Biography is a television documentary series. From 1961 to1964, it was a half-hour filmed series hosted by Mike Wallace and produced by David Wolper for CBS. It was eventually re-run on the A&E Network, which has been producing new episodes since 1987. Historical luminaries like Helen Keller and Mark Twain, as well as long-dead entertainers like Will Rogers and John Barrymore, were featured in the previous version. Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong, and Queen Elizabeth II, as well as fictional characters such as The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus, have all been featured in the A&E series. The program profiled enough people that A&E split it off into its own network, The Biography Channel, in 1999. The majority of the episodes initially focused on the lives of historical figures or current political or social leaders. William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Enrico Caruso, and Eva Peron were among the people highlighted. However, after a few years, the show began producing episodes about celebrities such as Britney Spears, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, and Marilyn Manson. Some have questioned this shift away from exclusively academic subjects.
