Profile created on November 28, 2001.

Rodney was married to Joan Child from 1993 until his death.
Rodney's first marriage to Joyce Indig lasted 12 years. They divorced in 1961 and had two children together.
Rodney appeared on TV's "The Tonight Show" more than 70 times in his entertainment career.
He is best remembered for a line from his act, "I get no respect!"
He began his career in stand-up as Jack Roy back in the 1940's but turned to a business job for a more stable income. A natural on the comic stage, he went back to entertaining audiences by the time he was 40, working in the office during the day and the club circuit at night.
Rodney was a regular on 'The Dean Martin Show' from 1972-3.
He opened his own club, "Dangerfield's," in Manhattan in the Sixties. It is still there and continues to be a launch pad for many young comedians.
Rodney was the first entertainer to post an "official website" on the internet.
Rodney won a Grammy for his album "No Respect" in 1981 and also received the Lifetime Creative Achievement Award in 1994 at the American Comedy Awards.
