Love the following exchange ... W.C.: I never argue with a chap who's father was a coffee table. Charlie McCarthy: Oh, yeah? Well, if my father was a coffee table, your father was UNDER him!"

William Claude Dukenfield (January 29, 1880 – December 25, 1946), better known as W. C. Fields. His comic persona was a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist, who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs, children, and women. The characterization he portrayed in films and on radio was so strong it was generally identified with Fields himself. It was maintained by the publicity departments at Fields' studios (Paramount and Universal) and was further established by Robert Lewis Taylor's biography, W.C. Fields, His Follies and Fortunes (1949). Despite this perception, Field was actually married (although estranged from his wife), and had a family. He always provided for them, contrary to him being considered a miser, until his death in 1946. Fields died from an alcohol-related stomach hemorrhage, on the holiday he claimed to despise: Christmas Day. He was cremated and his ashes interred at Forest Lawn in Glendale, inside the Great Mausoleum.
