	Bert Lahr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bert Lahr, born Irving Lahrheim, (August 13, 1895 – December 4, 1967) was a Jewish-American comic actor.
		Lahr thought of himself as the "top banana" in the production, telling Ewell "not to crowd him" (when he learned of this, Beckett complained that the play was being taken away from his "major character", Vladimir).
		Among other Broadway roles, Lahr played Queen Victoria in a sketch from the musical "Two on the Aisle." He also performed as Moonface Martin in a television version of "Anything Goes" with Ethel Merman reprising her role as Reno Sweeney and Frank Sinatra as Billy Crocker.

	Bert Lahr in The Wizard of Oz as the Cowardly Lion
		Bert Lahr was basically a comedian but over the years he played in a wide variety of theatre and films.
		Lahr was capable of comedic genius bordering being bombastic but he also had the ability, rare for a comic, of being subtle in some of his presentations.
		Lahr by nature was a worrywart and many of his close friends would tease him with good nature about it.

	Bert Lahr
		Lahr made his starring film debut in the 1931 movie adaptation of Flying High, but never truly caught on as a screen personality, possibly because his gestures and reactions were too broad for the comparatively intimate medium of films.
		Lahr's greatest screen performance -- indeed, one of the greatest performances ever captured on celluloid -- was as the Cowardly Lion in the perennial favorite The Wizard of Oz (1939).
		For all his onstage buffoonery, Lahr was an intensely troubled, unhappy man, a fact driven home in Notes on a Cowardly Lion, a biography written by Lahr's son, theatre critic John Lahr.

(1932), George White's "Music Hall Varieties" (1932), "Life Begins at 8:40" (1934), George White's "Scandals" (1935), and "The Show Is On" (1936), in which he introduced the hilarious "Song of the Woodman" (E. "Yip" Harburg-Harold Arlen).
		He was featured in the numbers, "Lions and Tigers and Bears" and the splendid "King of the Forest," as well as ensemble pieces with Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, and Jack Haley.

		ert Lahr is one of the leading burlesque and vaudeville stars who went on to Broadway musical comedies, Bert Lahr had a fitful and rather unremarkable film career highlighted only by his delightful turn as the Cowardly Lion in the now classic 1939 version of "The Wizard of Oz".
		Some critics have made a case that Lahr's portrayal of the Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz" is not only his best screen work, but also one of the greatest screen performances ever.
		Teamed with fellow vaudevillians Ray Bolger and Jack Haley, Lahr proves close to perfection whether warbling the number "If I Were King of the Forest" or cowering in fear of Margaret Hamilton's truly scary Wicked Witch of the West.

		Lahr died in 1967 at the age of 72.

	Notes on a Cowardly Lion
		"This is a biography of the late Bert Lahr, that clown-comedian who played everything from burlesque to Aristophanes and Shakespeare, by his son, who is one of that rare species, an authentic theater critic.
		Drawing on his father's recollections and on the memories of those who worked with him, John Lahr brilliantly examines the history of modern American show business through the long and glorious career of his father--the raucous low-comic star of burlesque, vaudeville, the Broadway revue and musical, Hollywood movies, and the legitimate stage.
		A first-class stylist, John Lahr takes the reader beyond the magic of show business to a dazzling examination of how a performing self is constructed and staged before the paying customers.
