My Take
Marty Feldman is one of comedy's great originals, and I mean that as the highest praise. Those famously misaligned eyes made him instantly unforgettable, but it was the sharp writer's mind behind them that I find most impressive. Before the screen fame, he honed his craft penning radio and television comedy, and that literary instinct gave his clowning real intelligence. His Igor in Young Frankenstein is, to me, a small masterpiece of physical absurdity. He died far too young at forty-eight in 1982, yet his peculiar genius keeps finding new audiences. A true comic eccentric, impossible not to love.
