Hi Listers: This was just forwarded to me through MailBits.com: Trivia Subscription. This info will be helpful to anyone out there who may be researching, the actor, W.C. Fields or his family. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a joyous New Year! Donna HELLER ZINN of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA. ****************************** W.C. Fields, the great 1930s movie comedian and famous misanthrope, died on Christmas, the holiday he despised. Of all the notable quotes that issued from this notorious curmudgeon, the most often quoted, said to be from his California tombstone, is "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." But you would have an easier time locating his ghost than the words on that famous marker. Fields was cremated and has no tombstone. He made the remark to a magazine that had asked what he would want on his stone. (Source: MYTH-INFORMED) (C) Copyright MailBits.com 1998-1999. All rights reserved.
