About me

Location	Los Angeles, California
Introduction	I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1909. After high school, I moved to LA to study law. I worked with the DWP, later served in the State Legislature, was in World War II, served as a lawyer, went back to the Assembly, then Congress. I ran for many seats I lost but eventually became Mayor of LA in 1961. I served until 1973 when I got beat by Tom Bradley. I have hosted a TV show, a radio show, appeared in movies and TV shows - even once with Lucille Ball! I even ran for governor, US President and one more time for Mayor in 1981. I died in 1998 at my home in Studio City. Not a bad run. Not bad at all.
