This listing is for an 8x10 size picture of actors Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the 1935 film Bonnie Scotland. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were perhaps the most famous comedy duo in motion picture history. Their humor is physical, but the accident-prone buffonery is distinguished by the stars' friendly, kindly personalities and their great devotion to each other. The characters are grown-up children, a skinny-and-fat pair of life's innocent bystanders who always run... afoul of irate landlords, pompous citizens, angry policemen, domineering women, antagonistic customers, and apoplectic bosses. Their well-meaning solutions to the simplest problems are hilariously disastrous. Off-screen, Laurel and Hardy were the opposite of their movie characters. Stan, who wrote many of their comedy bits and scripts, and frequently produced the films, carefully supervised his own pictures, while the easygoing Hardy, spent his free time on hobbies, cooking, playing golf, and watching sporting events.Stan LaurelStan, the thin half of the team, was born Arthur Stanley Jefferson in Ulverston, England on June 16, 1890. The son of a prominent theatrical producer, Stan grew up in show business, and at the age of twenty he joined a theatrical troupe which featured another comic, Charlie Chaplin. Stan entered the film industry in 1917, and alternately played brash go-getters and worried simps for the following ten years.Oliver HardyOliver was born in Harlem, Georgia on January 18, 1892. His mother operated a hotel, and the young Hardy was fascinated by the "show folk" that passed through the community. A stint as a boy singer led him into theatrical enterprises, and by 1910 he was a moviehouse projectionist. Three years later he joined a local comedy-film company, and in a few short years he became well established as a comic villain with expressive pantomine skills.We are a proud Ebay and confirmed Paypal member.
