    W.C. Fields
    (William Claude Dukenfield)
    American actor and screen writer.
    W.C. Fields (born January 29, 1880, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S .- died December 25, 1946, Pasadena, California).
    He was an actor whose flawless timing and humorous cantankerousness made him one of America's greatest comedians. His real-life and screen personalities were often indistinguishable, and he is remembered for his distinctive nasal voice, his antisocial character, and his fondness for alcohol.
    To many, Fields ranks alongside Chaplin and Keaton as one of the screen's greatest comic performers. Critics have made the distinction that, while Chaplin may have been America's greatest comic filmmaker, Fields was America's funniest man. He died on Christmas Day, 1946-ironically appropriate for a disbeliever who once confessed to be studying the Bible "for loopholes."
    He was a vaudeville headliner as a juggler and appeared for seven seasons
    (1915-21) in the Ziegfeld Follies
    . His starring role in the stage hit
    Poppy (1923)
    brought him to Hollywood for its film adaptation,
    Sally of the Sawdust (1925)
    . He emerged as a top film comedian only after the advent of sound pictures, when audiences could hear his distinctive raspy voice. His screen personality-an unlovable but hilarious con man, braggart, misanthrope, and hater of children and dogs-was largely his own. Fields wrote and improvised the action for most of his films, which include comedies such as
    You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939)
    ,
    My Little Chickadee (1940)
    ,
    The Bank Dick (1940)
    , and
    Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941)
    . His only serious role was
    Mr. Micawber in David Copperfield (1935)
    .
