#Quote
1A great place Hollywood. I come here in 1939, sign a movie contract, make pictures -- and seven years later, I'm discovered. DD, recalling his breakthrough film role in Mother Wore Tights (1947).
2In Hollywood, after you get a little success, the next thing you usually get is a divorce.
#Fact
1Dan's first wife, Esther Rodier, was a high school sweetheart; second wife Elizabeth Hofert was a Los Angeles socialite; third wife Gwen Carter O'Connor was a former actress and the ex-wife of actor Donald O'Connor; fourth wife Carol Warner was a dancer.
2Reunited on stage in later years with his favorite co-star Betty Grable when they co-starred in "Guys and Dolls" at the Dunes Hotel in Vegas in late 1962 and in "High Button Shoes" in Southern California in 1964.
3According to an in-depth article written by Frances Ingram in the January 2001 issue of Classic Images film magazine, Dan was buried in his favorite pink hunting jacket and singer and long-time friend John Raitt sang at his funeral.
4Signed by MGM in 1940, the song-and-dance man was instead put into straight acting roles that went nowhere. His career was interrupted by military service. At first making training films in Long Island, he later served with the Cavalry at Fort Riley, Kansas, where he taught recruits how to ride horses. He was eventually sent overseas and served with the 88th Infantry Regiment in northern Italy.
5Understudied Ray Bolger on Broadway in the musical "On Your Toes" before finding a rewarding employment in the musicals "Babes in Arms" and "Stars in Your Eyes". In the latter Ethel Merman starrer, he was the dancing partner of ballerina Tamara Toumanova.
6As an expert horseman, Dan won 75 ribbons at horse shows. He especially enjoyed training horses for jumping competitions.
7Born in New York City and raised as a child in Long Island, his father, James J. Dailey was a hotel man. His mother's name was Helen.
8First appeared on stage at age six in a minstrel show singing "Here Comes Danny O'Neill".
9Lectured on the college circuit in later years speaking on dance and motion, the art of acting in dance and the importance of acting to the dancer.
10Broke his hip in a fall while performing in the play "The Odd Couple" in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1977. Confined to a wheelchair, he later continued to perform despite his confinement.
11Interred at Forest Lawn (Glendale), Glendale, California, USA, in the Court of Freedom, lot #7065.
12Older brother of actress Irene Dailey.
13His only child, Dan Dailey III, committed suicide in 1975
