Stan Laurel (born Arthur Stanley Jefferson; 16 June 1890 – 23 February 1965) was an English comic actor, writer and film director, most famous for his role in the comedy duo Laurel and Hardy. With his comedy partner Oliver Hardy he appeared in 107 short films, feature films and cameo roles.
Laurel began his career in the British music hall, from where he took a number of his standard comic devices: the bowler hat, the deep comic gravity, and the nonsensical understatement. His performances polished his skills at pantomime and music hall sketches. Laurel was a member of "Fred Karno's Army," where he was Charlie Chaplin's understudy. The two arrived in the US on the same ship from Britain with the Karno troupe. Laurel began his career in films in 1917 and made his last appearance in 1951. From 1928 onwards he appeared exclusively with Oliver Hardy. Following his comedy partner's death in 1957 Laurel officially retired from the screen.
In 1961, Laurel was given a Lifetime Achievement Academy Award for his pioneering work in comedy. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Blvd. In a 2005 UK poll to find the Comedians' Comedian, Laurel and Hardy ranked top among best double acts and seventh overall. In 2009, a bronze statue of the duo was unveiled in Laurel's hometown of Ulverston, Cumbria.

Stephan GRAF VON BOTHMER interpretiert STAN LAUREL und OLIVER HARDY in Ihrem Element, die vier besten Kurzfilme des populärsten Komiker-Duos aller Zeiten. Stephan Graf von Bothmer begleitet die Filme live am Flügel so pointiert und virtuos, dass das Publikum nicht aus dem Lachen heraus kommt.

The Egg is a September 4, 1922 American silent comedy film featuring Stan Laurel.
The Flying Deuces, also known as Flying Aces, is a 1939 comedy film starring Laurel and Hardy, in which the duo join the French Foreign Legion. It is a partial remake of their 1931 short film, Beau Hunks. The sketch of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the first scene was drawn by Harry Langdon. On the set of this film, Oliver Hardy met his future wife, script supervisor Virginia Lucille Jones. This is Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy's only non-Hal Roach-produced film in which Stan had a hand in the writing and editing (as he had in the Roach films). The harp music Stan plays in his cell is played by Harpo from the Marx Brothers, who apparently also coached Stan on imitating his fingerings. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031322 CHANGE BEFORE GOING PRODUCTIONS: http://www.cbgp.com http://www.fa...

Presented for posterity (or until the suits tell me to take it down), a program first broadcast in color via CBS on November 23, 1965: A Salute to Stan Laurel, featuring Dick Van Dyke, Buster Keaton, Phil Silvers, and many others. Watch for a quick cameo from Fred Gwynn as Herman Munster. The quality of the transfer of this genuine curio is not great but it is the best I have been able to locate to date.

[Bird Indian John]
Once upon a time
When I traveled to this land
No money in my pocket
No weapon in my hand
A new land full of secrets
Where once I feared to cross
I don't hide anymore
I found what I have lost
The seagulls in the sky
The music of the sea
They blend a mystic chant
To reach infinity
The rain fall in the woods
I stare at mother moon
My soul will meet you soon
Forever in deep blue
Into that black old ship I wondered: "Who am I?"
I realized, now I could find my mother land, I had my chance
So many miles away I crossed to find myself
But still I don't know why I was given a chance
I found my way back home when Iara took my life
The reason I won't find
In my dreams, I couldn't see
My way to light, my heart was blind
All my life was do or die
But I could learn that time washes away your past
So many miles away I crossed to lose my pride
I gave my life away and found my paradise
Sometimes you need to trust in destiny to rise
And reasons you will never find
In my dreams I couldn't see
My way to light, my heart was blind
I don't know what future holds
But I can wait for my time
You have been blessed by the miracle of nature
LIBERTY - SET ME FREE
IN THE RIVER I'M GOING TO DARKNESS
TO FIND MY WAY TO THE LIGHT
DON'T REGRET - FLAWS OF PAST
TAKE THE CHANCE TO RESTART
AND BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART
AND AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE... LIBERTY
All I have lived it seems to be only a dream
And now I found a reason to believe
Once I had my doubts, but I let my river flow
In my heart I believed - Now it's real!
I had my secrets but I couldn't save myself
Love is the key to find what you have lost in your life
You have been blessed by the miracle of nature
LIBERTY - SET ME FREE
IN THE RIVER I'M GOING TO DARKNESS
TO FIND MY WAY TO THE LIGHT
DON'T REGRET - FLAWS OF PAST
TAKE THE CHANCE TO RESTART
AND BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART
AND AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE...
LIBERTY - SET ME FREE
IN THE RIVER I'M GOING TO DARKNESS
TO FIND MY WAY TO THE LIGHT
DON'T REGRET - FLAWS OF PAST
TAKE THE CHANCE TO RESTART
AND BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART
AND AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE... LIBERTY
Liberty - Set me free
To my paradise I go
Liberty - Set me free
