John Fiedler, voice of Piglet, dies at 80
June 27, 2005, 4:32 AM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) _John Fiedler, a stage actor who won fame as the voice of Piglet in Walt Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh films, died Saturday, The New York Times reported in Monday editions. He was 80.
Fiedler served in the Navy during World War II before beginning a stage career in New York. He performed in supporting roles alongside Sidney Poitier on Broadway, John Wayne in Hollywood and Bob Newhart on television.
But he was best known for the squeaky voice of the ever-worrying Piglet that he landed when someone noticed his naturally high-pitched voice.
"Walt Disney heard it on a program and said, 'That's Piglet,"' his brother James Fiedler told The Times.
In addition to his brother, Fiedler is survived by a sister, Mary Dean, The Times reported. The newspaper did not report the cause or location of his death.

That's very very sad. [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] I've been reading alot about dying and injuries on the disscussion boards.
Everybody's got a laughing place - trouble is most folks won't take the time to go look for it.
