And when out of character, he was often angry or manic, although he could be very kind. His home life sounds like it was horrible, as he would become a comedic character, and would remain in character for the entire night or longer. His marriage with Sylvia Fine is also incredibly interesting, in that she was his manager and seemed to love him, but he seemed to resent her control and being married to a woman. I have always been very fascinated by, and curious about, his personal life, including his struggle with mental health. His vaudevillian performances based upon his talent for physical comedy, impressions, and songs, particularly in The Court Jester (which is amazing, in my opinion) are incredibly fun to watch. As were Bob Hope and Humphrey Bogart, who apparently referred to him as their favorite comedian. Ever since seeing Danny Kaye star in White Christmas alongside Bing Crosby, I've been a big fan.
