DeWolfe (1907-1974, born William Andrew Jones in Wollaston,
Massachusetts) was an actor of vaudeville, stage, film and TV. He got his start
in vaudeville and musical revues in the late 1930s; his best known act was
"Mrs. Murgatroyd", with a mustachioed De Wolfe in spectacles and a flowered hat
impersonating a middle-aged woman. His best known persona, though, was as
a lisping, effeminate man with the catchphrace "Busy, busy, busy!" He
first appeared on film in 1943, the first of his 30 movies and TV shows. His
career enjoyed a renaissance in the 1960s and 1970s. Evidently, something in his
campy performance struck a chord with audiences of that era, and he was a
frequent guest on The Tonight Show (1970-1972). He also landed recurring
roles as Jules Benedict on That Girl (1966-1969), as Roland B. Hutton,
Jr. on Good Morning, World (1967) and as Willard Jarvis on The Doris
Day Show (1969-1973). Lightly toned and creased. Folded once and unfolded.
Otherwise, fine condition.
