To see Fred Waring's radio star, click on the image above.
Los Angeles — Fred Waring, Penn State Class of '22, is the first Penn Stater to make it to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and only one of a few celebrities to have not one but three stars, for radio, television and recording. See a short video clip here.
He was nationally known as director and founder of The Pennsylvanians orchestra and chorus; a pioneer in radio, stage shows, television and recording; fostered choral singing in America by organizing the Fred Waring Music Workshop; and co-inventor of the Waring Blender.
A feature video about Waring and the University's extensive Waring Collection at Pattee Library is online at http://live.psu.edu/video/44.
