Quote of the Day: Milton Berle understood something about opportunity that many people learn only after years of waiting: sometimes, the moment you are hoping for simply does not arrive on its own. The legendary comedian and actor spent more than eight decades in show business, moving through silent films, vaudeville, radio, Broadway, movies and television. His career eventually made him one of the first major stars of American television and earned him the nickname “Mr. Television.” But Berle's success was built on reinvention as much as recognition. He kept performing, adapting and finding new ways to connect with audiences, leaving behind a career that became almost synonymous with American entertainment.
