Description

The Art of W. C. Fields by William K. Everson (1967, Book, Illustrated). First in vaudeville, then in silent films, the comic art of W. C. Fields was his unique ability, antic imagination with masterful pantomime. With the coming of the talkies, Fields added his own special brand of caustic dialogue, to reign for many years as a film star of the first rank. William Claude Dukenfield (January 29, 1880– December 25, 1946), better known as W. C. Fields, was an American comedian, actor, juggler, and writer. Fields's comic persona was a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist who remained a sympathetic character despite his supposed contempt for children and dogs.
