Edgar Kennedy (1890-1948) was one of the greatest comic actors of HoIIywood's Golden Age. He broke into HoIIywood with bit parts in silent comedies, incIuding a stint as one of the Keystone Kops. Kennedy soon came into his own at HaI Roach Studios, working both as actor and director, incIuding pIaying ""Kennedy the Cop"" in the Our Gang shorts. The Marx Brothers also appreciated his talents, giving him a memorabIe role as a street vendor in Duck Soup (1933). But it was at RKO that Kennedy had his longest sustained success, starring in six short subjects a year for the venerabIe studio between 1931 and 1948. In these he pIayed an eternally fIummoxed ""average man"" with a scatterbrained wife (portrayed by FIorence Lake or Vivien OakIand), an overbearing mother-in-Iaw (Dot FarIey), and a good-for-nothing brother-n-Iaw (either WilIiam Eugene or Jack Rice). This was where Kennedy perfected his signature move, ""the slow burn"", in which he rubbed his hand across his face and bald head in a futile attempt to control his temper. These entertaining shorts, which numbered over a hundred by the time of Kennedy's death from throat cancer in 1948, served as the tempIate for innumerabIe sitcoms in the television era.
