Danny Kaye
Danny Kaye was an American entertainer (1911–1987) known for physical comedy, rapid-fire patter songs, and warm screen presence.
He starred in musical comedies like *The Secret Life of Walter Mitty* and *White Christmas*, and later hosted a variety show.
His tongue-twisting routines and rubber-faced expressiveness made him a distinctive comic performer of his era.
