Bud Abbott and Lou Costello had been together since working
in Vaudeville. They first worked together in 1935 at the Eltinge Theatre on
42nd Street in New York City after Costello's partner fell ill. They formally
teamed up in 1936. They are perhaps best known for their routine “Who’s On
First?” The pair came to Hollywood in
1940 and appeared in 36 films before breaking up in 1957. One of their best-known
films is Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
