Bruce Forsyth Compleanno, Data di Nascita
Sir Bruce Joseph Forsyth-Johnson (22 February 1928 – 18 August 2017), also known as Brucie, was a British entertainer and television personality whose career spanned over 75 years. His appeal stemmed from his showmanship, quick wit, and ability to connect with audiences, a talent honed during years on the post-war variety circuit. His legacy is marked by a transition from traditional music hall performance to the evolving world of television.
Forsyth started his live public performances aged 14, and hosted the variety show Sunday Night at the London Palladium for three years. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Forsyth became famous for presenting several successful British game shows. He is particularly remembered for his work on the BBC series The Generation Game, which he hosted from 1971 to 1977 and again from 1990 to 1994. Moving to ITV, he hosted other successful game shows, including Play Your Cards Right (the British version of Card Sharks) from 1980 to 1987, 1994 to 1999 and from 2002 to 2003, and Bruce's Price is Right (the British version of The Price is Right) from 1995 to 2001.
Forsyth found a new generation of fans by co-hosting the BBC's talent show Strictly Come Dancing with Tess Daly from 2004 to 2013. He was an enthusiastic and lifelong supporter of numerous charities, particularly those concerned with the welfare of children, disabled people, and animals. Forsyth was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1998, a Commander in 2006, and a Knight Bachelor in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to entertainment and charity. In 2012, Guinness World Records recognised Forsyth as having the longest television career for a male entertainer. Towards the end of his life, Forsyth suffered from ill health, which reduced his appearances in public. He made his last full TV appearance on the Strictly Children in Need Special in 2015.
