"Andy Kaufman: I'm From Hollywood" Video
Best known as Latka in the TV series "Taxi", Kaufman saved his most bizarre material for his life off the set. First, he declared himself "Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion," challenging any and all women to try to pin him. He then initiated a feud with Southern champion Jerry Lawler that landed him in the hospital. During one stand-up routine, Kaufman baffled the crowd by insisting on reading The Great Gatsby - cover to cover! While Kaufman battled with cancer, his fans thought it was just another act! Bottom line: Kaufman was a true American original.
