2 Quotes & Sayings By Lou Costello
"The name Lou Costello is as American as apple pie. In the 1930s and 1940s, he was America’s sweetheart, a grinning, comic foil for the great stars of the day. Lou was the first to introduce the audience to tipsy, slurring Bob Hope, slow-witted Jimmy Durante, and crooning Bing Crosby. He made the transition from silent movies to talkies at age sixteen
His first film was “The Clown” (1914) starring Harold Lloyd. After years of success both on the big screen and on radio (he appeared in more than 1,500 shorts), Costello retired from show business in 1952. But he never lost his smile."
