Al Shean
Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALS : Al Shean
Al Shean (May 12, 1868 in Germany - August 12, 1949) was the stage name for comedian Albert Schönberg.
Schönberg's father was a magician. His sister, Minnie, married Simon "Frenchie" Marx, whose children would become the Marx Brothers.
After making a name for himself in vaudeville, Shean teamed up with Edward Gallagher to create the act Gallagher and Shean. While the act was successful, the men apparently did not like each other much.
Shean's son, also named Al Shean, worked on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
