Owen Patrick McNulty, aka "Dennis Day," was the second son born to Irish immigrant parents who settled in New York City. Brimming with talent and a passion for entertainment, he joined the Glee Club of Manhattan College. To make ends meet, Day began moonlighting as a singer and it was by chance that he was discovered by Mary Livingstone, the wife of infamous comedian, Jack Benny. In 1939 Dennis Day got his first big break, bagging a guest appearance in the Jack Benny Show. However, soon after his debut, Day's career was forced to take a backseat as he enlisted to serve in the US Navy from 1944 until 1946. Once out of service, he was back in the spotlight andmade sure that he would remain there for a long time. Most notable amongst his old radio shows was his presence as a mainstay in the Jack Benny Show. It was also around this time that he was granted the opportunity to star in his own old time radio program titled "A Day in the Life of Dennis Day," which focused mainly on his supposed relationship problems with his girlfriend Mildred Anderson. In 1954, Day began starring in a short-lived live show called "The Dennis Day Show." Click here to read more about Day In The Life Of Dennis Day, A
