In 1906, comedian Lou Costello (Louis Francis Cristillo) was born in Paterson, New Jersey. A former newsboy, soda jerk, and prizefighter, Costello went to Hollywood in the late 1920s to break into films. Unsuccessful, he went into vaudeville and burlesque instead, and in 1931 teamed with Bud Abbott to form one of the most successful comedy teams in show business. Abbott & Costello was a top box-office attraction in films of the 1940s and early '50s, with such hits as "Buck Privates," "Hold That Ghost," "Keep 'em Flying," "Rio Rita," "Who Done It?," "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein," "Africa Screams" and "Lost in Alaska." Their most famous comedy routine, "Who's on First?" (first performed in the 1945 film "The Naughty Nineties"), is enshrined on a plaque in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The duo split up in 1957. Costello died of a heart attack on March 3, 1959.
