From the Archives: My mistress’ name is nothing like my wife’s

Today’s tidbit comes from volume 5, issue 6:

Noted comic (and drunk) W. C. Fields left the world with these fine parting remarks: “God d*** the whole friggin’ world and everyone in it but you, Carlotta.” If that sounds sweet, consider that Fields’ wife’s name was Harriet. Carlotta Monti was his mistress.

  2. From what I can find, there are at least 5 very different versions of his last words. William Claude Dukenfield died Christmas Day, 1946, of a variety of illnesses related to alcohol abuse. He was very much a tragic figure, and it was believed that he had stashed much of his money in accounts that could not be found.

    Just appears to be a random factoid.
