I just have to smile every time I think of Robert Benchley. A funny, funny man. He graced two of Bob's movies: Live, Love and Learn (1937) and Piccadilly Jim (1936). This photo was taken in 1944, a year before his death at the young age of 56. One too many martinis.
Robert Benchley b. Sept. 15, 1899; d. Nov. 21, 1945.
Robert shows his acting chops in this scene from Live, Love and Learn.
A Happy Birthday goes out to my big brother who share's Mr. Benchley's birthday, and is almost as funny. Well, in his own way ....

Oh how I love Robert Benchley! What a truly incredible wit! No wonder Dorothy Parker adored him.
