Some puppy love.. .. with Victor Borge

So... Today's guest is birthday boy

Victor Borge 

* January 3, 1909 (Copenhagen, Denmark)

† December 23, 2000 (Greenwich, Connecticut, USA)

So - how does he fit into the On The Run series??

In short:

He was born as Børge Rosenbaum and in the 1940s his parody of Adolf Hitler was quite popular (and by that famous) in Denmark - that is: he wasn't too popular with the Nazi ocupying force that he was Jewish didn't help either - so he escaped over Finland to America - and became there also very popular with mostly comic performances..

Back to Dog Tuesday:

He not only appeared on Telly with a very famous dog:

- he also had one of the coolest autograph cards ever:

Thank you very much for listening!

Yours (very well and) truly
