Englishman Stan Laurel (1890-1965) and the heavyset American Oliver Hardy (1892-1957) were comedy actors during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema.
They appeared in 107 films with the pair starring in 32 short silent films, 40 short sound films and 23 full-length feature films. Many of the films became Hollywood treasure.
The popular humor the actors performed was a "tit-for-tat" fight with an adversary.
Hardy eventually died in 1957 at the age of 65. Laurel died eight years lateraged 74, having received an honorary Oscar in 1961.
