William Claude Dukenfield (January 29, 1880[1] – December 25, 1946), better known as W. C. Fields, was an American comedian, actor, juggler and writer.[2] Fields' comic persona was a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist, who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs, children, and women. The characterization he portrayed in films and on radio was so strong it was generally identified with Fields himself. It was maintained by the publicity departments at Fields' studios (Paramount and Universal) and was further established by Robert Lewis Taylor's biography, W.C. Fields, His Follies and Fortunes (1949).[citation needed] Beginning in 1973, with the publication of Fields' letters, photos, and personal notes in grandson Ronald Fields' book W.C. Fields by Himself, it was shown that Fields was married (and subsequently estranged from his wife), and financially supported their son and loved his grandchildren. However, Fields' friend Madge Evans, an actress, told a visitor in 1972 that Fields so deeply resented intrusions on his privacy by curious tourists walking up the driveway to his Los Angeles home that he would hide in the shrubs by his house and fire BB pellets at the trespassers' legs. Some years later, Groucho Marx told a similar story on his live performance album, An Evening with Groucho. William Claude Dukenfield (January 29, 1880[1] – December 25, 1946), better known as W. C.

Fields was born William Claude Dukenfield in Darby, Pennsylvania, the oldest child in a poor family. His father, James Lydon Dukenfield, was from an English family that emigrated to America from Sheffield, England in 1854. James Dukenfield served in Company M of the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War and was wounded in 1863. Fields' mother, Kate Spangler (née Felton), 15 years younger than her husband, was a Protestant of German ancestry.[citation needed] The 1876 Philadelphia City Directory lists James Dukenfield as a clerk. After marrying, he worked as an independent produce merchant and a part-time hotel-keeper. Claude Dukenfield (as he was known) worked at the Strawbridge and Clothier department store and in an oyster house, before he ran away from home at age 11.[3] Self-educated, he spent substantial time perfecting his juggling, practicing till his fingers bled.[3] At age 15, he was performing a juggling act at church and theater shows, and entered vaudeville as a "tramp juggler" using the name W. C. Fields. He soon was traveling as "The Eccentric Juggler", and included amusing asides and increasing amounts of comedy into his act, becoming a headliner in North America and Europe. By the early 1900s, while touring, he was regularly called the world’s greatest juggler. In 1906, he made his Broadway debut in a musical comedy, The Ham Tree. Fields embellished stories of his youth, but his home life seems to have been a reasonably happy one. His family supported his ambitions for the stage and saw him off on the train for his first stage tour. His father visited him for two months in England when Fields was performing there in music halls.[4] His stage costume from 1915 onwards featured a top hat, cut-away coat and collar, and a cane—an appearance remarkably similar to the cartoon character Ally Sloper. Fields fancied himself a cartoonist in the early 1900s while he was traveling in Europe, and it is speculated[who?] that Ally Sloper may have been the inspiration for his costume. The Sloper character may in turn have been inspired by Dickens' Mr Micawber, whom Fields later played on film. Fields was known among his friends as "Bill". Edgar Bergen called him Bill in the radio shows (while Charlie McCarthy called him many names). Fields played himself in Never Give a Sucker an Even Break, and his "niece" called him "Uncle Bill". (In one scene he introduced himself: "I'm W.C., uh, Bill Fields"). When he was portrayed in films as having a son, he often named the character "Claude", after his own son. He was sometimes billed in England as "Wm. C. Fields", because "W.C." is British slang for a water closet (toilet). His public use of initials was a commonplace formality of the era in which he grew up. "W.C. Fields" also fit more easily onto a marquee than "W.C. Dukenfield". Fields married a fellow vaudevillian, chorus girl Harriet "Hattie" Hughes, on April 8, 1900.[10] Their son, William Claude Fields, Jr., was born on July 28, 1904.[11] Although Fields was "an avowed atheist [who] regarded all religions with the suspicion of a seasoned con man", he yielded to Hattie's wish to have their son At the time Fields was away from Hattie on tour in England. By 1907, however, he and Hattie separated; she had been pressing him to stop touring and settle into a respectable trade, while he was unwilling to give up show business. Until his death, Fields continued to correspond with Hattie and voluntarily sent child-support payments. He had another son, named William Rexford Fields Morris (born August 15, 1917), with girlfriend Bessie Poole. Bessie was an established Ziegfeld Follies performer and met Fields while performing in New York City at the famous Amsterdam Theater. Her beauty and quick wit attracted Fields, who was the featured act from 1916 until 1922. She was killed in a bar fight several years after their son's birth, leaving him to be raised in foster care, where he acquired the surname Morris from his foster mother. Fields sent voluntary support to young Bill in care of his foster mother until he graduated from high school, when he sent $300 as a gift. Fields lived with Carlotta Monti (1907–1993) after they met in 1932, beginning a relationship that lasted until his death in 1946. Monti had small roles in two of Fields' films, and in 1971 wrote a biography, W.C. Fields and Me, then made into a motion picture at Universal Studios in 1976. Fields was listed in the 1940 census as single and living at 2015 DeMille Drive (Cecil B. DeMille lived at 2000, the only other address on the street).
