FWIW, no mention of that incident here: [Marty Feldman - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Feldman#Death) In play: Also per Wiki: British actor Marty Feldman suffered from thyroid disease and developed Graves’ ophthalmopathy, causing his eyes to protrude and become misaligned. A childhood injury, a car crash, a boating accident and reconstructive eye surgery may also have contributed to his appearance. He later described his appearance as a factor in his career success: “If I aspired to be Robert Redford, I’d have my eyes straightened and my nose fixed and end up like every other lousy actor, with two lines on _Kojak_. But this way I’m a novelty.” ---
