From Wikipedia:
Al Jolson (1886 - 1950) was born Asa Yoelson in the village of Srednike, now known as Seredžius, near Kaunas in Lithuania, then part of the Russian Empire. 
American singer, comedian, actor, and vaudevillian, Jolson was one of the US' most famous and highest-paid stars of the 1910s and 1920s. He had a "shamelessly sentimental, melodramatic approach" towards performing and has been referred to by modern critics as "the king of blackface performers". In an essay written in 2000, music critic Ted Gioia remarked, 'If blackface has its shameful poster boy, it is Al Jolson', showcasing Jolson's complex legacy in American society. Although best remembered today as the star of the first talking picture, The Jazz Singer (1927), he starred in a series of successful musical films during the 1930s. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, he was the first star to entertain troops overseas during World War II.'
