Lew Brice

Lew Brice was an American dancer, actor, and comedian. Like his sister, the actress and comedian Fannie Brice, he had a career in vaudeville and Broadway musicals during the first three decades of the twentieth century. He also appeared in both silent and sound films. Unlike his sister, he was never a major star, although he was considered a gifted dancer. He had several marriages to women whom he performed with, including a marriage to Mae Clarke from 1928-1930. He was a close friend of his sister Fannie's husband, the gambler Nicky Arnstein, and maintained a close relationship with Arnstein long after he and Fannie divorced.
