Keefe Brasselle (February 7, 1923 – July 7, 1981) was an American film actor, television actor/producer and author.
He is best remembered for the starring role in The Eddie Cantor Story (1953).
The film was a response to the wildly successful The Jolson Story and Jolson Sings Again starring Larry Parks.
The Eddie Cantor Story, however, could not equal the success of the Jolson films and Brasselle's career did not launch as anticipated.
In 1953, Brasselle hosted an episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour actor Gene Wesson as a promotional tie-in for the film.
