rdfs:comment | - Dick Shawn carved a reputation as a brash nightclub comic in the 1950s and 1960s, combining social satire, dance, and pantomime with a general "hip" delivery. He became a staple of the TV variety show circuit during that period. Today, Shawn may be best remembered for his film work in It's a Mad Mad Mad World (as Ethel Merman's son) and The Producers (as LSD, a hippy cast as Adolf Hitler), as well as supplying the voice of Snow Miser in the Rankin/Bass special Year Without a Santa Claus. Other film credits include What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? and Love at First Bite (with George Hamilton). Shawn passed away shortly after co-starring in 1987's Maid To Order.
