Brice, Fanny (b. Fannie Borach)

(1891–1951) comedienne; born in New York City. Born on Manhattan's Lower East Side to successful immigrant saloon-keepers, at age fourteen she assumed the name Brice and built a comedic act based on parody, dialect, and physical humor. A perennial Ziegfeld Follies attraction after 1910, she attained international stardom in the 1921 Follies with her signature torch-song parody, "My Man." Appearing in vaudeville, musicals, drama, movies, and radio throughout her career with such luminaries as W. C. Fields, Eddie Cantor, and Will Rogers, she excelled at lampooning the fake and preposterous. Eschewing jokes about home life, Brice demonstrated that women could succeed in entertainment without exploiting their sexuality or making buffoons of themselves or other women.
