Martin Alan "Marty" Feldman (8 July 1934 – 2 December 1982) was an English comedy writer, comedian, and actor, easily identified by his bulbous and crooked eyes. He starred in several British television comedy series, including At Last the 1948 Show and Marty, the latter of which won two BAFTA awards. He was the first Saturn Award winner for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Young Frankenstein.
Feldman was born on 8 July 1934 in the East End of London, the son of Jewish immigrants from Kiev, Ukraine, Cecilia (née Crook) and Myer Feldman, a gown manufacturer. He recalled his childhood as "solitary".
A BBC documentary explained that a botched operation for his Graves' disease resulted in his eyes being more protruded and misaligned (strabismus). Leaving school at 15, he worked at the Dreamland funfair in Margate, but had dreams of a career as a jazz trumpeter, and performed in the first group in which tenor saxophonist Tubby Hayes was a member. Feldman joked that he was "the world's worst trumpet player." By the age of 20, though, he had decided to pursue a career as a comedian.

From the 1974 comically brilliant "Young Frankenstein", Dr. Frederick Frankenstein meets Igor for the first time. This is my favourite scene from this movie.

A collection of clips from British comedian Marty Feldman.
Who's but the whacky and wild mind of the late Marty Feldman could have possibly devised a song like this short ditty. Accompanied by video clips and still photography of African elephants, this song is certain to become a viral sensation with all of those with a "thing" for pachyderms.

Fall Sampler Out September 1st! Lyrics Believe me this is going nowhere A doomed story right out of the gate It's tough to say it but this is over What are we fighting for there's nothing left anymore We're strung out on a line, that's been severed And our hands are tied this time, yeah there's no saving you No more second chances, no more waiting So when I burn this Bridge tonight will your rise or will you fall Will you take the dive with it or will you stand tall with us all There's, nothing we can do We're done waiting, we're done waiting for you So damn your eyes But i know it's too late You've seen this all before I can't figure out where, but I swear I will And what's left for me to say, yeah you know everything Why would you listen, why would you care This is the mess we mad...
