Question: Which star from Herbie Goes Bananas passed away in 2008 ?

The Capers-Motte House is a pre-Revolutionary house at 69 Church Street in Charleston, South Carolina.  The house was likely built before 1745 by Richard Capers.  Later, the house was the home of Colonel Jacob Motte, who served as the treasurer of the colony for 27 years, before passing away in 1770.  His son, also named Jacob Motte, married Rebecca Brewton Motte, sister of Miles Brewton.  In 1778, Colonel James Parsons occupied the house; he was a member of the Continental Congress and had been offered the vice-presidency of South Carolina before the formation of the United States.  From 1800 to 1811, O'Brien Smith, a member of Congress, owned the house.  He passed away in 1779, leaving the house to his widow.  Later it was owned by his sister Honora Smith Pyne.  Mrs. William Mason Smith bought the house in 1869, and her granddaughter, American artist Miss Alice Ravenel Huger Smith lived in the house in the 20th century.  The house was restored to its Georgian and Adam period appearance, with later changes removed, when it was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Cecil in 1969. <SEP> Harvey Herschel Korman (February 15, 1927May 29, 2008) was an American comedic actor who performed in television and film productions and was also a voice artist.  His big break was being a featured performer on CBS' "The Danny Kaye Show", but he is best remembered for his performances on the sketch comedy series "The Carol Burnett Show" and in several films by Mel Brooks. <SEP> Paul McDonald (born 1961 in Walsall) is a British academic, comic novelist, and poet.  He teaches English and American Literature at the University of Wolverhampton, where he also runs the Creative and Professional Writing Programme.  He left school at 16 and began work as a saddlemaker, an occupation that provides the backdrop for his first novel, "Surviving Sting" (2001).  After a period studying with the Open University, McDonald entered full-time education at Birmingham Polytechnic where he began writing fiction, initially producing stories for the women's romance market under a female pseudonym.  He later won a scholarship to research a PhD, and in 1994 took an academic post teaching American literature at the University of Wolverhampton.  His second novel, "Kiss Me Softly, Amy Turtle" (2004) is a comic mystery satirising the Midlands town of Walsall, while his third, "Do I Love You?"  (2008), takes Northern Soul as its theme.  His poetry began appearing in the early 1990s and embraces a range of themes and styles.  Again humour is a feature, as is surrealism, but he also writes serious love poetry, and verse about art and travel.  His most recent collections are "Catch a Falling Tortoise" (2007) and "An Artist Goes Bananas" (2012).  McDonald's poetry has won several prizes, including the 2012 John Clare Prize.  His academic writing includes books on Philip Roth, Joseph Heller, the fiction of The Black Country, and humour.  As a humour specialist he has made several TV appearances, including BBC Breakfast and The One Show, and he is credited with identifying the oldest joke in the world.  He discusses the latter, and some of the ideas contained in his book "The Philosophy of Humour" with Michael Grade in the BBC documentary, "Michael Grade & The World's Oldest Joke". <SEP> Herbie Goes Bananas is a 1980 American comedy adventure film and the fourth in a series of films made by Walt Disney Productions starring Herbie – the white Volkswagen racing Beetle with a mind of its own.
