Marty Feldman died on this day 42 years ago, aged 48. - Feldman's famous bug-eyes were the result of Graves' ophthalmopathy, made more pronounced by vehicle accidents and botched reconstructive eye surgery. - Feldman initially wanted to become a jazz musician before becoming a comedian, playing the trumpet. His first comedy act was in a group called "Morris, Marty and Mitch", appearing on a 1955 episode of Showcase. Feldman delved into television further when he paired up with Barry Took and created Bootsie and Snudge in 1960. - Feldman was a principal writer of The Frost Report, where he would collaborate with many famous comedians of the day- including most of Monty Python, two of The Goodies, The Two Ronnies, and Tom Lehrer. Feldman would also co-opt some of their work into his own material, such as in his 1974 TV special Marty Back Together Again: - In terms of acting, Feldman was best known as Igor (it's pronounced eye-gore) in Young Frankenstein. He collaborated with Mel Brooks again in his 1976 film Silent Movie as Marty Eggs (an obvious expy of himself). - Feldman was also known for being a guest star in a 1981 episode of The Muppet Show: - Feldman died of a heart attack during the production of his final film Yellowbeard- likely caused from his chronic smoking habit. The epitaph on his grave is a message from his wife Lauretta- "He made us laugh, he took my pain away, I love you."

Nelly Furtado is 46.
