He was a brilliant comic. He sang well enough to do duets with Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, and Beverly Sills. Danny Kaye danced beautifully with Vera-Ellen, often considered the best technical dancer in the movies. His movies gathered legions of fans. His TV show won awards. But the many faces of Danny Kaye are not limited to his unparalleled career in entertainment. Danny Kaye was also a gourmet chef, a licensed pilot, a  baseball team owner, a devoted gardener, and, most importantly, the first celebrity to become an international spokesman for a charity.

Danny Kaye’s involvement with UNICEF set the model that countless celebrities would follow. He traveled the world, again and again, to draw attention to the plight of children living in harsh circumstances. When UNICEF was awarded the Nobel peace prize, the organization asked Danny Kaye to accept the award.

It’s hard to name another entertainer who could do all the things Danny Kaye could do – nor name an entertainer more committed to charity.

The many faces of Danny Kaye also involve a darker side. Despite the fact that he seemed affable, Danny Kaye was a complex man, not always easy to love or understand. In this fast-paced multimedia presentation, filled with fabulous film clips, you will get to know the many faces of Danny Kaye.
