W. C. Fields

William Claude Dukenfield ()"Fields always observed his birthday on January 29, and his death certificate confirms this. ... When Fields married Harriet Veronica Hughes in San Francisco, on April 8, 1900, he was twenty years old and, under California law, could not enter into a marriage without parental consent. He therefore gave his birthdate as April 9, 1879, and often used this date thereafter. However, when he applied for a passport later that same year, he swore under oath that his correct birthdate was January 29, 1880." Curtis, James. W. C. Fields: A Biography. New York: A. Knopf, 2003, p. 525 yang lebih dikenal sebagai W. C. Fields, adalah seorang pelawak, pemeran, juggler, dan penulis Amerika Serikat.Obituary Variety, January 1, 1947, p. 46. Pesona komika Fields masih menjadi karakter khasnya.
