Description de l'ouvrage:
The 62 iconic subjects of this volume could pop up in any movie—as plumbers or secretaries or bank tellers, as wives or husbands or (would-be) lovers. They could be pompous or scatterbrained. What they all shared in common was a genius for making funny faces at life. They made us laugh at our world—and ourselves. They are the Hollywood Funsters: the comics, the clowns, and the jesters of the silver screen. Individual in-depth chapters highlight such outstanding laugh provokers as Abbott & Costello, Woody Allen, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, Eve Arden, Lucille Ball, Fanny Brice, Joe E. Brown, Burns & Allen, Judy Canova, Eddie Cantor, Charles Chaplin, Joan Davis, Phyllis Diller, Marie Dressler, Jimmy Durante, Leon Errol, W.C. Fields, Judy Holliday, Bob Hope, Danny Kaye, Buster Keaton, Patsy Kelly, Ernie Kovacs, Laurel & Hardy, Jack Lemmon, Harold Lloyd, Marjorie Main, Martin & Lewis, the Marx Brothers, Mabel Normand, Edna May Oliver, ZaSu Pitts, Martha Raye, Will Rogers, Phil Silvers, Red Skelton, S.Z. Sakall, the Three Stooges, Ben Turpin, Dick Van Dyke, Clifton Webb, Mae West, and Ed Wynn.
