Stan Laurel (born Stanley Arthur Jefferson; 16 June 1890 – 23 February 1965) was an English comic actor, writer and film director, most famous for his role in the comedy duo Laurel and Hardy.[1] With his comedy partner Oliver Hardy he appeared in 107 short films, feature films and cameo roles.[2]
Laurel began his career in the British music hall, from where he took a number of his standard comic devices: the bowler hat, the deep comic gravity, and the nonsensical understatement. His performances polished his skills at pantomime and music hall sketches. Laurel was a member of "Fred Karno's Army," where he was Charlie Chaplin's understudy.[2][3] The two arrived in the US on the same ship from Britain with the Karno troupe.[4] Laurel went into films in the US, with his acting career stretching between 1917 and 1951, and from "silents" to "talkies." It included a starring role in the film The Music Box (1932). more....... |
