Al Shean

   

Al Shean (May 12, 1868 - August 12, 1949) was the stage name for comedian Albert Schoenberg. Schoenberg's father was a magician and his sister, Minnie, married "Frenchie" Marx, whose chilren 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 "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show"
