The Bright Stars : Laurel & Hardy

A man always wants some entertainment in life. So he takes refuge under books, movies or any other source from which he could inhale the taste of entertainment in the form of humor, romance, comic, action, or in any other type of literature like poetry, fiction ideas being easily presented to the common people.
A pair of two comedians have proved themselves to be the very source of humor and laughter. They are, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. These comedians had a permanent impression on the world which never stopped laughing on their natural acting in short films.
A short publication of their biography by Top Cassettes Ltd. involves about every important event that took place in their life from their birth to death. The book has listed all their short films together starting from their first film together named, The Lucky Dog in 1922, up to UTOPIA in 1951. Also, it has been told by the same book that how they got more and more famous in public by every single tour they made to anywhere across the world.
After reading about some tragedies in both of their lives, the heart goes down in the dumps thinking about how the two men army of comedy had to face a large amount of sad moments in their life.
I have also seen some of the short films in which they have worked together like The Lucky Dog, Be Big, March of the wooden soldiers, Utopia, The flying deuces, The chimp, Flying elephants, Angora Love, etc. which touched the mind and I went into a squeal of laughter.
Leaving the whole world laughing on their memorial films, Oliver died in 1957 by going into coma and sticking to bed. And Stan, following Oliver's path in the year 1965, died in his sleep.
Though these stars on earth have died, but their memories are immortal.
