Wayne Newton Born Carson Wayne Newton on April 3rd, 1942, Wayne Newton is one of
America's most notable entertainers. He earned his nickname "Mr. Las
Vegas" by helping to put the sin city on the map entertaining tirelessly
for over 3 decades.
Guiness Book of World Records once listed Wayne
Newton as the world's highest paid entertainer. Although he filed
for bankruptcy in 1992.
Wayne Newton was discovered originally by Jackie Gleason. His
first hit song soon followed called "Danke Schoen". Many ridiculed
Wayne Newton for his high pitched voice, and when his song was on the
radio most people thought that it was indeed a female singing the song.
Wayne tired of this ridicule and even threatened Johnny Carson about
making jokes at his expense. Johnny stopped joking about Wayne.
Wayne resides on the southeast side of Las Vegas in a mansion called
"Casa de Shenandoah". Wayne held a nightly show at The Stardust
Hotel in Las Vegas before the hotel was destroyed on November 1st, 2006.
Wayne was awarded the1992 Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor in The
Dark Backward (1991). Wayne also received a "Razzie Award" in 1991
for Worst Supporting Actor in The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) with
Actor / Comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay.

Performance by a Musician on a TV Show on "The Lucy Show" (1962). |
