Don Rickles is one of the 20th Century's most famous funnymen. For almost
40 years he has appeared in top showrooms in Atlantic City, Reno, Lake
Tahoe and Las Vegas. He is regarded among the world's top entertainers.
Rickles is also highly visible on TV, as well as in motion pictures, including
appearances in "Casino", directed by Martin Scorsese, appearing
with Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci, "Toy Story,"
a revolutionary computer animated feature, for Walt Disney Pictures, and
the now cult classic, “Kelly’s Heroes”, as well as early
career roles in “Run Silent, Run Deep” and “Rat Race”.
He is also seen in the mega-hit “Toy Story 2”. Additionally,
he has starred in live stage productions and, along the way, has had two
best-selling comedy albums.
A small step forward in Rickles' career occurred in 1957 at a small Hollywood
nightclub. One night, Frank Sinatra wandered in. Rickles, still "unknown,"
eyed Sinatra and said, "I just saw your movie, 'The Pride and the
Passion,' and I want to tell you, the cannon was great." And, "Make
yourself at home, Frank. Hit somebody."
Sinatra doubled up laughing and became one of Rickles' biggest boosters
among Hollywood celebrities. Rickles soon became the "in" comic
among the Hollywood stars, who flocked to his nightclub engagements to
become the targets of his "insults" and the rest, as they say,
is history!
