You don't know who Red Buttons is.

He is a popular actor and comedian of the 50's and 60's. He won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Sayonara. He also appears in films such as Poseidon Adventure and Pete's Dragon.

He is most famous for his "Never had a dinner" jokes.

His real name is Aaron Chwatt.

He got his stage name when he was a lad working at Dinty Moore's Tavern in the Bronx as a singer/waiter. He had to wear a uniform with 48 buttons, and with his red hair people started referring to him as Red Buttons.

Did I mention he was a Oscar Winner.

Appropriately, the supporting Oscar winners (Red Buttons and Miyoshi Umeki) are the only memorable things in Sayonara. But he's definitely more well-known from The Poseidon Adventure.
