Bing CrosbyWhile studying law at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, Crosby began singing in a musical group. In 1925, the group moved to Los Angeles, California, and, in the early 1930s, Bing set out on his own. He starred in his own CBS radio show which made him a household name. Along with other radio stars, he appeared in the feature film Big Broadcast of 1932. His later films included the "road comedies" with Bob Hope. Crosby won an Oscar for playing a priest in the 1944 film Going My Way. While playing golf in 1977, Crosby suffered a heart attack and died. Links:
