MINI BIO:

Cass Daley was an American singer-comedienne whose jitterbugging comedy routines enlivened a few 1940's musicals, but who was really just too exuberant to stay on the film scene for long. She came out of retirement in 1966 to do nightclubs, nostalgia shows and the occasional film, but died in a freak accident when glass pierced her neck in a fall at home.

Cass Daley Facts
She was awarded two Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television at 6301 Hollywood Boulevard and for Radio at 6710 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

Some of her songs recorded for Decca Records include: "Abba Dabba Honeymoon", "Put the Blame on Mame" and "A Good Man Is Hard to Find".

Originally a Plain-Jane torch singer, she was upstaged during one of her singing performances by a buffoonish emcee Red Skelton and was inspired to switch to outright comedy. Her first husband, Frank Kinsella, a talent agent who became her manager as well, persuaded her to incorporate her two gifts -- singing and slapstick.
