Mr. Whipple Dies

As reported in The Washington Post: Wipe Away a Tear For Mr. Whipple, And 2-Ply Times.

"Dick Wilson, the actor who played Mr. Whipple in more than 500 Charmin commercials from 1964 to 1985, died Monday at age 91, at a hospital for ailing movie and television actors, way out in the San Fernando Valley. He'd done other parts, in sitcoms, but showbiz can only be counted on to give a guy one sure thing, if he's lucky, and Wilson got to be Mr. Whipple, forever."
