Veteran Royal Shakespeare Actor and Voice artist Tony Jay
having been in critical condition following micro surgery
at Cedar Sinai Hospital, in April, loses long fight to recover.
In April 2006, Tony Jay was admitted to Cedar Sinai Hospital
for micro surgery to remove a non cancerous tumor
from his lungs. In recovery his vital signs became critical and since
April through strength and determination he began to recover both his
breathing and mobility. Although it was a possibility that he might
have been able to return home, in the next few months, on Sunday Tony
Jay was unable to realize that dream. He is survived by his wife Marta
and his son Adam, who follows in his fathers footsteps in the field of
Acting.
Tony Jay leaves a vast legacy of work in television, voice and film,
with appearances with Arnold Schwartzenegger, Danny Devito, Woody
Allen, Karl Malden, Kim Bassinger, Dan Ackroyd to name a few. His
television performances include Beauty and the Beast (as the
arch-villain Paracelcus), Golden Girls, Murphy Brown, Hunter, Bob
Newhart, Night Court, Star Trek, Lois and Clark, Sisters and recently
Burning Zone. His work in voice acting includes Mighty Max, Bruno the
Kid, Tale Spin, Savage Dragon, Reboot and many more. His role as Judge
Frollo in Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame", a role that has been been
critically acclaimed as "probably the best Disney villain to date".
His recent self produced CD "Poets on Broadway" revealed his passion
for the Broadway musical with his voice guiding the lyrics of some of
the greatest Broadway songs, accompanied by his own arrangements,
played by himself.
He will be laid to rest on Saturday, August 19, 2006 at Forest Lawn
Memorial Park Hollywood, California.

Tony Jay was truly one of the great voices, and he was excellent on
that weird Beauty and the Beast series.
Anybody who ever confused him with Thurl Ravenscroft could easily be
forgiven.
