    I remember reading that he never got over his brother's death. When an old friend of his told the story of his brother's drowning Hardy was trying to keep from bursting into tears on live television.

    I was just a kid when I began watching Oliver and Hardy films on BBC TV. They were just awesome! And now watching this, I now know that Ollie (not me!) was a heavy smoker and he obviously ate a lot. Both put a huge strain on the heart. And the result is only one thing: death! Ollie, you were a wonderful human being!!!

    Laurel and Hardy were a bit before my time but since discovering them on UA-cam I can't get enough of their antics. Of those I've seen so far, "County Hospital" is my favorite. Isn't UA-cam wonderful?

    You made a mistake you just said that he went to military school in 1805 and he was born in 1892 unless you're talking about somebody else. But it does look like Oliver

    How could he have gone to military school in 1805? That was before he was born.

  • @kevinhoffman8112
    @kevinhoffman8112 4 роки тому +4

    Who ever narrated this mispronounced many titles and names, and said Harry Langdon married Virginia Lucille Jones instead of Oliver Hardy! And she said Laurel and Hardy entertained the troops during WW1, whereas it was WW2! Geez I could be more factually correct than her!

    • @melissacooper4282
      @melissacooper4282 4 роки тому

      I remember reading that when WW1 broke out Hardy wanted to sign up. Unfortunately he was laughed out of the recruiting office because of his weight.

    • @TheWacoKid1963
      @TheWacoKid1963 4 роки тому

      There's worse than that, "in 1805, when he was 13, he was sent to Young Harris College in north Georgia" I doubt even his grandfather was born before 1805.
      The script is word for word from Wikipedia, apart from the spoken mistakes.

    1805? You mean 1905? He wasn't born in 1805 and couldn't have been 13 years old then. Mistake at 1.12 min.

    What I always wanted to know is why Ollie never had children.

    • @gunterangel
      @gunterangel 2 роки тому +1

      As far as I Know, it wasn't a physical matter, but he had just decided against having children despite loving children in general.
      The reason... ? Who knows ?!
      Perhaps he was unsecure, wether he would be a good father, since he had lost his own father as a toddler, thus missing a role model.
      Or he just thought children would hinder his career.
      He probably had several reasons for his decision but he kept it private.

    • @12classics39
      @12classics39 2 роки тому +3

      His 1st wife was no good and his 2nd wife was an insane alcoholic who constantly escaped from sanatoriums, so he naturally didn’t want to have children with them. When he was finally happy with his 3rd wife, by then he considered himself too old to be a father at 48. He also feared that due to the hectic nature of his career, a hypothetical child would end up neglected.

      It’s on them to know how if they’re going to do these videos. I’ll give kids, teens, college students a pass, but they should know better if they’re going to make a series of these videos. At one point she got the wrong century.
