Lou Costello
Born: March. 6, 1906 New Jersey. Died: March. 3, 1959 Los Angeles California, USA Actor, Comedian. He is best remembered for his partnership with Bud Abbott. Currently, he and Bud Abbott are the only non-sports figures honoured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in New York, for their famous "Who's on First" routine. He tried to mention his hometown of Paterson, in virtually every television show and movie. Born Louis Francis Cristillo in Paterson, he began work at MGM and Warner Brothers Studios as a carpenter, moving on to stuntman and later as a comic. In 1931, while working in a Brooklyn theatre, his straight man became ill and the theatre cashier, Bud Abbott, filled in for him. The chemistry between the two was instant, and they soon formed their famous comedy team, working burlesque, minstrel shows, movie houses, and anyplace that they could get a billing. Their film debut "One Night in the Tropics" (1940) soon brought audience demand for more, and their f i lm "Buck Privates"(1941) grossed a then-record profit of $10 million. Many more movies continued throughout the 1940s and 1950s, when they began mixing comedy with classic horror films,
in such movies as
Frankenstein" (1948), "Abbott and Costello meet the Invisible Man"(1951), Abbott and Costello meet Dr.
"Abbott and Costello meet Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde"(1953) and "Abbott and Costello meet the Mummy"(1955). They had their own radio show from 1941 to 1949, and later a television show, "The Abbott and Costello Show" (1952). After some trouble with the Internal Revenue Service over their taxes, the team split up in 1957. Costello: Are you the manager? Abbott: Yes. Costello: You gonna be the coach too? Abbott: Yes. Costello: And you don't know the fellows' names? Abbott: Well I should.
Costello: Well then who's on first?
Abbott: Yes. Costello: I mean the fellow's name. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy on first. Abbott: Who. Costello: The first baseman. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy playing...Abbott: Who is on first! Costello: I'm asking YOU who's on first. Abbott: That's the man's name. Costello: That's who's name? Abbott: Yes. Costello: Well go ahead and tell me. Abbott: That's it. Costello: That's who? Abbott: Yes.
