Catherine Dailey Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Brassy, gangly Cass Daley, the daughter of a streetcar conductor, started her career as a band vocalist. She displayed a flair for zany comedy that made her a big hit in nightclubs and on radio, and she started working in films in the early 1940s. Her eccentric, off-the-wall singing and dancing combined with her gawky, buck-toothed appearance ...
She was awarded two Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television at 6301 Hollywood Boulevard and for Radio at 6710 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
2
Her only son, Dale Kinsella, pursued a career in law.
3
Originally a Plain-Jane torch singer, she was upstaged during one of her singing performances by a buffoonish emcee Red Skelton and was inspired to switch to outright comedy. Her first husband, Frank Kinsella, a talent agent who became her manager as well, persuaded her to incorporate her two gifts -- singing and slapstick.
4
Some of her songs recorded for Decca Records include: "Abba Dabba Honeymoon", "Put the Blame on Mame" and "A Good Man Is Hard to Find".
5
The late "Mamas and Papas" pop/folk singer Cass Elliot, whose real name was Ellen Naomi Cohen, called herself Cass in tribute to Ms. Daley.
6
She was a regular on the radio series, "The Fitch Bandwagon," for which she was voted radio's most popular comedienne.
7
Died after a fall on broken glass that severed her jugular vein.
