From posters and vintage magazines to original photos and books, when he sat down to write Fields' biography there was almost too much. Here, Curtis presents a sample of gems that didn't make the book's final cut. Much is in color and all of it is printable. So take a few minutes to explore the world of W. C. Fields.

Also in the cast were Cora Witherspoon, Una Merkel, Evelyn Del Rio, Jessie Ralph, Shemp Howard, Richard Purcell, and the wonderful Grady Sutton. Next photo >> Gallery Mainpage
