Bert Savoy

Bert Savoy (1876/or 1888-1923), born Everett McKenzie was an American entertainer who specialized in cross-dressing as a vaudeville act. His comedic skits contributed to popular culture with phrases such as "You slay me" and "You don't know the half of it." He often partnered with Jay Brennan on Broadway. Savoy was a rival of sorts to the more famous Julian Eltinge and his star was on the rise when he was struck and killed by lightning while on the beach at Long Island New York. There are several reports of his last words, one being that after a clap of thunder he said "That will be quite enough out of you, Miss God!"

Savoy appeared in the 1918 edition of the Ziegfeld Follies.
