Title card for Biography TV series.

Status: Partially Lost


Biography is an early documentary series running from 1961 to 1964 narrated by the late Mike Wallace.[1] The series aired around 65 episodes of 30-minutes each and generally covered deceased male figures with political significance. These include Mark Twain, Mahatma Gandhi, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Josef Stalin, and others. The show is also noteworthy as a preservation of cold war sensibilities with respect to the figures covered.

Several of these episodes have been digitized from 16mm prints circulated in schools following the syndication of the series.[2] Many of these can be found in an Educational Films section of Archive's massive video collection.[3] Other episodes have either not survived or have not been digitized and made public yet.
