Stan Laurel was born Arthur Stanley Jefferson on 16 June 1890 in Ulverston, England;
died on 23 February 1965.
Oliver Hardy was born Norvell Hardy on 18 January 1892 in Harlem, Georgia; died on

The son of a British showman, Stan Laurel had been raised in English music halls. In
1910 he made his first trip to America as a member of the Fred Karno musical-comedy
troupe, which also included Charlie Chaplin. Laurel stayed in the United States, touring
in vaudeville and landing an occasional movie job.
Oliver Hardy had been destined for a military career, but opened a movie theater in
Milledgeville, Georgia, instead. He next found work as an actor in Jacksonville, Florida,
home of the Lubin film company. Hardy later moved to Hollywood, and by the mid
1920s, he was working as an all-purpose comic at the Hal Roach studio.
Laurel and Hardy's partnership at the Hal Roach studio began in 1926. Within a year of
their first joint appearance, they were being touted as the new comedy team. After
collaborating on many silent films, they took the transition to the talking film in stride.
As their success spread throughout the world, they began making feature films as well
and won an Oscar for their short subject entitled "The Music Box" (1932).
After the team left the Hal Roach studio, they formed their own production company
but were unable to repeat the success they had enjoyed under the guidance of Hal
Roach.
Based in Ulverston in Cumbria, Birthplace of Stan Laurel, (the thin one) one half of the
greatest film comedy team the world has ever known, Laurel and Hardy, Oliver Hardy,
(the fat one) was American, and was born in Harlem Georgia.
