Jack Carson Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

John Elmer "Jack" Carson (October 27, 1910 – January 2, 1963) was a Canadian-born American-based film actor.Carson was one of the most popular character actors during the "golden age of Hollywood", with a film career spanning the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Though he was primarily used in supporting roles for comic relief, his work in films such as Mildred Pierce (1945) and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) displayed his mastery of "straight" dramatic actor roles as well. He worked for RKO and MGM (cast opposite Myrna Loy and William Powell in Love Crazy), but most of his memorable work was for Warner Brothers. His trademark character was the wisecracking know it all, typically and inevitably undone by his own smug cockiness.

#	Trademark
1	Tall, beefy character who specialized in friendly but frequently untrustworthy types
2	Well known throughout industry for his famous "double take"

#	Quote
1	[describing an actor who refused to perform a simple stunt] He's not exactly a coward, but most of his pluck is in his eyebrows.
2	People will always laugh at somebody else's discomfort. But they only laugh because they have suffered the same indignity themselves or known darn well how it feels. Being a comedian is almost like being a doctor--the more troubles you discover and understand, the more gladness you can bring to an audience.
3	Fans are people who let an actor know he's not alone in the way he feels about himself.

#	Fact
1	Uncle of Kit Carson.
2	There was an unsubstantiated claim that Carson had a bit role in "Follow the Fleet.".
3	Stepfather of Brooke Tucker.
4	Jack's daughter with Kay St. Germain Wells, Germaine Catherine Carson, also died of cancer (April 12, 2010). In his will, Jack had reversed her first and middle names, requiring her to apply for a legal aka as Catherine Germaine Carson, the name she was using at her death.
5	He was awarded 2 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: For Radio at 6361 Hollywood Boulevard, and for Television at 1560 Vine Street in Hollywood, California.
6	During the 1940s, he would often disappear from Hollywood for weeks at a time. Only his wife knew where he went, and she (Kay St. Germain Wells) would tell no one. Years later Carson revealed the secret: he had joined the Clyde Beatty circus as a clown and was traveling with their show. Audiences never knew it was him; "They loved me and my routines," he said,.
7	Younger brother of actor Robert Carson, the boys were born in Canada but raised in Milwaukee. His father, Edward L. Carson, was involved in insurance.
8	Collapsed in August of 1962 while in rehearsal for the play "Critic's Choice." An early diagnosis deemed it a stomach "disorder," but two months later, cancer was discovered while he was undergoing an unrelated operation.
9	His first vaudeville teaming was with friend Dave Willock. He and Dave graduated from St. John's Academy in Delafield, Wisconsin, and teamed up while attending Carleton College. They sang, danced and told jokes and later went on radio.
10	While touring in vaudeville, he met his first wife, dancer Betty Alice Lindy. They later performed together in a song-and-dance act ("Lindy and Carson") for a year on the Orpheum Theatre circuit. They married in 1938 but divorced a year later.
11	According to an article in "Classic Images" by Frances Ingram, Jack became briefly involved with Warner Bros. singing star Doris Day while appearing together in her very first films Romance on the High Seas (1948), It's a Great Feeling (1949) and My Dream Is Yours (1949). He was 38 and she was 24. The relationship didn't work reportedly because he drank too much.
12	During WWII, he entertained Gen. Douglas MacArthur's troops in the South Pacific.
13	Was a pilot. He volunteered to join the U.S. Army Air Corps but was rejected due to his height. He was turned down by the Army because he had flat feet.
14	Had a four-year run on radio with "Everybody Loves Jack" (1943-1947).
15	Worked with Ginger Rogers in six RKO pics and lost her each time to one of her leading co-stars. He finally won her in The Groom Wore Spurs (1951).
16	Recorded for Design Records in 1957: "Jack Carson Sings Favorite College songs". He later sang for Capitol Records.
17	Jack and Dennis Morgan made at least 15 projects together, including Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943) and The Hard Way (1943).
18	Grandfather of Seth D. Webster, who is the son of Daniel Frank Webster.
19	Jack's 4th wife, Sandra Jolley, was the first wife of actor Forrest Tucker.
20	Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith. Pg. 94-95. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387
21	Died on the same day as Dick Powell. They died from different forms of cancer.
22	Was writing a book about religion before he died.
23	Loved a good discussion about philosophy.
