Richard Pryor

Wednesday March 4, 2009
Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images. Comedian Richard Pryor introduced a new kind of humor to the stage in the 1960s. He was foul-mouthed, non-apologetic, and authentic. Despite the initial shock of his style, his insight into human nature, racism, and his personal reflections on life was appealing to both black and white audiences.
