    • Trivia
      Was the mentor of Broadway actress/singer Susan Egan. While performing in the revival of "Bye, Bye Birdie", he told her how much he loved the way she sang her first song and would often sing along with her as a vocal warm-up while he was in a costume change. The song was "How Lovely to Be a Woman". Although Egan considered that to be a great compliment, she could not get the image of him singing that song in his underwear backstage out of her mind.
    • Quotes
