Happy Birthday, W.C. Fields.

(January 29, 1880 – December 25, 1946)

The Great Man was born 143 years ago today (though I believe there’s some questions at about that birth year).

As I see it, there’s never been anyone funnier than W.C. Fields.

Happy Birthday, W.C. Fields.

W.C. Fields (William Claude Dukenfield)
(January 29, 1880 – December 25, 1946)

The World’s Funniest Man was born 139 years ago today. He’s seen here with Mr. Muckle (Charles Sellon) in It’s A Gift (1934).
