Danny Kaye died and went to Valhalla

No, really.

When actor, singer and comedian Danny Kaye died, may or may not have been rewarded by an afterlife of continual combat, death, glory, and resurrection in the halls of the Viking gods (probably not).  But he was interred in Kensico Cemetery, in the hamlet of Valhalla, NY (part of Mount Pleasant in Westchester County) back in 1987.

He wasn't much of a fighter, but given his history of entertaining the troops, it's not hard to imagine him stopping by to lead a rousing chorus of "Who dropped the mead barrel?" up there in the halls of Asgard anyway.
