Nelson Hepburn: For many years, Dom DeLuise would stop by. One time, he was famished and in a hurry, he said, "I'll have four to go." And he gobbled one down, not waiting, and it got choking in his throat! I ran behind him, I gave him the Heimlich, hit him in the stomach, and it popped out, fell into the water, I resold it, no one was the wiser.. .
