	Barnes & Noble.com - Biography - Buddy Hackett
		The son of a Brooklyn upholsterer, baby-faced comic actor Buddy Hackett always claimed he was "born to be funny." Hackett was the boy who invariably blew his lines in the Holiday pageants and the overweight teen who accidentally stuck his foot in a water bucket during his first game with the high school football team.
		Hackett was most active in films during the years 1958 through 1968, appearing primarily in nitwit comedy-relief roles, but also delivering a solid dramatic performance in God's Little Acre.
		Among Buddy Hackett's many television credits was the 1978 biopic Bud and Lou, in which he offered a curiously unsympathetic interpretation of his idol, Lou Costello; ironically, back in 1954 Hackett had replaced an ailing Costello in the Universal slapstick comedy flick Fireman Save My Child.

	Biography for Buddy Hackett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hackett's act was noted for its, at the time, "adult" content, and at one point he was sued by a woman who attended one of his shows and said she was "shocked and offended" at the language (she lost the suit).
		Contrary to his nightclub image, however, Hackett's appearances in films were mostly of the family type, such as his roles in the "Herbie"; series of comedies for Disney about a Volkswagen Bug with a mind of its own and as Robert Preston's sidekick in The Music Man (1962).
		Hackett took the part that Costello was playing (an eerie coincidence considering that more than 20 years later he would actually play Costello in the TV movie Bud and Lou (1978) (TV)) and O'Brian took Abbott's place, but the film wasn't successful and Universal dropped its plans to make a team out of the two.
