Dunkin' Donuts Ad Actor Michael Vale Dies
Dec 28, 1:18 AM EST
Michael Vale, the actor best known for his portrayal of a sleepy-eyed Dunkin' Donuts baker who said "Time to make the doughnuts," has died. He was 83.

Vale died Saturday in New York City of complications from diabetes, according to son-in law Rick Reil.

Vale's long-running character, "Fred the Baker," for the doughnut maker's ad campaign lasted 15 years until he retired in 1997.

Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' Donuts said in a statement that Vale's character "became a beloved American icon that permeated our culture and touched millions with his sense of humor and humble nature."

Vale was born in Brooklyn and studied acting at the Dramatic Workshop in New York City with classmates Tony Curtis, Ben Gazzara and Rod Steiger.

A veteran of the Broadway stage, film and television, Vale appeared in more than 1,300 TV commercials.

T-Day fun!

OK, I'm a little late on this, but Thanksgiving was fun! I went to SLC as most of you know and I spend three days there. The first two days, I simply sat on my butt in front of the TV (which was chockful of fun TiVo'd movies and shows) and did nothing.
Then we went to the mall and I saw a yellow mini with blue viper stripes and a british flag roof. Then on Saturday we went ice skating. I didn't fall once! Yay! I had a wonderful time with my sista Tam and bro in law Pauley.
