Tom Breneman

Radio Personality | * 06/18/1901 († 46, 04/28/1948)
Thomas Breneman Smith (June 18, 1900 – April 28, 1948) was an American radio personality. For most of his career, he was based in Southern California, in Los Angeles and Hollywood. His radio program was such a success that he established the eponymous Tom Breneman's Restaurant in Hollywood, which attracted many actors, musicians and others. ()

In the 1920s, he began his career in radio which included singing, acting, writing, producing and even managing radio stations. Relocating to Hollywood, he conceived the idea of his program "Breakfast at Sardi's," which went on the air on January 13, 1941. He soon acquired his own restaurant, Tom Breneman's Restaurant, located on Vine Street off Sunset Boulevard and changed his show to "Breakfast in Hollywood". The program aired (1941-48), and was one of the most popular ABC-Radio daytime shows of all time. He also was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Radio..
