JACK BENNY
His signed, typed letter discloses that he has entered daughter Joan's name
in a drawing.
TLS: "Jack", 1 page, 7¼x10½. Beverly Hills, California, 1967
January 12. On sheet bearing his facsimile signature at upper margin to
"Dear Adah". In full: "Thanks very much for your thoughtful
gift. I put down my daughter's name for the drawing. All good wishes to you
and Ted for the New Year and Mary and I wish you both health and happiness.
Love". Ink note (unknown hand) beneath signature: "re - stubs upper part to
Joan". Mary was Benny's wife, MARY LIVINGSTONE. The couple, who married
in 1927, adopted a daughter, JOAN NAOMI, in 1934. In 1967, Benny would
appear in one feature film, A Guide for the Married Man, and guest star
on an episode of the TV series, The London Palladium Show. Vaudeville
comedian Jack Benny (1894-1974), born Benjamin Kubelsky, 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). Lightly creased with folds,
not at signature. Fine condition.
