@chicster1888 you're thinking of another british comedy legend, Eric Sykes, he's been totally deaf and totally blind for years and STILL performs in theatres despite being in his mid 80s.
Oliver Hardy's death was the final nail in the coffin for Stan's career. After the death of his best friend he had no reason to go on. He was a great englishman and an even better comedian. The world has almost forgoten how to smile, now. The comedy troops of today still keep the spirit of both comedy and L&H alive.
This 3-minute video tribute, beginning with famous fan, Dick Van Dyke's reading of the beautiful eulogy "Bless All Clowns" is possibly one of the most touching tributes ever produced! The mixture of black+white slo-mo video from the 60s with Streisand's rendition of a Charlie Chaplin classic, ending with the song's "Smile" directive perfectly timed to Stan's timeless and classic grin - positively brilliant! If tears don't well up when you watch this, you're dead.
Several people have asked me how he died. I think he died of a Tuesday. Or was it a Wednesday? Maybes someone else can handle this delicate matter. God Bless you Stan. God Bless You. Never Forgotten. Don't cry for him Folks. He wouldn't want that. Excuse me. I have something in my eye... ;)
The likes of Stan, Ollie, Buster and others, will never been seen again, they are true celebrities, not like the plastic wannabies of today. Thanks for the laughs guys, where ever you are.
I had heard it said that of all the people who "impersonated" Stan, Laurel only ever gave his blessing to Dick Van Dyke. He looks so much like him now!
Wonderful "messes" they were, too! My favourite is the time they had to deliver a piano up steep hillside steps somewhere in Hollywood. By the time that one came, literally, crashing down I was hoarse from screaming laughter. My uncle laughed every time he even talked about Laurel and Hardy. I wonder how many lives they blessed with the life-enriching gift of pure, joyous laughter?!
MY all time heros where it all started and will never be improved upon, yes there were other great comedy double acts but none in the last 100 years to match L&H God keep you both he is the lucky one to have you up there with him..bet he laughs all the time.
Stan was a true northern(english) He left his name in the phone book because he wanted his fans to be able to contact him if they wished and speak to him face to face. Pity there are so many sicko fans out there now that this cant be done. A lovely bloke and a fantastic comedy duo.

Ofcourse i never knew them personaly, but i'm sure that they were very kind and real gentlemen in private live. Rip Laurel and Hardy, the both of you were responsible for millions of laughs, and gave millions of people the chanche to forget their sorrows for a few moments when you appear on the screen, so me ad many many others will never ever forget you. I'm not a beliver, but if there's anything outthere, i'm sure that my father wil pay you a vistit, and so do i when i die.

Stan was a proper English Northern and when he moved to USA and "made it" he still knew his roots and wanted to be available to all those that had put him where he was. Any fan who wanted to speak to him personally could just look him up in the book. Sad that we now have so many loony fans that people cant do this any more. A great man and a great comedy team.

