Mack Sennett
Mack Sennett (January 17, 1880 – November 5, 1960) was a Canadian-born American director and actor and was known as the innovator of slapstick comedy in film. During his lifetime he was known at times as the "King of Comedy". His short ''Wrestling Swordfish'' was awarded the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film in 1932 and he earned an Academy Honorary Award in 1937.〔(Academy Awards Database ) at Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences〕
==Early life==
Born as Michael Sinnott in Richmond Ste-Bibiane Parish, Quebec, Canada, he was the son of Irish Catholic John Sinnott and Catherine Foy, married 1879 in Tingwick St-Patrice Parish (Québec). The newly wed moved the same year to Richmond where John Sinnott was hired as a labor. In 1883, when Michael's brother George was born, John Sinnott was still working in Richmond as an innkeeper for many years afterward. John Sinnott and Catherine Foy had all their children and raised their family in Richmond, a small Eastern Townships village at that time. At that time, Michael's grandparents were living in Danville (Québec). When he was 17 years old Michael Sinnott moved to Connecticut.
He lived for a time in Northampton, Massachusetts, where, according to his autobiography, Sennett first got the idea to become an opera singer after seeing a vaudeville show. He claimed that the most respected lawyer in town, Northampton mayor (and future President of the United States) Calvin Coolidge, as well as Sennett's own mother, tried to talk him out of his musical ambitions.〔King of Comedy by Mack Sennett, 1954〕
In New York City, Sennett became an actor, singer, dancer, clown, set designer, and director for Biograph. A major distinction in his acting career, often overlooked, is the fact that Sennett played Sherlock Holmes 11 times, albeit as a parody, between 1911 and 1913.
