'''[[Fred Rogers|Fred McFeely Rogers]]''' (March 20, 1928&nbsp;– February 27, 2003) was an American [[television personality]], musician, [[puppeteer]], writer, producer, and [[Presbyterian]] minister. He was the creator, producer, head writer, and host of the children's television series ''[[Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]]'' from 1968 until he [[Retirement|retired]] in 2001. He was also the music composer for the program.<br />
<br />
Rogers was not happy with the television shows that children were seeing. He began to write and perform local [[Pittsburgh]]-area shows for children. In 1968, [[American Public Television|Eastern Educational Television Network]] began distributing Rogers's new show across the United States on [[WQED (TV)|WQED]]. For thirty years, Rogers became a [[cultural icon|television icon]] of children's entertainment and education.<br />
<br />
Rogers supported many public causes. In the [[Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.|Betamax case]], the [[Supreme Court of the United States|U.S. Supreme Court]] used what Rogers said before a lower court to support [[fair use]] television recording. Rogers also spoke before a [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] committee to support government money for children's television.<br />
<br />
In August 2001, Rogers retired from recording ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood''. In October 2002, doctors told him he had [[stomach cancer]]. He died from the disease a few months later on February 27, 2003. He was 74 years old.<br />
