Tom Breneman
Known for Acting
In the 1920s, he began his career in radio which included singing, acting, writing, producing and even managing radio stations. Relocating to Hollywood, he conceived the idea of his program "Breakfast at Sardi's," which went on the air on January 13, 1941. He soon acquired his own restaurant, Tom Breneman's Restaurant, located on Vine Street off Sunset Boulevard and changed his show to "Breakfast in Hollywood". The program aired (1941-48), and was one of the most popular ABC-Radio daytime shows of all time. He also was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Radio.
