Don LaFontaine Dies at 68 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Another beloved talent passes on. We all know this man as "the guy who narrates all those movie trailers" with that distinct voice that everyone tries to imitate when replaying a trailer in their mind.

He will definetely be missed.

Very sad. I knew the voice, though I'd never previously been able to put a name to it.

I can't believe Don LaFontaine just pass away. I'll also miss hearing his voice as well.

Movie trailer announcers will NEVER have the same huge amount of impact that Don had in the business.
