Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry (May 30, 1902 – November 19, 1985), better known by the stage name Stepin Fetchit, was an American comedian and film actor.Perry parlayed the Fetchit persona into a successful film career, eventually becoming a millionaire, the first black actor in history to do so. He was the first black actor to receive featured screen credit in a film.Perry's typical film persona and stage name have long been controversial, and seen as illustrative of negative stereotypes of African-Americans. Seen through a modern lens, Perry's "laziest man in the world" character can be "painfully racist" but also "subversive".

#Quote
1Like [Charles Chaplin], I played the part of a simple, sincere, honest and lovable character who won sympathy from an audience by being tolerant of those who hurt him, so that he could be good to those he loved.
#Fact
1He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1751 Vine Street in Hollywood, California on February 8, 1960.
2Following his death, he was interred with a Catholic Funeral Mass at Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles, California.

4Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume One, 1981-1985, pages 271-273. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1998.
5Suffered a major stroke in 1976 that effectively ended his acting career.
6Has two sons: Jemajo Perry (born 1930) and Donald Lambright (1935-1969).
7Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith, pg. 158-159. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387
8Professional name was adopted from a Thoroughbred racehorse.
9The first black actor to become a millionaire, he owned 12 automobiles and had 16 servants at the height of his fame. By 1947, he had squandered his immense fortune and was forced into bankruptcy.
10Despite the strong criticisms he received during the civil rights era over his playing to the worst stereotypes of blacks, in later years he was praised for his part in opening doors for black actors, notably receiving the Special Image Award by the NAACP. He was elected to the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1978.
11He claimed 1902 as the year he was born, although other sources say 1896 or 1898.
12His humbling, ingratiating style of acting unfortunately became a stereotype for black actors in the early years of cinema.
