A warm and intimate portrait of the quintessential humorist of an age – Jack Benny – by Irving A. Fein, Jack's personal manager, and with an introduction by George Burns. — When Americans heard the rasping strains of "Love in Bloom" and the first long-drawn-out, perfectly timed "Well!" they sat back and prepared to laugh at that dean of comedians Jack Benny. Now Irving Fein, Jack's friend for twenty-eight years, reaches behind the persona of "the world's worst violin player" and "the stingiest man in in show business" to write about Jack Benny the man: a gentle, generous, yet serious person who loved to make people laugh and who loved to laugh himself.
It's all here – the best anecdotes of a half century in show business, the enduring friendships with stars as well as everyday people, his long and happy marriage to Mary Livingstone. Anyone who ever laughed at or with Jack Benny will treasure this perspective, revealing tribute to a man who represented humor itself, a man whose voice characterized the laughter of an age – Mr. Jack Benny.
