Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Randy Skretvedt (b. November 1958) is an American film and music scholar, author, lecturer and broadcaster. His 1987 book Laurel and Hardy: The Magic Behind the Movies (updated in 1996) is the reference standard for Laurel and Hardy fans (known as Sons of the Desert after their appreciation society, which itself derives from the 1933 Laurel and Hardy film of the same name). Skretvedt is also the host of the radio show Forward Into the Past, which airs weekly on KSPC-FM in Claremont, California (88.7-FM and KSPC online). His nom de heterodyne is Randy Brian. Skretvedt's interests in vintage media started in childhood and range across the board, including films, music and radio. His primary area of focus is the period between the world wars: the 1920s, '30s and '40s. His penchant for collecting was evident early on; even as a child he began acquiring books, records, memorabilia, rare photos, letters, ephemera, documents — even Super 8mm prints of classic film comedies.
