DAVE THOMAS DIES
AP is now reporting that Wendy's hamburger man Dave Thomas has died. I interviewed him about two years ago in Queens, where he was camped out at SilverCup Studios filming a new batch of commercials. He came off as very grandfatherly, selfless and nice to an extreme. His handlers spent some time explaining the "Dave bob" to me, the little lilting thing he does with his head at the end of the commercials. Apparently he came up with it himself years ago. While I was on the set, they spent a long time making sure he got the bob just right.
