About
Bud Abbott was born in Asbury Park, New Jersey. He was an American actor, producer and comedian. He is best remembered as the straight man of the comedy team of Abbott and Costello, with Lou Costello. Abbott was producing and performing in Minsky's Burlesque shows, while Costello was a rising comic. Between 1940 and 1956 they made 36 films and earned a percentage of the profits on each. They were popular on radio throughout the 1940s, first on NBC from 1942 to 1947, and from 1947 to 1949 on ABC. In the 1950s, they introduced their comedy to live television on The Colgate Comedy Hour, and launched their own half-hour series, The Abbott and Costello Show. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Acting from the Garden State Film Festival in 2006. Abbott is a 2009 inductee of the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
