BUDDY DOYLE

The entertainment world is full of forgotten artists, talented people who just never quite made it. One
name that will not be remembered by anyone is the name of Buddy Doyle. Doyle was born on April
20, 1894 in Brooklyn, New York. Born Benjamin Taubenhaus) to Russian immigrants, he began
acting in high school in minstrel shows in Brooklyn, New York. After he was discovered by comedian
and vaudeville actor Lew Dockstader, his career as an impersonator, comedian, and singer landed
him lead roles in all the major vaudeville circuits.

He had to quit vaudeville to fight during World War I, but returned after the war had ended. On
Broadway he performed in the original 1923 revue Artists and Models. His film credits include At a
Talkie Show (1929) and The Great Ziegfeld (1936), which he understudied for before playing Eddie
Cantor. He also performed in several editions of The Ziegfeld Follies and was a replacement actor for
Henry Williams in the 1928 Broadway production of Whoopee. Buddy was not only a performer but a
song writer as well. He wrote a song with Gene Austin entitled All That You Left Me Were Two Empty
Arms in 1926.

In 1927, Doyle married the beautiful Peggy Hoover. Peggy Hoover was an American dancer and
actress for vaudeville, Broadway, and regional theater. She began dancing as a child in Denver,
Colorado under Gladys Moore. During her freshman year of high school she was picked up by
vaudevillian Gus Edwards to perform in his fifteenth annual revue at the Orpheum Theatre in Denver.
Hoover would continue to perform with Edwards for several years in shows across the United States
and in London. She also appeared in Bobby Sanford's well-received Showboat Revue and performed
in multiple editions of Earl Carroll's Vanities. She made her Broadway debut in Hello, Yourself in
1928.

Buddy died suddenly during an appendix operation on November 9, 1939 in New York City, New
York. He was only 45. Peggy Hoover later remarried and continued her career in radio and
melodrama under the name Peggy Bloodgood. It's sad because as forgotten as Eddie Cantor is today -
Buddy Doyle is forgotten even more...
