}} Rodney Dangerfield (born Jacob Rodney Cohen, November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004) was an American stand-up comedian and actor, known for the catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme. He is also remembered for his 1980s film roles, especially in ''Easy Money'', ''Caddyshack'', and ''Back to School''. ==Early life== Dangerfield was born in Deer Park, Babylon, New York, in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.〔("Rodney Dangerfield, Comic Seeking Respect, Dies at 82" ) ''New York Times'' October 6, 2004〕 He was the son of Jewish parents, the vaudevillian performer Phil Roy (Philip Cohen) and Dotty Teitelbaum. His ancestors came to the United States from Hungary. Dangerfield's father was rarely home; Rodney would normally see him only twice a year. Late in life, Rodney's father begged him for forgiveness and Dangerfield forgave him. After his father abandoned the family, his mother moved him and his sister to Kew Gardens, Queens and he attended Richmond Hill High School (Queens, New York) where he graduated in 1939. To support himself and his family, he worked jobs like selling newspapers (in which he would get paid a dollar), selling ice cream at the beach, and delivering groceries.〔 At the age of 15, he began to write for stand-up comedians, and he himself began to perform at a resort in Ellenville, New York, at the age of 19 under the name ''Jack Roy'', to which he legally changed his name. He struggled financially for nine years, at one point performing as a singing waiter until he was fired, and also working as a performing acrobatic diver before giving up show business to take a job selling aluminum siding to support his wife and family. He later said that he was so little known then that "at the time I quit, I was the only one who ''knew'' I quit!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rodney Dangerfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
