		Brice grew up in far more comfortable surroundings than Berlin had, moving from her native Newark to Coney Island to Harlem, and from a young age, she was taken by her mother to every show they could catch.
		When Fanny got a telegram to come down to see Florenz Ziegfeld a year later, she thought it was a joke.
		Brice became the first crossover performer of the new century, eventually conquering not only Broadway but films, and most successfully radio, where she played the character of an aggressively precocious child, Baby Snooks, until she was well into her fifties.

	Jewish Women in Comedy—Fanny Brice

		Brice suffered a serious heart attack in July 1945 but was well enough to resume her radio show in the fall.
		A performer in the dialect comedy tradition, Brice often played to the prejudices of the period, but mocking Jewish values was not generally part of her comic world and she was careful not to offend Jewish audience members.

	Fanny Brice (1891 - 1951) - Find A Grave Memorial
		Despite her flair for manic comedy, she made one of her biggest marks in the “Follies” with the torch song “My Man,” standing nearly motionless and singing in a clear, unaccented voice (perhaps some of the depth of the performance came from her rocky relationship with small-time con-man and second husband Nicky Arnstein).
		The Baby Snooks character, a loveably obnoxious little brat, started out as a routine she did at parties, then was brought onstage for the Follies, but Brice had her biggest success with it on radio, appearing on virtually every major radio variety program from 1938 until her death.
		Brice played herself in the 1936 biopic “The Great Ziegfeld,” and was played by Barbra Streisand in “Funny Girl” (stage, 1964; film, 1968) and “Funny Lady” (1975), which portrayed Brice’s relationship with third husband Billy Rose.
