George Jessel (actor)
George Albert Jessel (April 3, 1898 – May 23, 1981), sometimes called "Georgie" Jessel, was an American illustrated song "model," actor, singer, songwriter, and Academy Award-winning movie producer. He was famous in his lifetime as a multitalented comedic entertainer, achieving a level of recognition that transcended his limited roles in movies. He was widely known by his nickname, the "Toastmaster General of the United States," for his frequent role as the master of ceremonies at political and entertainment gatherings. Jessel originated the title role in the stage production of ''The Jazz Singer''.〔
==Biography==
Jessel was born in the Bronx. By age 10, he was appearing in vaudeville and on Broadway to support his family after his father's death.〔
His mother, who worked as a ticket seller at the Imperial Theater, helped him form The Imperial Trio, a harmony group of ushers to entertain patrons of the theater, with Walter Winchell and Jack Wiener, using the stage names Leonard, Lawrence and McKinley, in their early teens (such usher-singer groups were common). At age 11, he was a partner of Eddie Cantor in a kid sketch and performed with him on stage until he outgrew the role at age 16. He later partnered with Lou Edwards and then became a solo performer.〔Cullen, Frank and Hackman, Florence (2006). ''Vaudeville, Old and New: An Encyclopedia of Variety Performers in America'', pp. 566–68. Routledge. ISBN 0-415-93853-8.〕〔The 1915 New York State Census shows that he was living at 1072 Simpson St. in the Bronx, and his occupation is listed as "performer". In that census, he is listed as living with his grandparents, Simon and Caroline Schwarz, his aunt Mary Schwarz, and his mother Lottie Jessel.〕
