It will never again be 'time to make the doughnuts'

michael vale to make no more doughnutsWhen the Dunkin' Donuts on my corner closed, I mourned for months. Now, Michael Vale, the actor who played the sleepy doughnut baker in so many commercials, has died. Dunkin' Donuts will forever be tinged with a sense of deep loss for me. Chocolate creme-filled doughnut, I hardly knew ye!

Michael Vale was 83 and was born in Brooklyn. Dunkin' Donuts campaign that featured him ran for 15 years, until its end in 1997. And in my opinion, nothing they've done since is half so compelling. It's a sad day for doughnut lovers everywhere.
