Eddie Bracken: New York City
built 630 days ago
Carol Channing, Eddie Bracken, John Carradine and Alan Reed lend their voices to this animated tale based on Mel Brooks's Broadway musical adaptation of Don Marquis's stories. Set in New York City, the tale follows Archy, a cockroach who's madly in love with Mehitabel, a footloose and fancy-free cat. Archy's on top of the world when he joins the feline fatale for adventure, but rugged alley cat Big Bill competes for Mehitabel's affections.

Born Edward Vincent Bracken in Queens, New York City, in 1915, he started performing while in nursery school. As a child, he was given a contract to appear with the American Sound Studio's Kiddie Troupers, playing the "Rich Kid" in a series of silent shorts filmed in New York. His parents then sent him to the New York City Professional Children's School for Actors, and at the age of 17 he made his Broadway début in the play The Lady Refuses (1933).
