Fox will share stories and little-known facts about Berle in the 2 p.m. talk, titled “Uncle Miltie.”
The presentation will include information about Berle’s career in vaudeville, film, Broadway, radio, nightclubs and television, library spokeswoman Susan Cook said.
“You’ll also learn details of his early life, his rise to stardom, how he became ‘Mr. Television’ on the Texaco Star Theater, his post-television life, his awards, his close relationship with his mother, his gambling issues and his death,” Cook said.
The talk is part of Fox’s lecture series “Comedians with Class.”
Seating for the free lecture is first-come, first-served.
