Oakie Comeback Highlighted by Time Article
Time Magazine’s cinema column chronicles Jack Oakie’s return from Hollywood exile after a drink fueled rut at Paramount. From vaudeville beginnings in Sedalia to Broadway chorus lines, he became a star after meeting Wesley Ruggles and later The Great Dictator with Chaplin. Oakie’s banishment, mayoral stint, and enduring own-brand comic style are noted, along with his self aware view on scene stealing and his resilience in films like Fast Company and I Had a Million.
