Fanny Brice (October 29, 1891 – May 29, 1951) was a popular and influential American illustrated song model, comedian, singer, theater and film actress, who made many stage, radio and film appearances and is known as the creator and star of the top-rated radio comedy series, The Baby Snooks Show.

Funny Girl Debunked: Fanny Brice Facts. Fanny Brice as she appears on the sheet music for "Rose of Washington Square," which she introduced in Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolics. Funny Girl makes no mention of Fanny's friendship with Irving Berlin. His "Sadie Salome Go Home" helped Fanny break into the big-time. The film version of Funny Girl shows Fanny doing a "Baby Snooks" routine in the Follies on the night in 1920 that Ziegfeld tells her Nick has been arrested. In fact, she did not create Snooks until the 1933 Follies, a year after Ziegfeld's death.

Fanny Brice was born on October 29, 1891, on New York's Lower East Side. She was the daughter of Charles Borach, a saloonkeeper, and Rose Stern, a real estate agent. As a child she sang and danced in her father's saloon, and at the age of 13, after winning an amateur contest, she sang and played piano in a movie theater. Perhaps the pathos she brought to that character was from her personal experience-her husband, Nickie Arnstein, had just been jailed for embezzlement and she had to stand by him. This was one of her few totally straight performances, and it is one for which she will be remembered. In 1924 Brice, displeased with the material Ziegfeld was giving her, returned to vaudeville for a time.
