Film Debut
Even though he wasn’t active in the entertainment industry in the 50’s, Dangerfield did have his film debut then. He was uncredited, but played an “onlooker” for Stanley Kubrick movie, The Killing (1956). You have to start somewhere in show biz.
Marriage To Joan Child
Rodney Dangerfield married his second wife in 1993, and they were together until his death in 2004. Back when they first met in a flower shop in the late 70’s, Dangerfield approached her and asked, “What kind of drugs do you like?” To which she replied, “Antibiotics, I guess.” He found her response endearing, and they dated over the years until marrying in Vegas. She was 30 years his junior.
