| Peter Sellers was born in North London, on September 8, 1925. He made his first stage appearance at age two weeks during one of his parants' music hall shows. While impersonating two popular BBC stars, he reccomended himself to a BBC producer. The producer actually thought that the "men" talking were in fact the real BBC stars, but once he had realized that he had been fooled, he gladly gave Sellers a place on the air. He starred in "Crazy People" the radio show, which made it's debute on May 28, 1951. The name changed to the "Goon Show" on June 22, 1952. This exposure opened new doors to his future. The "Goon Show" ran until January 28, 1960. His first film was "Penny Points to Paradise" (1951) His first American film was "The Mouse that Roared." In this movie he played multiple characters. (like Eddie Murphy does in The Nutty Professor) "Dr. StrangeLove" won him his first Oscar nomination. In 1963, "The Pink Panther" was released. Sellers got his second Oscar for "Being There" in which he played a Chance, a child like gardener mistaken for an economic guru. His last film was "Fu Manchu" (1980). Sellers died on July 24, 1980. They played "In the Mood" at his funeral. Everyone there had to hold back the laughing for Sellers' had always hated that song. But that is probably how he would have wanted it. He had made people of all ages laugh while he was living, and he will forever continue to do that, even while he's gone........ but is he gone? ::::Think Pink!:::: Did you know that Elton John - Goon Show fan - bought original "Goon Show" scripts at a Christie's auction in March of 1981, paying 14,000 British lbs. sterling for them. |
