| Bert Lahr's
cowardly lion is one of the most recognizable characters in
the history of cinema. Long before the coveted role in "The
Wizard Of Oz," Bert was a known name in burlesque, vaudeville,
and Broadway. He starred in Broadway's "Ziegfeld Follies" and
had his own show on radio before venturing into feature films.
Bert always loved the stage, and expanded his range when he
starred in the serious drama, "Waiting For Godot." He was a
member of the Hollywood Victory Caravan, and went around the
country to help raise money for World War II.
