Cantor (1892-1964) was one of the most popular entertainers in the U.S. during the early to mid-twentieth century. As acomedian, singer, actor and songwriter, he was best known to Broadway, radio, and early T.V. audiences as "the Apostle of Pep." After the 1929 Stock Market Crash, Cantor went from multi-millionaire to broke. As the founder for the March of Dimes, he did much to publicize the battle against polio. Also served as first president of the Screen Actors Guild and was awarded an honorary Academy Award in 1964.
