W. C. Fields is known as a virtuoso comedian and legendary
iconoclast who gave the gift of laughter to multitudes. As the
first author to use the newly-opened Fields Papers at the Academy
library, Arthur Frank Wertheim illuminates the comedian's arduous
ascent to stardom during Hollywood's golden age. The book reveals
details of Fields's turbulent private life, from his wife's refusal
to divorce, to his estranged son, and to his fleeting relationships
with women. Here is a portrait of an aggrieved artist whose
emotional anguish found refuge in his poignant comedy about life's
frustrations and the human condition. This third volume in
Wertheim's trilogy documents Fields's rise to iconic status during
the counterculture 1960s, creating a legacy of his comedy for
generations to come.
