    Danny is a saint and is responsible for saving the lives of millions of children. St. Jude has made magnificent strides in the cure of cancer in children. It was 20% before St.Jude and is now 80% curable today. God bless this wonderful good man.

    His real birth name was Muzyad Yakhoob, then his parents later changed his name to Amos Joseph Jacobs until finally he decided to change his name to Danny Thomas a name that he took from the first names of two of his brothers, Danny after his younger brother and Thomas after his eldest brother. God bless him.

      They also lived and I believe he was born in Deerfield, MI where my father lived. His uncle, aunt and cousins lived in Dundee, MI. I remember going to VT to visit his Aunt and cousins as a little girl and standing with my mouth open when I met his cousin, Omyer Corbin. I was sure they were pulling my leg and that he was Danny Thomas! There are still people from Dundee who remember meeting Danny Thomas, back when he was a young Mr. Yakhoob. It's always amazed me that I didn't find out those things until just about the time we went to VT!

    One day I went into a fast food place at the corner of Sunset Blvd & Vine St when I lived in Hollywood many years ago, and who did I see standing in line like every one else: Danny Thomas. He was truly a humble man (by the way, the studio where this show was filmed in the 1950's was approx. 5 blocks from where I saw Danny in the early 1980's.) It REALLY is a small world after all

    I like that Danny was so sentimental about family and friends that several characters in 'Make Room for Daddy' were named after them - Margaret, Terry, Julia, Tonoose (Anthony), Charley, etc. Some episodes also included what we would now call 'shout outs' featuring real-life professional colleagues such as columnist Earl Wilson and Jack Entrater of the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas.

      That's because she later had her nose fixed- without Danny's approval. He believed that people would accept him for what he was- NOSE and all (he lost the opportunity to become a star at MGM in the late 1940's because he refused to alter his beak, on Louis B. Mayer's suggestion).

    • @fromthesidelines
      @fromthesidelines Год назад

      By the third season of "MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY", Danny wasn't satisfied with Jean or her appearance. And when her husband insisted he wouldn't let her be directed by "that gangster actor" {Sheldon Leonard, who became Danny's production partner}, that was the "deal breaker". He got rid of Jean before the fourth season- and made sure she'd never appear again by having "Margaret Williams" die off-camera, leaving him a widower [the show's title was also changed to "THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW"]. It took him the better part of a season to find a suitable replacement....which was Marjorie Lord (as "Kathy").

    About 6:50, Danny said when he was born, he was delivered by a horse doctor. I knew this long ago, before I had a tablet, I read Danny's autobiography; the vet called Danny a "fine young colt". Later this program doesn't mention, in the 1940s,when his movie career was starting, a movie producer was saying to him to "fix the beak" ( its obvious he never did).

    • @fromthesidelines
      @fromthesidelines 4 года назад +1

      Danny had several sponsors before he moved from ABC to CBS in 1957 (for General Foods, on behalf of Post cereals and Maxwell House). Originally, American Tobacco [Pall Mall] was his primary sponsor from 1953 through '56, with Speidel watchbands as his alternate sponsor during the first half of the 1953-'54 season- then Chrysler's Dodge division replaced them through the end of the 1955-'56 season. In the fall of 1956......his last on ABC, as "THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW".....Danny was sponsored by Kimberly-Clark [Kleenex] and Armour & Co. [Dial soap].

    Leonardo DiCaprio could play him in a biopic.

    They should have let the older woman sit down, they could have brought out a chair! Danny seems like a kind hearted person, and of course he was a man of faith.
