John Sigvard Olsen was born in Peru, Indiana on November 6, 1892.
In 1941 Universal Pictures presented Olsen and Johnson in a screen version of Hellzapoppin Although some of the finest comedy talent on the screen were added to the cast, the film was just a lot of weird happenings, a romantic triangle, and a mish-mash of musical numbers which resulted in a misfire.
Olsen and Johnson’s stage successes had relied largely on the fact that their comedy material was unrehearsed and spontaneous—for the screen, this wasn’t possible.

Dale Olsen’s lecture on John Haynie’s career was very thorough, even tracing the life of a young boy from approximately five years of age.

Olsen happily conducted closed-door meetings of the CIA and JDC for several years, blatantly disobeying the 1998 opinions from the City Attorney that said they should be open.

In Australia, Dennis Olsen is held in as high esteem as a G and S comedian as, say, John Reed is in the U.K. (Or as Ivan Menzies was to an earlier generation of Australian G and S fans.

However, to quote Olsen from his programme biography: "John Reed had a new lease of life, which is probably just as well because it enabled me to do all sorts of different things which I probably wouldn't have done....," and so Olsen returned to Australia at the end of the tour.
