Billy Connolly - Erect for 30 Years
Born in Glasgow November 24, 1942, Billy left school early to become a welder in the Glasgow shipyards. He was one half of the Humblebums, a musical duo with Gerry Rafferty. His musical career found itself taking a back seat to his comic monologues to the point where he became known as a comedian first and foremost. His film career has continued to grow and he has acted with some the most prestigious names in the industry. Richard Burton, Michael Caine, Robert Redford, Mel Gibson, and others, but it was with the Award Winning film Mrs. Brown with Dame Judi Dench that his growing stature as an actor received international recognition.
