Jerry Weintraib wanted to be Elvis Presley’s concert promoter back in the early 70’s. Jerry telephoned Colonel Parker to tell him he want to take his boy around the country so after my rebuffs the Colonel told him to meet him in Las Vegas with one million dollars in cash. Jerry struggled to raise the cash from family and friends, he managed to get the funds together eventually all down to one telephone call from a mystery man. Jerry struck a deal with the man and flew to Vegas with the money. The money came from Danny Kaye. Jerry Weintraub made both himself and Danny extremely wealthy through that deal. Danny Kaye was an extraordinary individual.

His humor never appealed to me but there's no denying he was a most interesting man.

[@nicfewer8393]

"Why did he waste money on flights"? He had to fly to get to the children all around the world that he helped, like Audrey Hepburn and all other humanitarians.

[@barsouk]

Is the original keyboard player of Yes Tony Kaye related to Danny? Tony Kaye came back Yes for their 90125 album featuring Owner of a Lonely Heart in 1983.

[@bernadinesila679]

Danny was in a movie that wanted to Declare War on US so they could get $ to rebuild their poor country…Reminds one of Ukrainian. Wonder what it’s title was ?

[@lilyemmalindsay9025]

Was Danny born in 1911 or 1913? On IMDB & findagrave.com says 1911.

[@nolanresources]

View the explanation on my website here: www.dannykaye.net/dkfaq.html#Born

[@lilyemmalindsay9025]

definitivedkfansite so he was really born in 1911. A lot of ppl lied about what year they were born in in those days.

[@He805]

[@vino140]

Sylvia Fine was "a piece of work." Howwid dame.

[@Clemburke1111]

I believe he was & in the closet and did not get the Hep C through blood transmission but living on the down low . It was common i those days

[@HomeFreeinmySUV]

If he cared about kids soooo much...WHY did he waste money on flights...and NOT on helping poor and needy kids????

[@nicfewer8393]

He had to fly to get to the children all around the world he did help, just like Audrey Hepburn and all humanitarians.

Little kids would have been horrified to know that Danny Kaye had such a foul mouth. All those F bombs.
