir Lancelot in Broadway's Camelot, died yesterday.

Known primarily for his Grammy Award-winning recording career, Goulet did appear onscreen occasionally in such movies as Atlantic City, Scrooged, Beetlejuice and The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear. He also lent his distinctive vocal talents to animated films, like Gay Purr-ee, Toy Story 2 and Recess: School's Out.

Goulet won the Tony Award for his role in Happy Time and starred in several popular television productions of stage musicals, including Brigadoon, Carousel and Kiss Me Kate. His last Broadway role was Georges in the recent revival of La Cage aux Folles.
