Burle Icle Ivanhoe Ives Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives (June 14, 1909 – April 14, 1995) was an American actor, writer, and folk music singer. As an actor, Ives's work included comedies, dramas, and voice work in theater, television, and motion pictures. Music critic John Rockwell said, "Ives's voice ... had the sheen and finesse of opera without its latter-day Puccinian vulgarities and without the pretensions of operatic ritual. It was genteel in expressive impact without being genteel in social conformity. And it moved people." | Full Name | Burl Ives |

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I was fortunate to be born into a family of Masons. Indeed, my older sister Audrey was Grand Matron of the Order of Eastern Star in Illinois. My DeMolay experience came very naturally because of my father and brothers. Thus was my youth enhanced. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | He was the visual inspiration for the original illustrations of DC Comics super-villain Hector Hammond (created in 1961), one of the Hal Jordan/Green Lantern's archenemies. Ives was 60 years old at the point. Eventually, Hammond was played by Peter Sarsgaard in Green Lantern (2011). |
| 2 | He strongly opposed the United States entering World War II until the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, after which he avidly campaigned for the US to declare war on Germany and Italy. |
| 3 | An activist liberal Democrat, in 1952 he named fellow folk singer Pete Seeger and others as possible Communists to the House Unamerican Activities Committee (HUAC) in order to avoid being blacklisted. |
| 4 | He adopted a son, Alexander, with his first wife, Helen. When they separated in 1960, she got the custody. He also had three step-children with his second wife, Dorothy Koster Paul: Kevin Murphy, Rob Grossman, and Barbara Vaughn; and five grandchildren. |
| 5 | He died from complications of mouth cancer at his home in Anacortes, WA. His wife and three step-children were with him when he died. |
| 6 | A string of Ives' hit records, mostly for American Decca and primarily under the supervision of the legendary Owen Bradley, included such songs as "The Blue-Tail Fly" (his all-time biggest hit), "A Little Bitty Tear," "(It's Just My) Funny Way of Laughin'," "Mr. In Between" , "A Holly Jolly Christmas," and, of course, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.". |
| 7 | During the first season The Ren & Stimpy Show (1991) episode "Stimpy's Invention" featured a record, "Happy Happy Joy Joy," which contained a variety of spoken-word segments meant to parody some of Ives' albums from the 1960s. When Ives saw the episode, he contacted Ren and Stimpy Show creator John Kricfalusi and said that he would have been willing to do the voice over work for it. |
| 8 | Was a licensed amateur (ham) radio with the call sign KA6HVA. When he passed away, he became, in ham radio parlance, a "silent key." |
| 9 | He was a 33rd Degree Mason. |
| 10 | Was initiated into DeMolay at the George N. Todd Chapter in Charleston Illinois, in 1927. |
| 11 | Received the DeMolay Legion of Honor in 1986. |
| 12 | Was inducted into the DeMolay Hall of Fame on June 24th, 1994. |
| 13 | Burl Ives was the voice of Sam the Eagle, the narrator of the classic Disneyland attraction "American Sings" (1974-1988) in Tomorrowland. |
| 14 | Interred at Mound Cemetery, Jasper County, Illinois, USA. |
| 15 | Frequent benefits for Indian reservations, peace academies, Boy Scouts, environmental groups, arts foundations, children's medicine |
