Early life
Mostel was born as Samuel Joel Mostel to Israel Mostel, an Eastern European Jew, and Cina (Celia), also from a Jewish family, who was born in Poland and raised in Vienna. The two immigrated to the US (separately: Israel in 1898 and Cina in 1908) where they met and married. Israel already had 4 children from his first wife, and Cina gave him 4 more. Samuel (later Zero) was their seventh. Vienna (German: Wien ; Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian: BeÄ, Czech: VÃdeň, Hungarian: Bécs, Romanian: Viena, Romani: Bech or Vidnya, Russian: Вена, Slovak: Viedeň, Slovenian: Dunaj) is the capital of Austria, and also one of the nine States of Austria. ...
Initially living in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, the family moved to Moodus, Connecticut, where they bought a farm. The family’s income in those days came from a winery and a slaughterhouse. The farm did not do well, and the family moved to the Lower East Side, where Mostel’s character was shaped, and where his father was employed as a wine chemist. While not at poverty level, the family had to nonetheless struggle financially. While a child, Mostel was described by his family as outgoing and lively, and with a developed sense of humor. He showed an intelligence and perception that convinced his father he had the makings of a rabbi; however, Mostel preferred painting and drawing, a passion he was to retain for life. Even as a boy, he used to spend many hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art either viewing of making drawings of paintings. Brownsville is the name of several places in the United States of America: Brownsville, Florida Brownsville, Kentucky Brownsville, Maryland Brownsville, Oregon Brownsville, Pennsylvania Brownsville, Tennessee Brownsville, Texas Brownsville, Vermont Brownsville is also a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn in Canada: Brownsville, British Columbia Brownsville, Nova Scotia Brownsville, Durham Region...

The central lobby of the museum The Metropolitan Museum of Art, often referred to simply as The Met, is one of the worlds largest and most important art museums, located on the eastern edge of Central Park in Manhattan, New York, United States. ...
Already at a young age he developed the duality of character that baffled critics years later: when alone he was studious and quiet, but when observed he felt he had to be the center of attention, which he invariably did through use of humor. The fact that at home he spoke English, Yiddish, Italian and German helped him reach out to audiences of many ethnicities in New York.
He attended Public School 188, where he had been an A student (this is in contrast to his later claim that he was nicknamed Zero after his grade average). He also received professional training as a painter through The Educational Alliance. He completed his high school education at Seward Park High, where, interestingly, his yearbook voiced the following prophesy: “A future Rembrandt… or perhaps a comedian?”
College and early Comic Routines Mostel attended the City College of New York, a free college that allowed many poor students to pursue higher education. As only beginner classes were available in art, he took them repeatedly to be able to paint and receive professional feedback. During that time he worked odd jobs, and graduated in 1935 with a bachelor’s degree. He then continued studying towards a masters in arts, and also joined the PWAP (Public Works of Art Project) which paid him a stipend to teach art. The City College of The City University of New York (known more commonly as City College of New York or simply City College, CCNY, or colloquially as City) is a senior college of the City University of New York, in New York City. ...
The Public Works of Art Project was an program to employ artists, as part of the New Deal, during the Great Depression. ...
In 1939 he married Clara Sverd, and the couple moved to an apartment in Brooklyn. The marriage did not last, however, since Clara could not accept the many hours Mostel spent in his studio with his fellow artists, and he did not seem to be able to provide for her at the level she had been accustomed to. They separated in 1941 and divorced in 1945.
Part of Mostel’s PWAP duty was to give gallery talks at New York’s museums. Leading groups of students through the many paintings, Mostel could not suppress his comedic nature, and his lectures became famous not so much for their artistic content as for his sense of humor. As his reputation grew, he was invited to entertain at parties and other social occasions, earning 3-5 dollars per performance. Labor Union Social Clubs followed, were Mostel mixed his comic routine with social commentary. These performances would play a large role in his eventual blacklisting in the next decade.
In 1941, Café Society – a downtown Manhattan nightclub – approached Mostel with an offer to become a professional comedian and play a regular spot. Mostel accepted, and in the next few months he became Café Society’s main attraction. It was at the Café Society that he adapted the stage name Zero (Zee to his friends). At the age of 27, Mostel dropped every other job and occupation to start his show business career.
Rise Mostel’s rise from this point on was rapid. In 1942 alone his salary at the Café Society went up from $40 a week to $450, he appeared on radio shows, opened in two Broadway shows (Keep Them Laughing, Top-Notchers), played at the Paramount theatre, appeared in an MGM movie (Du Barry Was a Lady), and booked into La Martinique at $4,000 a week. He also made cameo appearances at the Yiddish theatre, which style influenced his own. In 1943, Life Magazine described him as “just about the funniest American now living.” Broadway theatre is often considered the highest professional form of theatre in the United States. ...

