SUMMARY

An original Keystone Kop, Edgar Kennedy pre-dated the arrival of Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle in the Keystone Comedies for Mack Sennett. He played foil to Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields, Eddie Cantor and Harold Lloyd. And played memorable characters in prestigious Hollywood films while working with Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, Jimmy Stewart, Claudette Colbert, Dick Powell and John Wayne. He saw the rise of Frank Capra, Jean Harlow, Betty Grable, Ginger Rogers, Lucille Ball and Doris Day. He also starred in his own short comedy series for RKO, which spanned seventeen years. These ?Average Man? short comedies established film's first all-talking situation comedy series. It fathered in a genre emulated by radio program ?families? and later was the basis for television sit-coms.This first biography of film's "master of the slow burn" combines a detailed history of the actor with over 100 rare photos and an impressive filmography that brings to light some never-before-known credits.Cassara, Bill is the author of 'Edgar Kennedy ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781593930189 and ISBN 1593930186.
