One played a shy and fragile character, childish and simple, the other a big clumsy, deceptively nasty.

For 30 years, Laurel and Hardy have been an inseparable comedic duo, both on stage and in life.

In 1921, Stan Laurel (1890-1965) and Oliver Hardy (1892-1957) were reunited for the first time on screen in the silent short film The Lucky Dog, by Jess Robbins.

In this first comic exchange, one tries to steal a dog from the other.

But the duo will not really form until 1927, during the filming of the film Les Deux Détectives.

Laurel and Hardy will stick together until death do them part.
