Mary Livingstone dies wife of Jack Benny at 77
Mary Livingstone, born Sadye Marks, widow of Jack Benny, died at 77 in Holmby Hills after a long heart ailment. She met Benny at a hosiery counter in Los Angeles, joined his act, then became Mary Livingstone on radio and TV, later legally changing her name in 1949. Her onstage quip about a scar on Benny’s face helped shape his famous persona. In separate notes, Willie Nelson will headline a nine hour Carrier Dome concert continuing his Dripping Springs Reunion series.
