Buffalo, New York, USA:
Dick Shawn, eigentlich Richard Schulefand, war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler und Komiker. Er spielte eine Vielzahl von Nebenrollen und war ein vielseitiger Charakterdarsteller. In den 1960er-Jahren übernahm er kleinere Rollen in turbulenten Komödien und verkörperte dabei meist Karikaturen von Persönlichkeiten der Gegenkultur, wie etwa den hedonistischen, aber mutterbesessenen Sylvester Marcus in „Eine total, total verrückte Welt“ und den Hippie-Schauspieler Lorenzo Saint DuBois in „The Producers“. Neben seiner Filmarbeit wirkte er von den 1960er- bis in die 1980er-Jahre in zahlreichen Fernsehsendungen mit.
