Grammy Winner
Not only was Rodney well known for his films, but this comedian also won a Grammy for his comedy album, No Respect, in 1981. That album is a huge part of his legacy today and still a fan favorite. So is his musical number on the 1983 album, Rappin’ Rodney, but we’ll get to that.

Back To School
Did you know Back to School was one of the first movies to ever gross more than $100 million? Now, something to note is that Rodney Dangerfield’s characters in movies were a bit different than his stand up persona. The film characters were popular and generally successful but a bit too loud and usually hated by the upper class. For Dangerfield’s role as Thornton, he was nominated for an American Comedy Award as funniest lead actor.
