These W.C. Fields quotes from the cantankerous comedian are sure to make you laugh.

W.C. Fields was born as William Claude Dunkenfield in January of 1880.

Fields starred in over a dozen films before he really started to make a name for himself in Hollywood.

In the early 1930s, he signed a deal for four comedy shorts and introduced the world to his comedic persona: a pessimistic, antisocial man with a liking for alcohol.

    There was one about W. C. That I didn’t see here. While living at the Actor’s facility in the San Fernando Valley
    A friend came to visit him. He was sitting in a wheel chair with a blanket covering his legs. He had the Bible on hi lap and he was thumbing through the pages. His friend said “WC, you have never been a religious man, what are you looking for?” WC responded, “Loopholes my boy, loopholes” !
