Dick Wilson (born Riccardo DiGuglielmo 30 July 1916 in England, served in the RCAF in WWII, became an American citzen in 1954) film & telebision actor & vaudeville comedic dancer, died @ the Motion Picture & Television Fund Hospital in Woodland Hills yesterday, at the age of 91. 
Poor bastard was best known as the character "Mr. Whipple," from doing those Charmin tee pee commercials from 1964 until 1985. Typecasting may be a drag, but it sho' nuff do pay them bills.
Two separate rôles as a drunk in jail, once w/ each Darrin on Bewitched.With "the kind of pictures they're making today," Wilson told the Associated Press in 1985, "I'll stick with toilet paper." Tell it like it is, Dick. Tell it like it is.
