Laurel And Hardy Meet Superman

Laurel and Hardy didn't make a career out of meeting people so much as Abbott and Costello did, but Stan Laurel did happen to meet Superman. Knew him pretty well, as a matter of fact.


Reblogged from http://www.nuttynutnewsnetwork.co.uk/april2012december2012.html
















From the Facebook page The Making of Stan Laurel. Echoes of a British Boyhood. The model for Superman was the professional wrestler Karol Krauser (real name Piwoworczyk). What has that to do with Stan Laurel you ask? Well, Stan was best man at Karol’s wedding. You will see from this photo, in real life Stan was a tall as Superman!
