JACK CARSON d1963. Prolific Canadian-born US based character actor and one of the most popular during The Golden Age Of Hollywood between the 1930s-50s. Primarily employed for comic relief, his work in The Hard Way (1943) / Mildred Pierce (1945) and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958) proved he could also master dramatic material. Carson's trademark was as the wisecracking know it all, who eventually and typically was undone by his own excessive self-confidence. Married four times, he died of cancer aged 52
