My Take
Jack Carson deserves to be remembered better than he is. A Canadian-born character actor, he was the consummate comedic sidekick of 1940s and 1950s Hollywood, yet he quietly proved his range in heavier fare like Mildred Pierce, A Star Is Born and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. What I admire is his timing, the way he could supply warmth and laughter just off the lead's shoulder without ever stealing focus. His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is fitting, but his death at 52 cut short a craftsman I think the modern audience has unfairly let slip from memory.
