EDDIE BRUCE, BORN IN GERMANTOWN, ACHIEVED
NATIONAL PROMINENCE AS A HEADLINE COMEDIAN
IN VAUDEVILLE, HOLLYWOOD, MOTION PICTURES,
BROADWAY MUSICAL COMEDIES, AND TELEVISION.
HE BROUGHT LAUGHTER AND HAPPINESS INTO
THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF THEATER-GOERS, AND
TV VIEWERS THROUGHOUT AMERICA FOR NEARLY
HALF A CENTURY.
PROBABLY BEST REMEMBERED WAS HIS PORTRAYAL
OF BUZZ COLLINS IN THE GREAT MUSICAL SHOW
"FINIAN'S RAINBOW," WHICH RAN FOR TWO YEARS
ON BROADWAY AND A YEAR ON TOUR.
THE SOUNDS OF THE LAUGHTER, THE APPLAUSE
AND THE MUSIC HAVE FADED AWAY, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS
HAVE DIMMED TO DARKNESS, AND THE FINAL CURTAIN
HAS FALLEN. HEAVEN REST HIM NOW
