RIP: In a World.. Where...
RIP Don Lafontaine



Don LaFontaine, the man who popularized the catch phrase "In a world where..." and lent his voice to thousands of movie trailers, has died. He was 68. LaFontaine died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center from complications in the treatment of an ongoing illness, said Vanessa Gilbert, his agent.

LaFontaine made more than 5,000 trailers in his 33-year career while working for the top studios and television networks.

He helped redefine the voice over business. It's really because of him that people recognized the power of a familiar but deep rich voice. People like James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman, Dennis Haysbert, Avery Brooks and many other black actors got work because of the hunt for strong voices.
"I left the east side for a west coast beauty, A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree, She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty, A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine, Her body was my favourite book to read
They say that all poets must have and unrequited love -As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
But holding on to you means letting go on pain
Means letting go of tears, Means letting go of rain, Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you" (Sananda Maitreya, TTD )
