    Howard Keel

    Red Collar Rat

    Howard Keel (Harold Clifford Leek) who was born in Illinois, USA, had, in his own words a terrible, rotten childhood. His father, a former naval officer became a coal miner and a drunk and died when Howard was eleven years old. His mother a strict Methodist forbade him to go to any form of entertainment, and beat him severely.

    However, in his twenties, whilst working as a mechanic, he went to a recital by the famous baritone Laurence Tibbett. The effect was so great that he took singing lesson in the evenings. His first job was as a singing waiter in Los Angeles earning $15 a week plus two meals a day. With a natural rich and powerful quality of voice he was soon summoned to audition for Oscar Hammerstein II for the part of Curly in the touring production of 'Oklahama'. His subsequent career, as the major male lead, reads like a Who's Who of the great musicals - 'Oklahoma' and 'Carousel' on Broadway and London, and with MGM 'Annie Get Your Gun'
