The name I logged in as is from what movie?



Trivia
Was a Ventriloquist in his early years from out of High School and his doll was named, Danny.

Enlisted in the United States Army at age 19.

Older brother "Shadow" died of asthma in 1942.

Took an early job plucking chickens for a market when he was told he didn't have a future in acting.

He was the youngest of four brothers. His family life was troubled; Knotts' father twice threatened his mother with a knife and later spent time in mental hospitals, while older brother Earl - nicknamed "Shadow" because of his thinness - died of asthma in 1942 when Knotts was still a teenager.

Date of death
24 February 2006
Beverly Hills, California, USA. (pulmonary and respiratory complications)
