The actor and comedian Bob Newhart has died at the age of 94. He was best known for his roles in Elf and Legally Blonde.

 

As a child, Bob Newhart used to be a comedian on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Soon after that, he started acting in movies like “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour” and “Catch-22.”

 

Before he was Papa Elf, he starred in Legally Blonde 2 and voiced Leonard the Polar Bear in the classic holiday animated movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

The Hollywood Reporter says Bob died Thursday morning. It has not been said what killed him.

The US Army called up Newhart.
Roman Catholic schools in and around Chicago, such as St. Catherine of Siena Grammar School in Oak Park and St. Ignatius College Prep, where he graduated in 1947, taught Bob Newhart.

He then went to Loyola University Chicago and graduated in 1952 with a bachelor’s degree in business management.

Newhart was drafted into the US Army after high school and worked as a personnel manager during the Korean War until he was released in 1954.

He only went to Loyola University Chicago School of Law for a short time and did not finish his degree. One of the reasons he left was because he was asked to do something unethical during an internship.
