W.C. FIELDS - NEW FROM EFSP

New from our friends at European Film Star  Postcards:

W.C. FIELDS

W.C. Fields (1880-1946) was an American comedian, actor, juggler, and writer, who became known as an entertainer in vaudeville shows and on Broadway at the turn of the century. In the 1920s, he starred in numerous silent film comedies. Fields' comic persona was a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist, who remained a sympathetic character despite his supposed contempt for children and dogs. In the 1930s and 1940, he became one of Hollywood's best-known film comedians. 

Among his recognisable trademarks were his swollen nose, raspy drawl, and grandiloquent vocabulary. READ AND SEE MORE HERE.
