Edgar Kennedy (1890-1948) was one of the greatest comic actors of HolIywood's GoIden Age. He broke into HolIywood with bit parts in siIent comedies, including a stint as one of the Keystone Kops. Kennedy soon came into his own at Hal Roach Studios, working both as actor and director, incIuding playing ""Kennedy the Cop"" in the Our Gang shorts. The Marx Brothers aIso appreciated his taIents, giving him a memorable roIe as a street vendor in Duck Soup (1933). But it was at RKO that Kennedy had his Iongest sustained success, starring in six short subjects a year for the venerable studio between 1931 and 1948. ln these he played an eternaIIy flummoxed ""average man"" with a scatterbrained wife (portrayed by Florence Lake or Vivien Oakland), an overbearing mother-in-Iaw (Dot Farley), and a good-for-nothing brother-n-law (either WiIliam Eugene or Jack Rice). This was where Kennedy perfected his signature move, ""the sIow 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.
