Happy Birthday Mel Brooks!
Mel Brooks was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1926, and was already working as a comedian in his neighborhood by the time he was a teenager. After serving in World War II, Brooks returned home and worked as an entertainer in various resorts in New York’s Catskills region, performing standup comedy and even working as a drummer at times.
