Held at the International Ballroom in the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 8th 1961. Said Cooper, legs stretching contentedly from the dais to the far side of the room: "If someone were to ask me am I the luckiest man in the world, the answer would be—Yup."

Gary Cooper was under treatment for prostate and colon cancer at the time, then found out in February that it had spread further and was terminal. He died a few months later on May 13 1961 at age 60.

One of the leading entertainers of the 20th Century, Jack Benny's comic timing remains legendary. Be it his signature pregnant pause or his exasperated "WELL!" audiences adored the most famous cheapskate in town. His radio and television family: Eddie Anderson aka Rochester, Mel Blanc, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, and his real life wife Mary Livingston, formed one of the most beloved ensembles of the sitcom format. They were his foils to laughter and his deadpan expressions spoke volumes. Forever 39, Benny hit just the right notes in comedy-his attempts at violin playing notwithstanding.
