The Tragedy Of Mel Blanc From ''Bugs Bunny'' Will Break Your Heart, It Is So Sad

A 9-year-old boy picked up a cigarette butt off the street in 1917. That moment started an addiction that would destroy the most famous voice in America. Mel Blanc voiced Bugs Bunny while smoking three packs a day, sometimes recording for 14 hours straight until he collapsed. He made Warner Bros. billions, but earned just $350 a week. He missed his son's graduation because the studio scheduled a last-minute session. And when he tried to leave his voice recordings to children after he died, Warner Bros. locked them away forever. Today, we're uncovering the tragedy behind the man who made the world laugh.
