One of history’s greatest curmudgeons, William Claude
Dukenfield, was born on this date in 1880 at Darby, Pennsylvania. Better known
as W.C Fields, he appeared in Vaudeville, on Broadway with the Ziegfeld Follies, and made dozens of films, both silent and “talkies". He was known for a caustic wit and is regarded
as one of the world’s preeminent curmudgeons. R.I.P, W.C.
"I am free of all predjudices. I hate everyone equally."
-W.C. Fields.
