Red Buttons (born February 5, 1919) is the stage
name of United States|American comedian and actor
Aaron Chwatt.  He won an Academy Award for his
portrayal of Sergeant Joe Kelly in Sayonara
(1957).

Born in New York, New York|New York City, Chwatt
received the nickname as a young man, when he
worked as a waiter in Dinty Moore's tavern in the
Bronx — his uniform's shiny buttons and his
bright red hair caused patrons to give him the
name he would later perform under.

After years performing burlesque and doing comedy
routines in the Borscht Belt, Buttons received his
own variety series on television in 1952 —
The Red Buttons Show ran for three years and
achieved high levels of success.  His catchphrase
from the show, "strange things are happening",
entered the national vocabulary briefly in the
mid-1950s.

After his Oscar-winning role in Sayonara, Buttons
performed in numerous feature films, including
Hatari!, The Longest Day, The Poseidon Adventure,
They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, and Pete's Dragon.
 He became a nationally recognizable comedian, and
his "Never Got A Dinner" sketch was a standard at
the Dean Martin roasts for many years.
