# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Arthur Stanley Jefferson in 1890, he came up through English music halls and joined Fred Karno's comedy troupe, where he understudied Charlie Chaplin before both sailed to America. He started making films in 1917, appeared opposite Oliver Hardy by chance in The Lucky Dog in 1921, but didn't officially partner with him until late 1927. From then the two were inseparable—107 short films, features, and cameos that turned tight-laced fumbling into an art form. Laurel worked through 1951, then retired after Hardy died in 1957. The 1961 Academy gave him an honorary Oscar for pioneering work in comedy, and in 2019 a British panel named him the greatest comedian the country ever produced.
