Appreciation
Danny Kaye
was one of the most popular entertainers in the United States and England
during the 1940s and '50s, thanks largely to a string of successful films that
showcased his witty song-and-dance routines. Kaye worked on Broadway, having
success in the early '40s with Lady in the Dark. Audiences loved his energy and clever
wit and he was a popular stage performer during World War II, frequently
working with material written by his wife, lyricist Sylvia Fine. He made more
than a dozen popular movies, including The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947), The Inspector General(1959)
and The Court Jester (1956). For years Kaye was a spokesman
for the United Nation's Children's Fund, and in 1954 he was awarded a special
Oscar for his humanitarian efforts. During the '60s he was on TV, the star of The Danny Kaye Show (1963-67), but his style of
entertainment was no longer the rage and his popularity waned. His last
performance on screen was for the television movie Skokie (1981).
Extra credit:
One of
Kaye's more famous routines is from The Court Jester and
includes the line "the pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the
pestle, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true."