In March of 1943, Mostel was drafted by the Army. His length of service is hard to determine as conflicting accounts exist – some that he was released after 6 months due to colitis, others that he served to the end of the war. At any rate it is apparent that he was honorably discharged and gave the troops many months of free entertainment through the USO until 1945.

Mostel married Kathryn (Kate) Cecilia Harkin, a Chez Paree club chorus girl, on July 2nd 1944, after 2 years of courtship. The marriage was shaky at times, mostly, again, due to Mostel’s spending most of his time in his art studio. Their relationship was described by friends of the family as complicated, with many fights but mutual adoration. The couple stayed together until Mostel’s death and had two children: Joshua (Josh) in 1946 and Tobias (Toby) in 1948. 1946 (MCMXLVI) was a common year starting on Tuesday. ...

After Mostel’s discharge from the army, his career took off again. He appeared in a series of plays, musicals, operas and movies. In 1946 he even made an attempt at serious operatic acting (in The Beggars Opera), but received lukewarm reviews. Critics saw him as a versatile performer, who was equally adept at a Moliere play as he was on the stage of a night club. Molière, engraved frontispiece to his Works Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière (January 15, 1622 - February 17, 1673), was a French theatre writer, director and actor, one of the masters of comic satire. ...
Blacklist Years and HUAC Testimony With growing popularity and many excellent reviews, Mostel’s career nonetheless came to a complete halt during the 1950’s. Seeing many of his show business friends blacklisted and forced to name names of supposed Communists, it came as no surprise to him that he was named, too. On January 29th, 1952, Martin Berkeley had identified him to the House Committee on Un-American Activities as having been a member of the Communist party (Berkeley had named 160 people in all – more than any other witness). This was enough to ruin Mostel’s career even before he was subpoenaed to appear before HUAC, which happened on August 14th, 1955. He was offered the opportunity to redeem himself by giving the committee more names, but refused, choosing instead to Take the fifth and not answer any question that may incriminate himself (a direct refusal to name names would have allowed the committee to find him in contempt). The House Committee on Un-American Activities or HUAC (1945-1975) was an investigating committee of the United States House of Representatives. ...

The committee was presided by chairman Clyde Doyle. Mostel, who could not afford to hire a lawyer, testified before the committee on his own. His testimony had won him admiration in the blacklisted community, as in addition to not naming names he also confronted the committee on ideological matters, something that was rarely done. Among other things, he referred to Twentieth Century Fox as “Eighteen Century Fox” (due to their collaboration with the committee), and manipulated the committee members to appear foolish (see image below).

 Segment of Zero Mostel’s testimony before HUAC The admiration he received for his testimony did nothing to take him out of the blacklist, however, and the family had to struggle throughout the 1950’s with little income. Mostel used this time to work in his studio. Later he would say that he cherished those years for the time it had afforded him to do what he loved most. Mostel’s appearance before HUAC (as well as others) was incorporated into the 1972 play, Are You Now or Have You Ever Been…?

Ulysses in Nighttown and Career Revival In 1957, Toby Cole, a New York theatrical agent who strongly opposed the blacklist, contacted Mostel and asked to represent him. The partnership was to have the effect of reviving Mostel’s career and making him a household name. Mostel accepted the role of Leopold Bloom in Burgess Meredith's Ulysses in Nighttown, a play based of the novel Ulysses, which he greatly admired in his youth. It was an off-off-Broadway play produced in a small Houston street theater, but the reviews Mostel received were overwhelmingly favorable. Most notably, Newsweek’s Jack Kroll compared him to Laurence Olivier, writing, “something unbelievable happened. A fat comedian named Zero Mostel gave a performance that was even more astonishing than Olivier’s.” Mostel received the Obie award for best off-Broadway performance of the 1958-59 season.

After the success of Ulysses, Mostel received many offers to appear in classic roles, especially abroad. However, artistic differences with the directors and the low salaries he was offered prevented these from ever materializing. By this time the black list was beginning to crumble, and in 1959, he had a role in a few TV plays for the series, The World Of Sholem Aleichem on Channel 13.

