Funny man

 Arthur Stanley Jefferson was born on 16th June 1890 at Ulverston, Lancashire. His mother was Madge Metcalf and father, Arthur J. Jefferson. He had one sister Olga and two brothers, Teddy and Gordon. Madge was an actress with the Jefferson Theatre Group, which toured England, his father was a playwright. As a boy Stan worked with the Jefferson Company. Later he changed his name to Stanley Laurel and joined Fred Karno's comedy group and became the second biggest name of the bill (Charlie Chaplin was first). In 1910 he went to America with the group and two years later Stan was top of the bill after Chaplin left. By 1924 Stan was working with a young producer Hal E. Roach, as a scriptwriter. He got to know many of the big stars including a man he had first met seven years earlier, Oliver Hardy. By 1926 Stan was writing and starring in his own films. The well known comedy duo of Laurel and Hardy was born. (On 23rd February 1965 Stan died of a heart attack at the age of 74. ) (Added by S.C.M.Harper from Internet sources.)

TV Celebrity

Those of you that follow the US comedy series MASH being re-run on Sky Television (UK) or perhaps saw it the first time around might have noticed that the director was Burt Metcalfe. We have no record on our database of Burt - do any of you out there know anything about him?
