# | Quote |
---|
1 | [on Shakespeare] The more you study him, the greater he grows. |
2 | I've heard or read about actors being asked the immortal question "Why have you never married?". They answer with the immortal excuse "I just haven't found the right girl." Because I'm on the hefty side, no one's asked me yet. If they do, that's the answer I'll give. After all, if it was good enough for Monty Clift or Sal Mineo... |
3 | In 1938, of parents properly licensed to produce babies, I was born. I am now rich, famous, devilishly handsome and thirty-three years old. And I don't anticipate a time in the future when I shall be anything other than rich, famous, devilishly handsome and thirty-three years old. |
4 | Being on Batman (1966) allowed me to do something we actors are taught never to do: overact. |

6 | Victor Buono passed away on January 1, 1982, a month away from what would have been his 44th birthday on February 3. |
7 | Following his untimely death, he was interred with his mother Myrtle Buono at Greenwood Memorial Park in San Diego, California. |
8 | Became very popular on the television talk show circuit due to his wit and wisdom. He made several appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962) which helped put his comedy album "Heavy!" on the map. He performed a special version of "Fat Man's Prayer", and sold over over 60,000 the following week. Other cuts included "A Word to the Wide" and "We're the Most". |
9 | In 1980, Buono played the memory-impaired Reverend Jim Ignatowski's millionaire father on Taxi (1978). In actuality, he was only eight months older than Christopher Lloyd, who played Jim. Buono's death in 1982 was written into the series with an episode about Jim's father passing away. |
10 | Will always be remembered by baby-boomers for his roles as the nefarious King Tut and Count Carlos Manzeppi on the television series Batman (1966) and The Wild Wild West (1965), respectively. |
11 | Was a frequent guest on talk shows, reciting his own original poetry. Ultimately, in 1971, he recorded some of this poetry on the album "Heavy!" on a small label. |
