Jack Benny Fast Facts:
Dropped out of high school to pursue a career playing the violin, an instrument that became a prop in his act.
A far better violinist than he made himself out to be, he owned a real Stradivarius (made in 1724) that he often played at charity events.
Although cheapness was part of his comic persona, he was said to be one of Hollywood's biggest tippers.
Hosted the Academy Awards in 1944 and 1947.
Made provisions in his will for his widow, Mary Livingstone, to receive a red rose every day for as long as she lived.
The California town of Rancho Cucamonga, made famous by Benny in his radio and TV skits, erected a seven-foot bronze memorial statue of him in 1993.
