# I think, in this case, it was legit to have 2 films.
The first one was done in 1946 and the popularity of the film led to a resurgence in his career. The second one was released shortly before his death in 1950.

He really was a super star - from Vaudeville, early movies (he did star in the very first "real" talking film)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jolson has a lot of good info.

I used to play some of his recordings on my radio show and always got good responses from my audience.

# I've just finished his autobiography
He comes across as such a top top bloke.

He realises he was incredibly lucky to have the career he's had, knows he was never going to be the best actor in the world, has come through several life-threatening illnesses, and now, in his 80s, still travels the world raising millions of pounds for charity.

I'd love to meet him, and just tell him what a wonderful human being he is.

# I saw him at a UNICEF game at Old Trafford - United versus Boca Juniors I think.
He came onto the pitch at half time in a United shirt with 007 on the back. How completely cool* is that

*assumes at least a passing interest in football and the absence of complete loathing of Manchester United.

In fact, I don't think he even did anything BEFORE getting kidnapped.

You're a bit of a shit journalist if your biggest story is something that happened to you

# he won Journalist of the Year in 2007
while he was kidnapped.

How does being kidnapped make you a good journalist?
