Goulet was most famous for playing Lancelot in the original 1960 Broadway production of "Camelot."

Last night, the lights on Broadway were dimmed for one minute in honor of Goulet.

He is survived by his wife, Vera, two sons Christopher and Michael, daughter Nicolette, and two grandchildren.

Robert Goulet Awaiting Lung Transplant

Goulet has been placed on a respirator and will not survive unless he receives a new pair of lungs. He was diagnosed with the disease on Sept. 30 after a rapidly progressing illness that began after he performed in Syracuse, N.Y. on Sept. 20.

Speaking by phone from the hospital, Vera Goulet said doctors inserted a breathing tube down her husband's throat and sedated him, and that they were last able to speak two weeks ago.

"He said, 'Just give me a new pair of lungs and I'll hit the high notes until I'm 100,'" she said.

"I told him I loved him. He told me he loves me. He was ready to have the tube inserted. And he said, 'Just watch my vocal cords.'" The couple's 25th wedding anniversary was Oct. 17.