1960’s and Height of Career On January 13th, 1960, while exiting a taxi on his way back from rehearsals for the play, The Good Soup, Mostel was hit by a bus and his leg was crushed. The doctors wanted to amputate the leg, which would have effectively ended his stage career. Mostel refused, accepting the risk of gangrene, and remained hospitalized for 4 months. The gamble paid off, but for the rest of his life, the massively-scarred leg gave him pain and required frequent rests and baths.
Later that year Mostel took on the role of Gogo in a TV adaptation of Waiting for Godot. In 1961, he played Jean in Rhinoceros to very favorable reviews. The New Republic’s Robert Brustein said that he had, “a great dancer’s control of movement, a great actor’s control of voice, a great mime’s control of facial expressions.” It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Go go (disambiguation). ...

In 1962 Mostel began work on the role of Pseudolus in the Broadway musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which was to be one of his most recognizable roles. Mostel did not originally want to do the role, which he thought below his capabilities, but was convinced by his wife and agent. The reviews were excellent, and, after a few slow weeks, the show became a great commercial success, conferring on Mostel a star status. It was also produced as a movie version in 1966, also starring Mostel.
On July 27th, 1964, Mostel opened as Tevye in the original Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof. Mostel’s respect for the works of Sholem Aleichem made him insist that some of the more serious verses in the book were incorporated into the mostly comedic musical, and he made major contributions to its shape. He also created the cantorial sounds made famous in songs such as If I Were a Rich Man. In later years, the actors who followed Mostel in the role of Tevye invariably followed his staging down to the smallest details. The show received rave reviews and was a great commercial success. Mostel received a Tony award for it (as well as for Forum and Rhinoceros) and was invited for a reception in the White House, officially ending his political pariah status. Sholom Aleichem Sholom (Sholem) Aleichem (February 18 (O.S.) = March 2 (N.S.), 1859 - May 13, 1916) was a popular humorist and author of Yiddish literature, including novels, short stories, and plays. ...

In 1967, Mostel appeared as Patiomkin in Great Catherine, and in 1968 he took on one of his most famous roles, that of Max Bialystock in The Producers. Mostel refused to accept the role at first, but director Mel Brooks convinced him to show the script to his wife, who then talked Mostel into doing it. His performance received mix reviews, and was not a great success at first, but the film has achieved cult status since. Mel Brooks on the talk show Parkinson. ...
Last Years In his last decade, Mostel showed little enthusiasm for artistic theatrical progress. Rather than choosing roles that would bring him critical acclaim or that he wanted to do, he seemed to be available for any role that paid well. The result was a succession of movies for which, for the first time since he had established himself as a performer, reviews were mixed at best. Such endeavors were The Great Bank Robbery, The Angel Levine, Once Upon a Scoundrel and Mastermind. This caused the devaluation of his star power: once a top-billing actor, he now had to make do with featured billing, and his appearance in a movie or play no longer guaranteed success.
There have been a few exceptions, however: the movie version of Rhinoceros, The Front (where he played Hecky Brown, a blacklisted performer whose story bears a similarity to Mostel’s own, and for which he was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor), and a theatrical revival of Fiddler and Ulysses in Nighttown. He also made memorable appearances in children’s shows such as Sesame Street (1974) and The Muppet Show (1977). The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), is a British organization that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, childrens film and television, and interactive media. ...

In the last 4 months of his life, Mostel took on a nutritionally unsound diet (later described by his friends as a starvation diet) that reduced his weight from 304 to 215 pounds. During rehearsals for the play The Merchant, he collapsed in his dressing room and was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He was diagnosed with a respiratory disorder and it was believed he was in no danger and would be released soon. However, on September 8th, 1977, Mostel suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness as a result of what was believed to be aortic aneurysm. The doctors performed surgery but could not revive him, and he was pronounced dead that evening. An aortic aneurysm is a general term for any swelling (dilatation or aneurysm) of the aorta, usually representing an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta at that location. ...
Character and Relationship with Other Performers Mostel had often collided with directors and other performers in the course of his professional career. He was described as irreverent, believing himself to be a comic genius (many critics agreed with him) and showed little patience for incompetence. He often improvised, which was received well by audiences but which oftentimes left other performers (who were not prepared for his ad-libbed lines) confused and speechless during live performance. He often dominated the stage whether or not his role called for it. Norman Jewison stated this as a reason for preferring Chaim Topol to him for the role of Tevye in the movie version of Fiddler on the Roof. Other producers, such as Jerome Robbins and Hal Prince, preferred to hire him on short contracts, knowing that he would become less faithful to the script as time went on. His larger-than-life persona, though largely responsible for his success, had also intimidated others in his profession and prevented him from receiving some important roles.
