He may be gone…but not forgotten. One of the credits to Rodney Dangerfield…is putting UW-Madison on the big screen. In the movie Back to School…Dangerfield plays the character of the world’s oldest, and richest, living freshman to the hilt. In the 1986 movie…the Madison campus is highlighted scene after scene…despite the fact that Dangerfield is supposedly attending Grand Lakes University. Some call the film his biggest achievement on the movie screen.
