Victor Borge Autographs
Børge Rosenbaum (Danish: ; Yiddish: בורגע ראזענבוים, romanized: Burge Razenboym; January 3, 1909 – December 23, 2000), known professionally as Victor Borge (/ˈbɔːrɡə/ BOR-gə), was a Danish-American actor, comedian, and pianist who achieved great popularity in radio and television in both North America and Europe. His blend of music and comedy earned him the nicknames "The Clown Prince of Denmark," "The Unmelancholy Dane," and "The Great Dane."
Victor Borge was born Børge Rosenbaum on January 3, 1909 in Copenhagen, Denmark, into an Ashkenazi Jewish family. His parents, Frederikke (née Lichtinger) and Bernhard Rosenbaum, were both musicians: his father a violist in the Royal Danish Orchestra, and his mother a pianist. Borge began piano lessons at the age of two, and it was soon apparent that he was a prodigy. He gave his first piano recital when he was eight years old, and in 1918 was awarded a full scholarship at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, studying under Olivo Krause. Later on, he was taught by Victor Schiøler, Liszt's student Frederic Lamond, and Busoni's pupil Egon Petri.
Borge played his first major concert in 1926 at the Odd Fellows Mansion concert hall. After a few years as a classical concert pianist, he started his now-famous stand-up act with the signature blend of piano music and jokes. He married the American Elsie Chilton in 1933, the same year he debuted with his revue acts. Borge started touring extensively in Europe, where he began telling anti-Nazi jokes.
