He had a few movie appearances, including in 1930's Puttin' on the Ritz, featuring the Irving Berlin song. However, most of Richman's experience was on the stage. He began as a piano accompanist for stars like Mae West and Nora Bayes, but was a singer, dancer, comedian, songwriter, and bandleader in his own right. Richman had a total of 10 Broadway appearances between 1920 and 1935, most of them revues and including George White's Scandals (1928-1929) and Ziegfield Follies of 1931 (1931). Richman, an amateur aviator, and Dick Merrill, chief pilot of Eastern Airlines, made the first roundtrip nonstop crossing of the North Atlantic in 1936. Light show through on each side. Nightclub entertainer JEAN MAGOWAN also appeared in one film, Telethon (1977), set among Las Vegas entertainers. NEIL DOUGLAS is an Australian author (A Far Cry).
