Danny Kaye
 ONE
of the most famous stars of Hollywood, Danny Kaye, was in Delhi some
years back to visit India and help destitute children on behalf of the
UNICEF. He held a Press conference in a five-star hotel where he regaled
the audience with his inimitable gestures. Wearing a hat and dressed
informally, Danny Kaye was an instantaneous hit.
As the conference ended, a
sketch of his was ready to greet him and as he looked at it, he was
immensely delighted. He went on speaking ecstatically about his
experiences in India, ignoring my request to autograph the drawing. It
was several minutes before he cut short his talk and listened to my
request. He said, "I look pretty" and signed his sketch.
