This biography recreates Cantor's journey from New York's Lower East Side to the glorious era of Broadway and Hollywood in the 1930s. Entertainer Eddie Cantor (1892-1964) shared the stage with such stars as W.C. Fields and Fanny Price, founded the March of Dimes, and was the only American entertainer to reign successively as the biggest star on Broadway, in the movies, and on radio.
