Rudy Vallee (1901-1986) was an actor and singer, known for singing into megaphones, one of the early radio stars, and often appeared in screwball comedy films (notably Preston Sturges' The Palm Beach Story). He enjoyed a career comeback on Broadway in the 1960s, originating the role of pompous J. B. Biggley in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Vallee was mentioned in The Muppets Go Hollywood (Sam the Eagle has his autograph), and he was the inspiration for the Rudy Vallee Doozer on Fraggle Rock in "The Great Radish Famine."
