- Bernard Mendelovitch was born on February 11, 1925 in London, England, UK. He died on March 8, 2004 in Bournemouth, Dorset, England, UK.
- One of the pillars of the last regular Yiddish theatre company in England, at the Grand Palais in Whitechapel, London.
- The only British-born member of the last company of Yiddish actors to perform at the Grand Palaise in Whitechapel. Because he was equally fluent in both English and Yiddish, many refused to believe he was actually an "Englander."
- His father was a Polish-born tailor who spent most of his life in England, but never learned to read or write English.
- Collaborated with fellow Yiddish actor Harry Ariel on Yiddish parodies of popular hits such as "My Way" and "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina."
- His day job was working for an insurance company.
- Remember - 'loyfn un kakn kan nor a ferd' - only a horse can run and shit at the same time.
