Robert Clary – Born in 1926, Hogan’s Heroes

One thing about seeing a person portray different characters on-screen is that it’s easy to forget that they’re just as human as we are. So the fame Robert Clary enjoyed throughout his career cannot erase all he suffered as a young Jewish boy.

The rainbow after his storm came in the ’40s when he made his first music recordings which became popular in France and the United States. Clary also began making regular appearances on shows like “The Colgate Comedy Hour” after his comedic talent came to light. He also enjoyed massive success with “Hogan’s Heroes” before taking on his last movie role in 2001.
