Comedian
Lenny Bruce started making jokes at the age of 22 and achieved success before joining the American Navy during WWII. After a respectable cast, Bruce got married and moved to California, where he resumed his standing career, this time offering edgiers, to play the controversy. Authorities quickly identified Bruce's actions and arrested him repeatedly for fraud. A sign of free speech as his career progressed, Bruce struggled with drugs, succumbed to a morphine overdose in 1966.
