Dom DeLuise: Marilu Henner pays tribute to her friend and ‘Cannonball Run II’ costar

The first time I saw Dom DeLuise on the set of Cannonball Run II, he was wearing a nun’s habit. It was 116 degrees out and there he was in a nun’s habit. When I first got there, I couldn’t believe that I was meeting all of these people who I’d gone to see in the theater as a little girl: Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, and Shirley MacLaine, who was my idol. But there was something about Dom — even surrounded by all of those famous stars — he managed to be the center of attention because he just was so damn funny.
