BIRTH DATE: November 26, 1938, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
BIRTH NAME: Richard Caruthers Little
NICKNAME: The Man of a Thousand Voices
CLAIM TO FAME: Rich Little got his start just like almost
every other comic of his time - night clubs. he was a very
popular comic in these clubs, but if there was one thing
Rich was best known for, it was impersonations.
He studied the voices of many stars his whole life, stars
like James Stewart, Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, Dean Martin,
Truman Capote and George Burns.
FAMILY LIFE: Marie Marotta (October 2003 - present)
Jeannette Markey (October 1994 - February 1997) (divorced)
Jeanne Worden (1971 - 1989) (divorced) 1 child
INFO: In the late 1960s, Rich was dubbed "the best
impressionist in the world." During the 1970s, however,
a rivalry began between him and fellow impressionist
Frank Gorshin, who is five years older. Ultimately, Rich
overpowered Gorshin and remained the best impressionist
in the world. In 1973 Rich became more associated with
Dean Martin and made countless appearances on the "Dean
Martin Celebrity Roasts," honoring most of the people
he impersonated.
Besides impressions, Rich also had a successful career as
a narrator in many stories, made many appearances in TV
series, and hosted many TV shows. He also made his first
movie, as Otterlake in 'The Other Side of the Wind' in
1972. His acting career wasn't as successful as his
impressions, but he did have a great talent. After the
1980s, Rich calmed down and moved away from the limelight.
