JACK BENNY
(1894-1974)
hosted a popular radio show from 1933, moving
The Jack Benny Program
smoothly to TV
(1950-1965).
His comic image as a tone-deaf, penny-pinching bachelor contradicted the real Benny, a philanthropist, devoted husband and competent violinist. He appeared in over 25 movies, the most critically acclaimed being
To Be or Not To Be
(1942).
MYRNA LOY
(
1905-1993
) was a dancer who entered films in the silent era (1925). In a film career that continued up until 1980 (
Just Tell Me What You Want
being her final feature film), she frequently played strong, independent women. She
co-starred with William Powell as husband and wife detectives in the six movies of
The Thin Man
series (1934-1947)
. Working through World War II with the Red Cross, she returned after the war in some of her strongest roles:
The Best Years of Our Lives
(1946),
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
(1948) and
Cheaper By the Dozen
(1950). She was awarded an
honorary Oscar in 1991
. Vaudeville and dramatic stage performer
VICTOR MOORE (1876-1962) first appeared in silent films in 1915. He excelled in character roles in the 1930s and 1940s,
typically portraying bumbling, helpless little men, such as the Vice President in Gershwin's 1932 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical,
Of Thee I Sing
. American author and journalist
JOHN F. KIERAN (1892-1981)
began his journalism career with the
New York Times
in 1915, working as a sportswriter for several years. He had a particularly
long tenure with the Times as a senior sports writer from 1927 to 1943,
and is often credited with coining the term "grand slam" for tennis. Kieran was also often viewed as an intellectual and became a popular panelist on the game show
Information, Please!
(1938-1948)
, leading to his own series,
John Kieran's Kaleidoscope
. He published his autobiography,
Not Under Oath
, in 1964.
