Signed Card attached to title page " Red Skelton" Like so many biographies, the story of Red Skelton exposes the darker side that most of his admirers never knew. Some things that surprised me were the numerous hardships he experienced as a young child through his mid-20s; his eccentric behavior during his mid-life years; his alcoholism; his infidelity; and finally his loneliness. A vaudeville and burlesque performer who worked his way up from the bottom of the rung clubs and show boats to play the Paramount Theatre in NYC, Red Skelton entered films in 1938 and went on to appear in some two dozen musicals and comedies through the 1940s, mostly for MGM. Skelton, who had his own radio show from 1941-53, embraced TV in 1950 and gained his greatest fame there, showcasing his gift for pantomime and his memorable characterizations, such as Freddy the Freeloader, on the long-running "The Red Skelton Show" which ran on NBC from 1951-53, then on CBS from 1953-70, and finally on NBC for its last year 1970-71.
