Raised by a clown himself, his father worked in a circus when Red Skelton was young. With his authentic training, he successfully brought this type of comedy into Radio, Television and Motion Pictures more than any other comedian.
Keeping true to the title of his most popular film, "The Court Jester" (1956),
Danny Kaye proved himself as the "King of Jesters and Jesters of Kings."
As a tribute to his film and character, "The Nutty Professor" (1963),
Jerry Lewis is as crazy as they come.
Who needs scripts when you're with Bob Hope. Dorothy Lamour found herself lost many times through some of their films, but carried on as best she could. From hosting the Oscars to entertaining troops, he never packed a cue card.
As the King of Clumsy, Stan Laurel has kept audiences rolling for generations. He continues to be an example to comedians of our day. His facial expressions, walk, smile and even the movement of his elbows speak louder than any of his dialogue.
