An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Stage Show Poster (WC; measures 15" x 22 1/2" [38 x 57 cm]) (Learn More) Wayne Newton is a singer and stage performer from the 1960s to the present. He has English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and German as well as Native American (specifically Powhatan and Cherokee) ancestry. In the 1960s, he was a very popular singer with a very clean cut youthful appearance, with hits like "Danke Schon". However, because he had a high pitched voice, many joked (wrongly) that he was effeminate or even gay, and Johnny Carson made Newton the butt of his jokes, but when Newton threatened Carson, he stopped telling the jokes. In the 1970s, he reinvented himself with a completely different image, and became more successful than ever! He has performed over 30,000 solo shows in Las Vegas which has earned him the nicknamed of "Mr. Las Vegas". He has also appeared in a few movies from the 1950s to the present, usually in cameo roles as himself. As of 2021, he is still alive at the age of 79! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this surely seems to be an original window card from early in Newton's adult career. It was for an appearance in Portland, and the dates at the bottom likely correspond to 1965, when Newton was 23, and before he became a major star. Condition: good to very good. Someone added a piece of masking tape at lower right with the name of the comedian who was performing, Dave Bevans. There is scuffing across the top and pinholes in the corners.
