Oliver Hardy, was born in 1892 under a different name. Not a lot is known about his original name. Only that it was very embarrassing for Hardy as a budding actor, as it was very funny. Rib-tickling, if you will.
Vying for a place in cinema comedy (alongside other comedians such as Jim Cassidy, who nobody has ever heard of, and Charlie Chaplin, who is known in some regions of the world, with a small following in Belgium), Hardy decided to change his name on January 12th, 1915. Ever since, he has been known as Oliver, or Olly. Loved by the audience, the new Oliver Hardy met a new mister Stan Laurel. Laurel and Hardy didn't enjoy each other's company, but after a film director noticed how funny they looked together, the prospect of a successful career in cinema was too good to miss.