named in the clip: Buster Keaton 1895-1966 Dick Van Dyke 1925- Patsy Kelly 1910-1981 Alan Mowbray 1896-1969 Hal Roach jr. 1918-1972 Tim Conway 1933- Joe Flynn 1924-1974 George Chandler 1898-1985 Pat Buttram 1915-1994 Babe London 1901-1980
I think today the word 'legend' is over used ....there is no doubt in my mind both Stan Laurel and Oliver hardy were both 'legends' in every true sense of the word . They have made generations of people laugh and their timeless comedy im sure will make future generations laugh for all eternity !
I once read that when the great baseball player Ty Cobb was playing minor league baseball in Augusta, GA, he was sitting on a train next to a fat young boy. The fat boy asked what Cobb did for a living. Cobb said he was a member of the Augusta baseball team. The fat boy not knowing who cob was asked if he was the batboy. Cob said"batboy? come out tomorrow and watch me play". The fat boy was Oliver Hardy...How about that?
In his 30's my great grandfather worked with both Stan Laurel and Chaplin when they were both teenagers and just starting in the business in England. He told my father they were so good at that age the other, older, performers all expected both would be successful in show business.
At 1:56 is Pat Buttram, next to him is his wife Sheila Ryan. Sheila starred alonside Stan and Ollie in their two features for 20th Century Fox, Great Guns (1941) and A Haunting We Will Go (1942).
you know i hate people dying it makes me the most angry,and im so sorry a legend passed away,it doesnt matter weather its today or yesterday,tears flow,wont bring them back,my love to stan and ollie always xx
There were some great teams in the past. The marx brothers, Abbott and costello,The ritz brothers. Don't forget three stooges. But laural and Hardy......unbeatable. I loves those guys.
I had heard that. I also heard that Stan continued writing Laurel and Hardy scripts right up until he died even though he knew they would never be used. Moe Howard also used to write new Stooges material right up until his death. Creative people must create, I suppose.
Stan Laurel, along with Oliver Hardy, one of the great comic duos, one of a small group who had success both in silents and talkies, and who remained friends until Babe's death in 1957.
And who would ever think two men from such divergent backgrounds would be able to work so well together and be such close friends. It's hard to imagine someone from a poor working class area of England and an American southern gentleman doing so much together for so long.
Simply beautiful. For me, no single comedian or double act come close to their genius. I consider myself fortunate that I grew up being able to watch them on TV in England. What do kids have these days?
RIP Mr Laurel! I wonder if you ever knew what an impact you would have on people who were not even born yet when you died. I like to think that my kids are among a elite minority
One of the great stories involves Dick Van Dyke arriving in LA as a young man, finding SL's number in phone book, calling and being invited to his house whereupon he was able to chat with his hero. Do I have it right?
Interesting. I lived not far from John Charles Daly (original What's My Line host) during his latter years and would have loved to have chatted with him. Never attempted contact though. Always will wonder whether he might have been open to it.
I'm not really sure how they met, but DVD did study comedy under Stan Laurel for a while and it's obvious he was a good student. He even used to do a pretty near perfect imitation of Stan. I'm sure it must be here on Youtube somewhere if you search. You can see Stan in every funny facial expression, exaggerated movement and pratfall that DVD does.
@spagandtuna The story was that Stan Laurel's number as always in the phone book. Anybody could call him up and talk. Funny for a guy who was a recluse for the latter part of his life.
I remember the day they announced Stan's death. I was in the 7th grade (and a long ways away.). There was a sinking feeling I could never quite get rid of. I always wondered what it actually looked like to be there. After all these years, finally someone has given us the gift of seeing it. Thanks so much.
I'm a 6'4 rugby player and this video made me cry.........he died 20 years before I was born but I love Laurel and Hardy more than any other comedy team..... If there is a heaven then I hope they are being well looked after. Words can't describe how wonderful they are........
Woody Allen i think it was once said 'There are onlt two certain things in life - death and taxes '. May i add to that 'Watching Stan and Ollie will cheer anybody up when theyre feeling down'. The funniest comedy team EVER. Nobody comes close.
There is no greater comedy team than Laurel and Hardy! I have such a love and appreciation for everything they brought to film. I am so thankful to them for all the laughter they bring to my life! Laurel and Hardy the Greatest of all time! They will never be forgotten
Awww...this was so sad! And they showed little Buster Keaton at the beginning too, just shortly before his own passing :-( . I love these old guys so much! It breaks my heart that they're gone...

"Here's another fine mess you've got us into..."
Wonderful "messes" they were, too! My favourite is the time they had to deliver a piano up steep hillside steps somewhere in Hollywood. By the time that one came, literally, crashing down I was hoarse from screaming laughter. My uncle laughed every time he even talked about Laurel and Hardy. I wonder how many lives they blessed with the life-enriching gift of pure, joyous laughter?!
God bless and rest Stan and Ollie.

Stan was a true northern(english) He left his name in the phone book because he wanted his fans to be able to contact him if they wished and speak to him face to face. Pity there are so many sicko fans out there now that this cant be done. A lovely bloke and a fantastic comedy duo.

@scrumpyjack2007
Ofcourse i never knew them personaly, but i'm sure that they were very kind and real gentlemen in private live. Rip Laurel and Hardy, the both of you were responsible for millions of laughs, and gave millions of people the chanche to forget their sorrows for a few moments when you appear on the screen, so me ad many many others will never ever forget you. I'm not a beliver, but if there's anything outthere, i'm sure that my father wil pay you a vistit, and so do i when i die.

Cob said"batboy? come out tomorrow and watch me play". The fat boy was Oliver Hardy...How about that?

I'm not really sure how they met, but DVD did study comedy under Stan Laurel for a while and it's obvious he was a good student. He even used to do a pretty near perfect imitation of Stan. I'm sure it must be here on Youtube somewhere if you search. You can see Stan in every funny facial expression, exaggerated movement and pratfall that DVD does.
