Robert Osborne

Robert Joline Osborne (born May 3, 1932 in Colfax, Washington) is an American actor and film historian best known as the host of the Turner Classic Movies network since its inception in 1994. As of 2007, he also co-hosts TCM's The Essentials with Carrie Fisher.

Osborne graduated from the University of Washington's School of Journalism, and began his career working as an actor for Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. Ball suggested to Osborne that he should combine his love of film with his abilities as a journalist. Osborne, perpetually intimidated by Ball, took this advice, though he has had a number of small parts in television and film, including an appearance parodying his TCM hosting job on Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.

Osborne has been writing a column for The Hollywood Reporter since 1982. In 2003, Abbeville Press published Osborne's 75 Years of the Oscar: The Official History of the Academy Awards.
