Buttons, winner of television's
and movies' highest awards, has
been equally successful on stage,
in night clubs and the recording
field.
It all began on street corners
in Manhattan where as Aaron
Chwatt, Buttons
sang and danced
for pennies. At
15, convinced he
had "enough book
knowledge," he
performed in
amateur nights,
and a year later
played his first
season in the Cat-
skills as boy sing-
er. It was during
a rend ition of
"When Irish Eyes
are Smiling" that
Red's voice
broke, coming out
"When Jewish Buttons
eyes are crying". He switched to
comedy. Two years later he grad-
uated to Minsky's, and in his sec-
ond season in burlesque became
"top banana".
He made his Broadway bow
when Jose Ferrer shangaied him
from Minsky.
In 1943, Buttons tested for
Paramount Studios, but was
drafted before he could get to
Hollywood. Selected by Moss
Hart for a lead in "Winged Vic-
tory", the Air Corps show which
