Comedian and actor Alan King (1927-2004) honed his material working in the Catskills and
entertaining New Yorkers with his routine focusing on the frustrations of the middle-class
Americans dealing with bloated, inefficient commercial and governmental institutions. He
toured the U.S. and Great Britain with Judy Garland's variety show, including a
command performance before Queen Elizabeth II. King published his first book of jokes in
1962, and continued appearing in various clubs and hotels. He appeared on Broadway in the
late 1960s, then moved on to films in the 1980s and 1990s, including Author! Author!
(1982), Enemies: A Love Story (1989), Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) and Casino (1995).
While in college in the 1930s, JOHN RAITT began drawing portraits of famous people. He
sent his artwork to each subject with a request that it be autographed and returned to him.
