> [@Lumpy](#): > > Raye was sort of a knockoff of Diller (or vice-versa) I had to look this up. Raye (8/27/1916-10/19/1994) is actually 11 months older than Diller (7/17/1917-8/20/2012). According to their Wiki pages, Raye was performing on Broadway by the age of 18 and in a movie two years later. Diller didn’t appear in front of an audience until 1955, as @What_Exit noted. Carry on. ---
