Captain Lou Albano, one of the greatest professional wrestling managers of
all time, has passed away.
The legendary WWE Hall of Famer died at his home in Carmel, New York over
the night.
The Associated Press reported the following just moments ago:
Captain Lou Albano, the charismatic professional wrestler who
appeared in Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" video, has died. He was
76.
World Wrestling Entertainment confirmed the death Thursday on its Web
site.
Albano performed with WWE from 1983 to 1996, when he was inducted
into its hall of fame. He began his wrestling career in Canada in 1953.
Albano expanded his fan base greatly when he played Lauper's father
in the video for her hit single on a fledgling MTV in 1983. He later claimed to
be the catalyst for her success, according to WWE.
