BUD ABBOTT

Highest Rated: 100% Hold That Ghost (1941)

Lowest Rated: 25% Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955)

Birthday: Oct 2, 1895

Birthplace: Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA

The leaner, meaner, faster-talking half of one of America's greatest comedic
duos, Bud Abbott, along with his partner Lou Costello, was one of Hollywood's
biggest stars throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Born into a show business family,
Abbott already had years of experience as a show producer, promoter and
performer by the time he teamed up with fellow vaudevillian Costello in the
mid-1930s. Growing recognition on the stages of New York eventually led to a
guest stint on a popular national radio program, followed by their first film as
a team, "One Night in the Tropics" (1940). With the massive success of their
sophomore effort, "Buck Privates" (1941), Abbott and his cohort became two of
the biggest movie stars of the wartime era. More hit films like "Pardon My
Sarong" (1942), "In Society" (1944) and "The Naughty Nineties" (1945), combined
with popular radio appearances on their own program and others like "The Kate
Smith Show" - which first broadcast their famous "Who's on First?" routine -
kept them at the top of the entertainment heap. The comedy-monster mash-up
"Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein" (1948) marked the beginning of their
"Abbot and Costello Meet " phase. The comedy "Dance with Me, Henry" (1956)
marked their final film appearance together before the team split up in 1957 and
Costello died in 1959. Semi-retired and in increasingly poor health, Abbott
passed away at the age of 78 in 1974. One of the best at what he did and in the
underappreciated position of comic foil, Bud Abbott was openly admired by
Costello, who frequently insisted, "Comics are a dime a dozen, but good straight
men are hard to find."
