[Picks up tree; a lot of needles fall off] – A Charlie Brown Christmas 1965 and still my favorite holiday classic!
Sadly, Peter Robbins, who was the original voice of Charlie Brown, has died. He was 65. The actor’s family confirmed that he died by suicide last week.
Robbins started his career as the beloved cartoon character in the ’60s. He voiced Charlie Brown in the holiday classics A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown as well as in the feature film A Boy Named Charlie Brown.
