Yeah well all the Hogan's Heroes fans on my FL remember when Newkirk did his Bogart, Lorre, & Greenstreet impersonations. Well I just found a video of Dawson on The Diana Dors (that's his first wife) show doing about 14 different impersonations in a row. It's a really a lot of fun to watch so I am sharing. :)

Now he says the name of the person he is impersonating before each impression but because of static I could not catch them all:
These are who he is impersonating in order
1) Not Sure
2)
Billy Eckstine 3)
George Sanders4)
Godfrey Winn5)
Nat King Cole6)
Peter Lorre7)
James Cagney 8) Not Sure
9)
David Whitfield10)
Cary Grant11)
Liberace12)
Robert Mitchum13) Not Sure
My favorites of the ones I am familiar with are Lorre, Cagney and Mitchum. They are all excellent impressions of these actors. Almost pitch perfect. In fact I couldn't even hear him say Cagney at first but I knew who he was doing right away from the voice.
And the final one (where he doesn't say the voice) it's killing me that I can't place it because I know I know that voice (and it's an excellent impression). I think it might possibly be
Jerry Lewis. But if someone knows for sure who it is please let me know.
