Movies : Don Lafontaine RIP

A Hollywood legend died yesterday. Most people wouldn't recognize the name, and even fewer would know the face; but everyone who has gone out to the movies for the last 40 years would certainly recognize the voice of Don Lafontaine – the "king" of movie trailer voice-overs (he did the narration of over 5000 movie trailers). His signature phrase "In a world where…" has been parodied many times.

A couple of links for those who still might not know who I am talking about:

- A short (5 minutes) biography

- A bit of humor with all five of the top voice-over artists.
